Here is the 04/18/2004 update concerning the "REATTACH BATTERY"
or "UNIT IN SAFEGUARD MODE" problem that seems to be affecting a
lot of us JVC video-camera owners. The problem also goes by error
codes such as "E01", "E03", "E04" and probably others, depending
on the camera model. Many also have had only blank tape to show
after videotaping some event, so I have added that issue to the
complaint. A videocam should know if it is taping or not.
There are so many complaints on the Internet, that I have started
keeping track of them at http://jvc-class-action.blogspot.com/
For those of you who have joined the complaint process, or are
thinking that maybe you should complain, here is what I have so
far:
The problem affects up to 96 videocam models from JVC. There are
326 people with the same complaints, from 17 different countries,
56 of which have given me their contact information and joined
this complaint. In the USA alone, there are owners from 18 states
who have the problem. All information came from public complaints
on the Internet. The details are as follows:

I am not a lawyer, but am in the process of selecting one who
will handle the class-action lawsuit. It seems the size of JVC's
ripoffs affects so many camera models and people, in so many
countries, that instead of wasting time with complaints to
entities like the Better Business Bureau, Federal Trade
Commission, etc., we should just go straight for the class-action
lawsuit. If you disagree, let me know.
If you have not joined this group of angry customers, join us,
and you will not only help yourself and us, but also keep future
customers from being ripped off. This problem has been known to
JVC for years, it affects multiple product lines, and has caused
us countless headaches, frustration and money. We have lost time,
money, and opportunities to tape our family and other things that
are important to us. Opportunities that are gone for good because
the camera would not work. Join us. Individually, JVC will beat
you. Together, we have great power and cannot be ignored any
longer. By the way, if you join there is no obligation or cost to
you.
To join, send your name, address, phone number, camera model, and
any horror stories to juancarrera@yahoo.com
