Canon XM1 (GL1) digital camcorder repair
 

Hi!

My friend brought me this camcorder with following problem description:
* First the picture on the LCD screen on the side disappeared
* the view finder worked, but camera could turn off any moment
* Then it died completely. No picture, no sound, no lights.

Now, I opened the camera and noticed that one of the wires going to the
LCD screen was broken, and someone had repaired it before. But the
soldering didn´t last, and so the wire was free again. I resoldered it,
and checked for fuses.. I´m not sure, but I think there are three fuses
on that small pcb to wich power cable from battery compartment connects
to. The suspected components were marked as FUxxxx, and were little
black smd components, maybe 4x5mm in size. "30" marked on top.
Are these fuses?
Any other parts that might have gone bad enough to kill the camera
completely?

TIA!

Small update:
The components that I suspect are marked FU3201 - FU3203.
I did some measuring, and one of them (FU3201) is definately broken.
It´s resistance is ~30k, while the others are at 0,7ohm.
These small, black components are 3.4mm long, 2.5mm wide and 2.2mm high.

What are they? What values?

Could you repair you're camera?
I can confirm that is is a fuse. I need those 3 but i do'nt no where to buy them. I even do'nt no where they are located at the camera i'm using. It's the MV-20i.

I know you're posting is a long time ago but maybe you can remember.

Thanks.
