E65 Canon Camcorder HELP stuck "Tape End"
Jerry G.
Your machines problem can be a tape end sensor and or some associated
circuitry. It can be anything from the sensor itself, dirt, bad
connection, or even a failed part in its associated circuits...
To name an exact part or cost would be just guessing. The average
repair on those machines can be from about $60.00 and up depending on
the parts that are changed, and the time spent on it...

I am not real sure that your problem on the Canon E-65. I work on a lot of
Canon camcorders, and I have seen this symptom on "60" series Canon
camcorders. You could have a dirty/torn/not\ seated flex cable from the deck
flex to the main CBA. You "could" have a bad sensor or SMD capacitor.
After 32 years as a Technician I still don't know how to answer the question
"is it worth fixing". That is 100% you decision. I would get a estimate on
the repair first. If you are considering fixing it yourself I don't know
what value you put on your time. I don't know your abilities. It will NOT be
a "all you got to do" repair. Most camcorder repair places will not even
consider working on your camcorder if they detect damage caused by a fouled
repair attempt.....normal repairs are difficult enough.
Good luck, I hope I have helped.

it could be a faulty sensor, but caps are a mojority of the problem
these days. You can either have a shop change out the ones that are bad,
dried, leaking now and hope for the best. Or you could have them change
all of them out. The later is more dollar intensive, but a more
sure-fire way.
