I have a mini-dv that needs repair, but I am having a hard time
finding something locally that will deal with it. Does anyone know a
reputable place that fixes/repairs mini-dv camcorders that won't break
the bank?

Mostly, the manufacturers repair those items.

I have recently heard about Mack Camera and Video One Repair.com. I
was wondering if they might be cheaper, considering original
manufacturers usually charge a lot of money - last check for me, they
said $500.00+ for a repair job.

'local' usually depends on where you are located. perhaps if you put
that in your message you'd get some useful answers! or did you mean
online places?

I'd say that any regular reputable electronics repair shop should be able to
fix that firewire connector for less than $100 if it is just physically
damaged.

I am local the Toronto area. I would hope that $100 was the case. My
camera is intermittent when it comes to the firewire, so I am pretty
sure it is a bad or bent pin. So anywhere in the Toronto area would
be great for a Sony TRV38. Thanks,

David

Also, if anyone has had good result with another place in USA or
Canada, I can always mail the camera away. Just looking for someone
reputable with good prices.- and more importantly, knows dv cameras.

'fraid you're going to have to turn to Google for a place that fixes
mini-dv camcorders for a decent price.

If it doesn't work, then **** it. 8MM has a so much better picture
anyway.

I have googled and found some places, but without some feedback about
them, it is a crap shoot. I was hoping someone on here might have
used a place with success.

I'd venture a guess that most people here would fix it themselves rather
than send it to a shop. Sorry I don't have any real useful input to your
question. Like I said earlier though check with local tv / electronics
repair shops if there are any and see what they say.

- Mike

I have been trying that. Most place around here give me that
quizzical look - "I think I can fix it, but what exactly does it do
again?"
That doesn't fill me with a great deal of confidence unfortunately...
