JVC GR-D70U thinks lens cap is on when it's not?

I saw someone else actually had the same exact problem I had and sold his on eBay http://cgi.ebay.com/JVC-GR-D70U-MiniDV-Camcorder-For-Repair-or-Parts_W0QQitemZ7594019496QQcategoryZ20331QQcmdZViewItem. But I want to try to fix mine instead. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks.

Thank you for letting me know about the CCD repair program JVC has. I had the same "lens cap" failure as described by the original poster and called JVC. They told me to send the camera to their NJ repair facility for a free repair. I'll post the outcome once I get the camera back!
