Camera wont eject tapes. The tape pops up, stays there, then goes back down.
Any ideas of how I could fix this?
22 May 2005, 02:54 UTC#2
that just recently happened to my friend it was bacause of it being to moist or somethig nso he had to ssend it in and get fixed took like a month to get it back
22 May 2005, 03:01 UTC#3
Yeah fuck that. I sent mine in already, cost me 80 fucking dollars!
22 May 2005, 03:02 UTC#4
do you know anythiung about warrantees? I have my cam 2 year warentee and the lcd screen doesnt work and I wanted to return it and they wouldnt let me? what the hell is the warantee for?
22 May 2005, 03:07 UTC#5
All depends on which warranty you got. My lcd was fucked, I only had to pay for labor. Bullshit. I never did anything wrong to it and I just got the shitty one. Bad luck if there is such a thing.
22 May 2005, 03:09 UTC#6
with my warrentee I have to pay for nothing
22 May 2005, 03:13 UTC#7
well I got the best warnetee because my cam was on display and I bought it in another state and I drove over there and they wouldnt give me my money back they said they can ship it in but I said not unless they give me a cam to barrow till I get mine back...people suck
22 May 2005, 04:31 UTC#8
if it was my cam, Id rip that shit out....well not like that...I had this one tape that would do that because the actual tape was messed up and somethin was catchin, so it couldnt pop out, I just gave it a little tug and it ejected...<3
22 May 2005, 04:34 UTC#9
I'll keep trying....I really want to show you guys what we got...from 2 angles.
22 May 2005, 05:40 UTC#10
man that sucks, the same happened to my cam last month, but there was also a nest of bug eggs in the eye piece, if you keep it in your pocket alot the static electricity will build up and fry the circut boards, I would dissassemble it and clean it odd are you have some film tape caught inside, I hope some of this helps
22 May 2005, 05:51 UTC#11
I have the best warrenty, I just give it to my mom cuz she works at sony and she brings it back that day

nice, I would have gotten mine fixed but getting mine fixed would have cost more than the cam, I ripped off the serial number and shit cause I hate stickers I don't apply for some reason
did you mom get you a discount on your cam and shit?
22 May 2005, 05:58 UTC#13
al, why do you keep your cam in your pocket, you silly duck.

Nicco, this is the 2nd time it's broken and last time I had parts coverage, but not labor. $80!
Ben, I was thinking I'll take it apart, do what I can with it, then eventually get a new camera. We were just starting to really get into filming again and were talking about making a DVD. Not for sale though, just anyone who is cool can have a copy for free.
