The quickest way to dismantle the camcorder is to hit it with a hammer! nah, just joking ... email support at the sony website and they will send you instructions how to take the chasis apart etc..

Hi no need to disassemble the device all you need is long thin tweezers take the battry out look inside the socket (with light) and find the silver\gold connection battry tabs with the tweezers elevate the tabs for better connection on the lid is a spring like (push the battry in place) elevate it too if this wont work buy a new battry before taking apart the device good luck

SOURCE: SONY CAMCORDER DCR-TRV19 DOESN'T WORK ON WINDOWS

The Windows 7 Operating System is not compatible with the USB Streaming feature of the Camcorder.

You can transfer the videos to the Windows 7 Computer using an i.LINK (Firewire) Cable.

You can use the Windows Movie Maker Software to transfer the videos from the Camcorder.

Please follow the steps mentioned in the below link to transfer the videos from the Camcorder to the Computer

SOURCE: My Sony DCR-pc55e keeps flashing E:61:11 and the

E:61:11 is an error with the lens. The only thing that you can try to do yourself is to try bumping the front of your camcorder and around the lens area with the palm of your hand. There are lots of people online saying that this worked for them. You might try this first with your camcorder off. If the problem is not fixed when you power on your camcorder, try it again while powered up. Otherwise, your camcorder will need to be repaired by an experienced technician.

Hope this helps you.
