Thanks for the info "JVC Dude". I don't think that I'll want to take
the cam apart. I'd rather have it working in B&W then not at all.
I am never going to use it for any serious recording anyway. I was
just curious as to what could be wrong.
Thanks again.



If you don't replace the capacitors it'll soon cease to function at all and
the damage will likely leave it unrepairable if it's not already. The
malfunction is partially caused by leaked electrolyte corroding out the
traces on the circuit boards and it'll keep spreading and rotting like
cancer.
