my jvc.gr d21ek camcorder showed "condensation paused". I left it turned on for 2 hours and the warning went off. When I tried to use it again it wouldnt work unless it was plugged into the mains, it wouldnt play anything back, it would go into record mode and it looked as if everything was normal on the record screen but nothing was playing back though the play back arrow was flashing as normal.

The screen and lens wont light up when I want to record although the camera is recording and reciving sound
When I play it back Obviously there is no visible picture
I have tried all the settings on the Menu, but am getting nowhere.
