Sony DCR-PC1E suddenly switches off

149.148.136.66

Posted by mike99 on March 17, 2003 at 02:14:53

Hi,

i am having the following problem with my Sony PC1e camera:

After a short time (10-15 min) the camera during recording, playing or stand-by suddenly switches off without displaying an error-code. If it is switched on again, it works for a couple of minutes and switches off again, aso. The working periods are getting shorter and shorter. The problem turns up when using the accu or the ac-adapter.

With the ac-adapter the camera even has more problems: Sometimes it is not able any more to pull in a newly inserted cassette. It simply switches off during the pull in.

I have brought the camera to the local Sony-support. They told me, that the board VC-210 (number A7073710A) has to be exchanged. Since the repair would have been very expensive (> 500 Euro) and I am thinking that probably it is not necessary to exchange the whole board, I took the camera back unrepaired.

Does anybody knows this problem and knows a way to repair it ? I really do not want to throw away the camera.

Regards
Michael
