While plugging my camcorder into the front of my VCR/DVD the insulated
wire picked up static off the front of the TV screen and at the same
time a spark jumped from the wire connector to the input jack. Now
Video does not work, sound does. Can't recall for certain, but I
think it's safe to assume I was plugging in the video connector. Has
anyone ever come across this?

It's a JVC VCR/DVD. Assuming there is a fuse, how do I identify it,
fix it?

Please help if you can. Thanks.

From what you describe, it is very likely the video output or input circuit
was damaged. It is likely the video comes frome a surface mount IC in the
camera or the input on the VCR. Use another video source to find where the
fault lies.

This is one thing an LCD TV won't have - Static! : )
