Sony CCD-TR5 blue video

Anyone out there run across this:

while using a Sony CCD-TR5 the video output (i was transferring super-8 movies to computer) the video faded to blue. The camera no longer records, however older video will play back.

I understand that there may be a problem with caps in this unit.

Anyone have any experience?

Narrow it down to a specific cap?

I no longer have all my test gear so it makes troubleshooting somewhat of a chore.

Thanks Ken

I am not sure what you mean by narrow it down to a specific cap as there will be so many bad and marginal surface mount capacitors that standard ESR meter, heat up one leg and smell for the fishy electrolyte, and a good visual will find virtually all of the bad ones.

Is there a specific board I should look on?

A basic once over revealed no obvious signs of damage, but of course that doesn't mean much.

I will look it over again more closely for an obviously damaged cap (or two or three).

Most of my test gear went bye-bye years ago. As I don't do electronics repair anymore, I do have a digital multi-meter, but don't think that will be much help. So I will have to rely on visual observation for now.

Don't forget about your olfactory senses as well along with a little heat from a soldering iron tip.
