Hello my name is Sherman and I am one of the techs here at VideoOneRepair.com. You’re probably watching this video because you are having a problem with your Sony camcorder. I’d like to show you a couple of quick tips to get your camcorder back up and running again.
In this video we are looking at the a Sony HDR-FX7 camcorder. The problem that we are seeing here, is that the cassette door won’t latch and stay closed either with or without a tape inside. It is also stuck in the full unload or eject position and will not load down.
You may also see an error code like c:32:11 flashing on the LCD or the viewfinder. Other Sony error codes that you may see are C:31:10, C:31:11 or C:32:10. You may even have the camcorder say to re-attach the power source. These Sony error codes stand for a loading problem or an error with the mechanical tape transport.
The first thing that you can try is to remove power from the camcorder and then reapply power to the camcorder. Doing this will reset the main microprocessor and ultimately cause the mechanical assembly to reset as well. If that does not take care of it , then you do have a problem, that won’t go away on its own. Your camcorder will need to be professionally repaired.
The reason that this happens is due to a problem in the VCR or mechanical tape transport section of the camcorder. There are parts of the mechanical assembly that don’t allow it to communicate properly with the microprocessor circuits.
We are very experienced at being able to reliably fix this, or any problem that you are experiencing your Sony FX7 camcorder. When repaired properly there’s no reason why you can’t get years more of good service from this camcorder.
Whatever the problem is you’re having with your camcorder, we are here to help. We work on these camcorders every day and are very experienced with them. Give us a call and you can talk to me or any one of our other camcorder techs. We would be happy to talk to you and answer any of your repair questions.
