Sony Camcorder Help !!!!!
Hi all
I have got a Sony video camera about 4 years old, it is analogue and has had very little use "i.e. holidays" I just got it out again ready for my holiday and it seems to be faulty. It seems to record ok, timer counts up, tape is going round but when I go to playback there is nothing there and the odd thing in when you rewind the tape the counter seems to stay on the value you recorded up to, and not go back down, and also in playback the counter wont move. It is as though the thing is recording but not playing back. Everything else is fine on the camera. I have tried repair shops and no one seems keen to look at camcorders. If I could pinpoint the faulty part I could replace myself any ideas please. I would have thought it was the main head at fault but I am no expert. Cheers Noel PS I have tried all the simple things "i.e. new tapes head cleaner" |
