Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX20V: Why is my camera making a strange noise?

Wed, 03 Dec 2025 05:33:12 -0700

Hi, when I power on my camera and the lens comes out it imediately starts to make a strange humming vibrating noise. The camera still works fine, but the noise is killing me.

Looks like the auto focus or the stabilizer is constantly adjusting. Is there a solution for this or should I start looking for a new one?

Thanks

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX30V: Camera won't stay on, has good battery but keeps cycling on and off

Tue, 24 Sep 2024 11:04:11 -0700

Just started in Europe, worked fine before I left, was in carry-on, no damage to camera but it now won't stay on, it just cycles on and off. It doesn't show the normal screen, no battery level, etc, just some basic stuff for a second then goes black but the lens stays out for a few seconds, then quickly retracts and opens again on it's own. Help!

After a recent snowstorm, I noticed that I have a blue spot that appears on all of my photos. I cleaned the outer lens. I suspect that there is moisture or dirt on the inside of the lens. Can this be repaired?

I love this camera!!! Robin

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX9V: location/ replacement of internal Li ION battery

Tue, 15 Apr 2025 02:59:01 -0700

My question is similar to others for different models of the Sony Cyber-Shot camera

the date/time need to be re inputted each time the main battery is removed/replaced.

I wish to be aware of the exact location of the battery as :after checking out the manual for different models the design is different .

making the disassembly and repair troublesome .

I have used your site for many repairs of apple phones and ipods but now I am in different territory.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX80 Repair: Electronic Viewfinder stuck down

Fri, 24 Jan 2025 15:37:16 -0700

My EVF won't pop up. I move the little latch button and the EVF still feels latched and does not release from the body. I have found NOTHING online about this problem! The big repair shops want $200 just to put a Cybershot on their bench, which doesn't seem appropriate for a hopefully simple mechanical problem on a used camera now worth about $300.

I love my DSC-HX80 and don't want to replace it. Except for the EVF pop-up problem it works perfectly. If I don't hear from anyone on this thread who has solved the problem, I guess I'll open it up and see what's going on with the latch. The iFixIt site has a step by step explanation of opening up the camera to REPLACE the EVF, which should help.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX90V: Dark spots on my photos

Sun, 07 Apr 2019 12:44:53 -0700

Recently I started seeing two dark spots, one each side of just above thecenter of my photos - spots visible when the background is light-colored (eg, the sky). Not sure what component of the camera is causing this problem, but I’ve only had the camera for 18 months and would like to fix it.
