My camera doesn't do crap anymore. When I open the tape compartment nothing happens. When I turn my cam on.. nothing happens.
When I put it on the charger the LCD screen turns white but that's all..
Can anyone help?

drop it hard?
whats the worse that can happen if its already broken?
11 June 2006, 21:50 UTC#3
if it looks alright I can still sell it right

There isn't really any user serviceable parts inside a camera.

Thats pretty solid advice. I did that to my iPod cause I got the idea from an episode of the flintstones and it works perfect now...

Actually, if you google for error code c31:23 for sony hand cams, the only advice you find is "slam it hard"

12 June 2006, 14:37 UTC#10
see I knows my shit
12 June 2006, 14:38 UTC#11
Yeah, and there is litterally hundreds of posts saying that slamming it worked

(for that error code that is)
12 June 2006, 14:48 UTC#12
good luck then kuffi, let me know the outcome and what my reward is
12 June 2006, 21:41 UTC#13

Ooh, could that be the problem?
I think the cam is worthless, would cost too much to repair etc. Just use it for a prop for a skit or prank.

or sell it to me for parts ill give you £10 (I have basicly the same cam)

My mate is getting a 3CCD this week!!!

and he used to have a HC40 so Im probably gonna buy his one, sell the cam (without battery's) for parts.
I'll see Webby, I'll first check if I can get some more money off it, I would have done it but shipping to the UK already costs a gayload.

I'll pay shipping too, find out how much it is, my camera gets knocked alot and if I had a spear for parts im sure I could replace what ever gets broken
24 June 2006, 20:26 UTC#18
sorry, sold for 40 pounds.
24 June 2006, 20:30 UTC#19
I say you take take it and blugent a telemarketer to death with it. It won't fix it but it will make the world a better place.
