My Video camera has suddenly stopped working propley, it seems to record alright accept it wont play back the recorded videos correctly, some times it works with really bad playback, but usually plays back with a black screen(the audio can be heard). Im just wondering wold anyway but familiar with this type of problem?

any help would be appreciated. Would a Mini dv cleaning tape help my problem?


thanks.

It could be anything from dirty video heads, to the drum and transport being out of alignment. There are an awful lot of parts in the camera that have to be lined up just perfect in order to record and playback your memories. Try the cleaning tape, but if the camera is over two years old, I would suggest taking it to a local shop that can check it out. Assuming everything is in good shape, it's due for a CLA, or cleaning, lubing and alignment.

thanks for your help micheal.

I guess i cant avoid the 95$ inspection fee and the occuring costs after that.


cheers.
