I obtained this camcorder, and the VCR works fine, altho it can use a new
belt and idler kit.

Here is the problem, when I put it in camera mode, there is no autofocus,
shutter movement, or any video from the camera. there are just noise lines
in the VF. the noise lines dissapear when I flip it in VCR mode.

I can hear a very faint off-pitch hiss in the camera section while in camera
mode.

Any Ideas? I have no schematic to trace anything down. sounds like the hiss
is comming from a DC-DC on the camera board.

Hello Mike,

I have the same camcorder and I am having the same issue. Power on the camcorder and switch to cam mode and just noise lines no visible video. I took mine apart and was going to check the dc - dc converter per the below comments. Did you have any luck with yours?
