I'm Unable To View My Recordings. My Camcorder Only Shows Lines. What Can I Do?

I ejected a tape and the tape was unraveling when I took it out. The tape came out with no problem, however now my camcorder won't play any tapes. It only shows vertical lines.

From the sounds of it, your camcorder may need to be repaired. That said, you can try to contact Samsung directly for troubleshooting first:
