I was having playback issues on my Sony TRV-310, so I took it apart by following your instructions, unplugged all the cables that I could find, cleaned the connections with rubbing alcohol, and put it all back together again, and viola the playback works great, and I can now digitize all my old home videos. Cheers for making these videos!!!
Oh you are my hero! I have a DVR-trv103 that wouldn’t play. I followed your instructions and reset all the connectors. Then the eject function wouldn’t work which was working previously before I dismantled it. I disassembled it again and one of the connectors I didn’t reseat correctly. Once I fixed that it allllllll works. Of course I have about fifteen leftover screws and some brackets I couldn’t get reassembled but it works and I can now download digital copies of my 80+ hours of priceless video. THANK YOu!
Hey Dave, I’m not sure if you’re ever gonna read this but I have the same exact camera but my problem with it is that there isn’t any color as if it looks like it’s just black n white and my other problem is there is no audio. What should I do? Is it possible to send it to you to see if it you can fix it for me?
hey man! super rad video. I took it to a place to get cleaned, he didn't do the job...I have the same problem you fixed in this video. The playback worked for bout 5-10 minutes total after getting it from him, then it quit out again. I'm a bit of a tinker man myself, followed u step by step, but no dice. I'm in Chicago, can I send my TRV308 out to ya? Please let me know! I'm overly sure you're the guy for the job. Thanks
Hi I have a question so I have a canon es870 8mm camcorder that works but the play back works fine The first few minutes of powering it up but after it starts to get some static and plays in black and white and loses the sound do you have any idea what is wrong with it.
Hi nice simple fix on this model, Ive learned how to fix many different things from you. I have a sony ev-c400e player which has a problem. When playing the tape it will play for a second or two crystal clear then become distorted and the audio will distort too and sort of pulse fast. It's not the takeup spool and I've tried a cleaning tape twice. Any ideas / experience with this model?
Can I send my camera to you to repair? Im getting the same blue screen while playing problem. It’s spinning like it’s trying to play, but no audio or visuals show up. I don’t trust myself to take it apart and repair it, especially because I’m loaning it from a family member 😅
Hey man I’m having a problem with my Sony handycam vision Hi8 and I was wondering if people send you they’re cameras and you fix them and send them back so if you do I was wondering how to send you it that way you can help fix the problem, also one of my tapes released a string and I’m trying to also fix that 😮please inform me as soon as you can❤😅
Mine was one of those connectors like he showed us how to reseat. It had come loose. As soon as I reseated it bingo! It was the narrow one on the far left as you have it right aide up.
I see you’re in Canada. I’m in Ontario. I have a digitizing business and am running into the same issues with old cameras. I have searched for someone to repair and maintain my equipment near me, but have not had any luck. Resorting to help from you tube and people like you. Do you have an email that I can ask you some questions through? Thanks. 😊

Leaky rotton capacitors.

Hello, I have a question. I have this exact camera and night vision isn’t working, I turn it on and nothing happens.
It's mechanically switched so if nothing happens then I would guess the plastic linkage is broken. Will need to open up and inspect.
how get in contact with you so i can ship my camera to you? i also have a microphone problem. i just hear static noises.
@@12voltvids
Check if the night vision is turned on from the menu!
@@jiiko.archives Yes i have checked that already, sadly that wasnt the problem
back of the nail trick works!!! I FUCKING LOVE YOU!
How do I get in contact with you so I can get my handycam fixed by you ?
My email is under the about tab.
Can’t seem to find do you mind sharing it to me on here please?
@@12voltvids would you mind sharing your email address??

I can try. Not all of them can be saved.
My Camara is showing video but it is very distorted and in black n white. What should i do?
Leaky caps likely. Lost cause.
What kind of fluid do you use to clean the head
Cameras use a dry cleaner tape. They use a metal tape which won't dissolve with cleaner. Must be filed off with abrasive cleaner tape.
thank you teacher
from saudi arabia thank you!

Yes that's generally how it works. Just got 4 cameras this week. 2 are fixed and the other 2 go up next. I send them back when done.
Do you mind showing me how and where ?
What if the cassette eject doesn't want to work? What can I do?

After that came digital 8 I believe
Digital 8 was already out when this one was made.
Compared to this camera, I think mine VX1 3CCD has a better image
Plz fix my camer
