Don't know the solution....but am having the same exact problem! LCD screen just showing static-like jumpy lines. Must be a wire connection I guess but when put in docking station and turned on, computer still doesn't see it as can't access the menu on lcd screen -- can't see it! Help! Just, hopefully, recorded my 19 mth old son's first time in the snow!
I have the same problem with my dcra-c171 but am able to download the images from the camcorder. The lcd menus are still operative but I just see the gray static.
Here's what I do:
1) connect camcorder to your computer like usual on mine it's turn both on, connect usb and a message pops up on the camcorder display, which I can't read now.
2) touch lcd screen where the option for computer is supposed to be (on mine it's the upper left quadrant but check your manual if they show a sample menu)
3) computer connects to the camcorder and you can download as usual
I'll be downloading everything and trying a hard reset unless I can find anything else out. I'm afraid the lcd is just gone. How old is yours? mine is 2 yrs old but gets a lot of use.
