The videos were erased and I want to restore them
I get lots of questions on this major problem, your camera is of the dangeours Hard-Drive type that people soon find are not the best media to capture movies on, as yes they easily are lost but you will have no chance of getting them back sadly because un-like a Hard Drive on a PC where you can load un-delete on and try (not often works) on those cameras you cannot put un-delete on it anyway, sorry buy the better tape camera models if you prefer to not endanger your films.

It's probably permanently deleted but try plugging it into your computer and accessing the hard drive. You might see files in there that look like they are in a deleted state but not yet actually deleted because they haven't been overwritten yet. The file names might start with characters like $ or # or other characters besides numbers/letters.

What is the Sony part No. of the flexible ribbon
You can mention the model of the set -- DCR-SR42 to get the strip connection as it is only available from Sony.
Equivalent one if availabe may not last as the original ....but this is a manufacturing fault of Sony to design the strip that moves through the mechanism and fails often.
