Sony Handycam CCD-TR424E: Sony CCD-TR424E Pal receives power but does not work.

Mon, 29 Jun 2026 11:24:05 -0700

Hi!

I am trying to revive an old Sony CCD-TR425E PAL camcorder, but it does not fully work.

The side-display works, but shows only battery readings / charging.
Able to charge the battery.
Able to eject the cassette compartment.
Able to perform aforementioned functions without the battery when connected to the power cord.
Able to perform aforementioned functions using the battery when not connected to the power cord.

So it has some semblance of life, but not enough to be operational.

Fig 1: Sony CCD-TR425E PAL camcorder side-display showing battery readings.

Cannot record / play a cassette.
Does not make any mechanical noises of attempting to play a cassette after insertion / attempted playback. (Except for closing the cassette compartment)
No image in the viewfinder display.
The side-display does not show anything except battery readings.
Cannot access menus or settings.
Cannot enter service mode / cannot display service-mode diagnostic codes.

Replaced the coin cell battery.
Replaced the main battery.
The external AC adapter / charger outputs the correct voltage (8.4 V).
The battery is receiving charge (charges to 8.2 V, within spec)
(Failed) Attempted to enter self-diagnostic mode.
(Failed) Attempted to play back / record from a cassette.

How should I continue troubleshooting this?

When reading on Reddit, some folks mention for similar models that it is common for a fuse to fail (without mentioning specifics). Looking at a similar question here on iFixit I found this QnA also mentioning a fuse.

So I found the service manual and schematics, looking at the power board (board DD-117, page section 4-109 to 4-112E, p. 84 in pdf reader) I found the following fuses in the schematic:

PS801 (BAT_UNREG)
PS802
PS803 (VTR_UNREG)
PS804
PS805 (may not exist on my model)
PS106
PS107

Fig 2: DD-117 schematic electrical diagram, p.84, particular fuses are in the area B-11 to C-13, marked orange in the figure.

I can confirm on p. 83 in pdf reader (page section 4-106 to 4-108) with the SMD overview that those are all the fuses on the power board.

Is my next step to disassemble the camcorder and use my multimeter to test all the fuses?
I will also look around for any obvious damaged / burnt components too during disassembly.
Is there anything I should do before I disassemble the camcorder?
Is there anything else I should do when dismantling the camcorder, besides testing the the fuses?

Thanks in advance,
Cheers.

Canon EOS 2000D: My camera won't turn on, not even the viewfinder info.

Sun, 21 Jun 2026 07:10:50 -0700

So, like I said in the title, my camera won't turn on. And to be more precise, not even the screen or the red flashing LED won't turn on. The battery is charged, the contacts are clean and I tried everything I've found on the Internet to try and get it working. I've ran out of ideas, so if you all have stumbled across this issue and fixed it or if you know a possible fix, please try to help me. Thank you!
