Sony Camcorder: No sound on playback - DCR-TRV330

Mon, 16 Feb 2026 08:14:31 -0700

At first the I just had a blue screen when trying to play my tapes. I disassembled the camcorder, reseated the ribbon cables and thoroughly cleaned the heads. I now have a picture but no sounds. I've connected the camcorder to a Mac with an IEEE1394 cable and can see the picture but no sound there either.

Is there a particular cable I should be looking at? Is this still related to something with the heads?

Thanks,

Jack

Sony DCR-DVD 108: How do I adjust the laser power on the DVD?

Sun, 14 Sep 2025 08:58:13 -0700

So, my camcorder can on read DVD-R, Not DVD-RW. I had the exact same model a few years ago that wrote the video to those discs, and the discs are fine because they read to my computer. Also, I have checked that the spindle, laser carrige assembly and laser are working. Also, a the CD-R mentionined above worked fine on my computer, but needed cleaning to work on the camcorder, which leads me to beileve that the laser is weak, Also just curious, what is the difference between DVD-108 and DVD 108E. Both of mine are just 108

Sony Camcorder: Sony DCR-TRV140 multiple parts fell off the tape mechanism

Tue, 17 Jun 2025 23:28:35 -0700

Hi, I have a Handycam that was previously working but then the tape mechanism was stuck to a point that it didn't eject. Googled it and multiple people said to give the camera a light smack- which did work but now it's dislodged multiple parts of the mechanism and I didn't catch where they came from. Does anyone know which parts these are and where/how I can securely reattach them to get the camera to function again?

Sony Handycam FDR-AX33: Need to remove plastic debris from card slot

Thu, 27 Mar 2025 10:02:11 -0700

After removing a card from the slot I noticed that some of the upper left corner of the card had broken off. That card will no longer go into the slot, but a complete card will. However when that card is inserted it needs to be wiggled in order to get the card to lock in place.

How do I disassemble the camera in order to be able to remove the debris that I suspect is causing the trouble?

hdr sr7: Sony HDR-SR7 LCD replacement

Sat, 15 Mar 2025 01:40:22 -0700

I learnt from ifixit how to - and was able to successfully - remove the LCD screen from my HDR-SR7. However, I have been unable to find a replacement LCD panel in any aftermarket (eBay, Ali Express, etc.).

I was able to find LCD screens for Sony HDR-HC1E HVR-A1C HC1E A1C DCR- HC42E HC43E HC46E HC48E HC90E HC96E on Ali Express. Those screens are the same size (2.7”) as HDR-SR7, but of a different resolution: HDR-SR7 LCD is 211K pixels, while the others are 123.2K pixels. The position of the cables are the same.

Question: what will happen if i replace the sony hdr-sr7 lcd screen with sony DCR-HC96E lcd screen?

Will the LCD screen display any picture at all?

Will the picture be the same, but only of a lower resolution?

Will the picture be cropped in or cropped out?
