Hi,

My teenager came up showing his Sony camcorder with the cassette stuck
halfways in/out. The LCD screen displays no error code, just 'Re-attach
the power source'. I have done that and the battery is also fully charged.

Anyone here having comments or tips on how to proceed to unhook the
stuck cassette mecanism ...?

Thanks in advance

Nice thing about some manufactures, they actually put arrows on
the "Take these out" screws so you don't end up unscrewing
something and hearing the "clink of death" as a blind nut falls
off inside somewhere.

Usually sony is so interested in shaving the last 100th of a penny of
the final cost, that they'll use a piece of tape instead of screws
even if it reduces the lifespan to 5%, as long as it is a likely to be
at least a day over the warranty.

everybody does that these days. It's possible sony just just ahead of the
curve when it came to shoddy stuff.

I don't recall any other brand of television that required a 2x4 to hold
the cabinet up and from collapsing under it's own weight with the rear
cover revmoved.
