I get a blue screen when I press PLAY, and the audio is distorted.
I had this problem last night but the audio was more clear, so whatever this problem is, it's getting worse.
I put a Head Cleaning Tape in last night, and that solved the issue for a little bit..... but today I'm back to the same problem. The Head Cleaning Tape isn't fixing it this time.
Is it possible that the Head Cleaning Tape needs to be replaced?

- Thanks. I actually used the Head Cleaner Tape a little more and got it working again. I think this is just a temporary fix though, and I'll look into getting it cleaned.
I'm not sure where I could take it though?

- Helllo,
Where can I take a 8mm Handycam for professional repairs? Being such an old camera, is it common to find somewhere locally?
And about how much does it usually cost, ballpark?
The heads are clogged or the alignment is out. In either case, a professional cleaning and alignment should be done. This should not require any parts, just labor. Bring this to a shop as specialized equipment and tapes are required for proper alignment.
