I've been working with my XHA1 for a couple months, now, and rented/borrowed units for well over a year. I'm QUITE aware of the STANDBY/LOCK switch, and I assure everyone that it is correctly positioned.
I've also performed a reset (remove power source, hold tiny reset button under LCD screen down with paperclip for ten seconds) and that has not solved it either.
So now Canon is asking me to send the camera back for repair, and I have to part with it for up to three weeks for this process to take place.
VCR mode works fine. I can pop in a tape and play it and see it onscreen.
But none of the Camera modes power up completely. I hear the tape drive starting up - it makes the usual sounds - and the LCD screen shows an "activated" black but there is no image from the lens/sensor and no text on the screen.
Is there anyone else who's experienced this with the XHA1?
