Hi,



My old SONY Video 8 CCD-TR75E seems to be at the end of its life, after = all, it gave me 15 years of wonderful movies and colors!=20 However, if possible, I'd like to repair it, purely because I am = nostalgic!



The problem



If I switch the camcorder on, I see the monitor this way:


1/3 (on the right side) white, then a black vertical stripe, remaining =
2/3 grey.

If I put it on REC. on the grey side I can barely see what I frame, but = completely distorted.



What do you think?



Thank you Alex



Probably bad caps.

Best way to check this is to heat up the unit carefully, if the symptoms get worse then chances are there are bad caps. Unfortunately the only permanent cure is to change them all.

Sorry, what do you exactly mean with cap?

He means capacitors. There are a lot and they are surface mount (SMT) and a real pain in the butt to replace (read: expensive labour time). Probably best to replace the camera. The technology has come a long way since then.
