i own a panasonic PV-GS15 mini DV. the other day i tried to watch some recorded footage i had on a tape but when i go to play mode the screen stays blue and the timer stays at 0h00m00s00f through out the whole tape as if i didn't record anything. i tried all my old tapes and the same thing is happening. does anyone know if this can be fixed?

yea i have the same problem but if i hit it, on the bottom it starts to show parts of the movie and if i hit it again usually it will fix it self

I too have this issue - sony DCR PC 330e - is it a [problem with the playback head?
