The touch screen calibration on my Sony DCR-HC20 doesn't work? I keep touching the little 'x' and it keeps asking me to do it in all three places but never completes the calibration process and the screen menu buttons don't work.

The LCD / Touchscreen module is no longer available from Sony for this Model. However, I have a limited supply of them.

My name is Rick and I'm a professional repair technician with over 20 years in the business and have repaired many of these. I'm semi retired and work from home with little overhead so I can keep repair costs low. If you decide to have the camera repaired, please click HERE for a directory listing that suits your needs.

If this response has been of any help to you, please be sure and give a positive vote for me on FixYa.com.

The most likely cause for this is a damaged or defective flexible ribbon cable that connects the LCD to the camera body or the LCD module itself and can be repaired fairly inexpensively. However, it's not a user serviceable problem and will need to be repaired by a qualified service technician.

Hi there,
The problem you have on your Handycam is the flex cable FP-835.
You have to open the camera and change the cable.
It´s very easy to change.

how can i calibration my mini dv screen its model(dcr-hc26)?

I believe the flexible cable from the LCD screen to the main control was cut or lose because the action of open and close the LCD, in any case It require a qualifier Tech trained from Sony to replace this FC
DO NOT tampere it, You might damage the LCD screen

Take off the screws at the left side of the lcd screen, than open gently the case. Use a air can than spray for cleaning. The lcd screen is now back on duty...
