last night i borrowed neighbours camcorder to watch some old tapes of my kids. glass of wine and four tapes later I was in heaven.
was watching a tape and rewound the tape to watch a part again but the screen was blank. it was was not showing how many minutes were left on the display. i tried another tape that I had just watched and the same thing happened - the camcorder was not reading any of the tapes.
I have felt sick all night, I swear I did nothing and just watched the tapes and was very careful the whole time. I cant think what happened. Can anyone help? This actually happened with my old camcorder too. The only possibility I can come up with is my living room is slightly damp and maybe my cassettes were damp and damaged my old camera and this one? But surely not that quick after a few tapes and the tapes did not feel damp to touch to me??? Please help I feel sick to the stomach. How can I go up there and tell them I broke their camecorder - i would obviously buy another but I just feel so useless and they will never trust me again and think i dropped it or something.
