Blue lines appear across screen during video playback.

I have been using my panasonic 250 for several years now. I am currently trying to play back recorded video, and blue lines appear across the video screen during playback. I have used the same tape in another camera, and no lines appear, thus it is only a playback issue. What can be done to fix this. Did anyone ever fix his issue? I have the same problem with wide blue lines on playback.

    I ran my Sony head cleaning tape a couple of times and it still doesn't help. Should I try some alcohol on a Qtip on the video head?

Lines across screen on playback.

A Q-tip should never be used to clean a video head.  Unfortunately they can pull the tiny head out of alignment.  I believe this is your problem and the repaid may be more costly than a new purchase.

Blue bars across video

I have the same problem with my PV-GS14. You have to find the last spot you recorded in, pause it, then switch to record, and just record something for a couple of seconds. Switch back to playback, and it should be fine. Neonlaundry, I read your other posts, and it seems we both have the same problems. If you find a solution, please post it. Thnks.
