Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX100V: Power turns on and then off

Sat, 04 Apr 2026 00:09:00 -0700

So I put a new battery in and I turned it on, the power led comes on and I hear the chime but then it turns off. What could be the issue ?

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W55: Cybershot E91:01 Flash problem

Fri, 03 Apr 2026 00:41:24 -0700

I got this camera with a broken screen and a stuck lens. I replaced both with working parts and reassembled everything. The camera can take photos, but the flash doesn’t work.

When I half-press the shutter button, the flash indicator blinks for a while, then an E:91:01 error appears and the camera takes the photo without using the flash.

I replaced the entire flash assembly, but that didn’t fix the issue. I also tried replacing the main motherboard, the flex cable, and even the whole casing. I’ve practically replaced almost the entire camera, but the problem is still there.

I also tested it with another flash assembly that I know works. When I inserted the battery and turned the camera on, the flash fired once by itself on the date/time setup screen, without pressing the shutter. After that, it didn’t fire again.

Does anyone have any ideas what I should check next?

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-S2100: My old sony cybershot's LCD isn't working properly.

Thu, 26 Mar 2026 22:05:20 -0700

As you can see, it looks as if the brightness had been turned up super high (IDK what exactly this problem is called). I have confirmed it's just the screen. The photos are fine. I can still make out some stuff when I view the camera at an angle, with the bottom of the camera facing me.

I tried factory resetting it using the "Initialize" option but that didn't help. Also tried removing and re-seating the LCD ribbon cable. Any chance I can get away with not having to replace the screen?

Sony CyberShot DSC-RX100 III: Camera turns on by itself when the closed EVF gets pushed down

Thu, 26 Mar 2026 13:26:52 -0700

The camera is fully operational except it sometimes turns on and off by itself, causing the battery to drain in my bag as it continuously tries to open the lens.
I have found that it is usually caused when the closed EVF gets pressed, however it also turns on when it gets shuffled around too much even though the EVF is protected.

Sony Camera: Can I change internal settings battery on 7R3

Thu, 26 Mar 2026 06:14:08 -0700

My Sony 7R3 loses all settings (language, time, etc) if it is turned off even for a few seconds. I assume there is an internal battery to keep these settings that has died. Can I replace it myself, or do I have to send it into Sony? (if the latter, where is a link to do so?)

sony a6400: Sony A6400 No, power, no current draw on charging port. Fuse issue?

Mon, 23 Mar 2026 03:16:11 -0700

I recently replaced my a6400 sd card slot assembly and put everything back together. To my surprise the camera won't turn on. Checked and tested the battery on other units and is fine with almost full charge. Tested charging directly on the camera micro usb port and noticed it has no current draw as in it was like disconnected. Now i need to at least find the fuse to test if it was blown. I can't remember sagging any components and i was really careful doing the disassembly process. Please, i really need help. Thank you so much in advance.

Sony A6100 (ILCE6100): How to remove the plastic viewfinder cover on my Sony a6100

Sat, 14 Mar 2026 15:50:19 -0700

I recently bought a Sony a6100 off eBay and when I received it I noticed the glass shield on the electronic viewfinder was broken. I talked to the seller and it seems it might have broken during transit. I was able to find a piece of replacement glass online, but to install it I will need to remove the plastic viewfinder cover. I believe I have the right equipment, but I need some guidance on how to install it to prevent any possible mistakes. I’ve attached a photo of what exactly it is I’m looking to remove. Thank you.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H200: DSC H200 image partially obstructed

Sat, 07 Mar 2026 17:47:42 -0700

Hi,

When I turn on my DSC H200 I get the "Turn the camera off and on" message. I can get past this by pressing the "DISP" button twice and then zooming in slightly. Once the DISP menu disappears I can operate the camera as normal EXCEPT there is a black crescent on the right hand edge of the image which reduces as I zoom in further, and disappears at around 3 to 4 times zoom (image attached)

It looks like it might be something askew inside the lens. This camera was purchased new and has had very little use (due to this issue). It has never been dropped and is stored in the original packaging

Can anyone shed some light on this issue, or can anyone please advise how to dismantle the lens for inspection?

Thanks in advance,

Rod
