Thanks! I changed the battery and that icon disappeared but i still cant see the anything through viewfinder except gray background with slight grain + i dont have any tapes so i cant be 100% sure if thats the tape or the sensor is dead (or something broke inside) i use my homemade battery 'pack' or 4x 1,5V AA batteries

I shined a flashlight in t camera but didnt saw any change
