My camera won't take a disc at all. It acts like a gate is shut. The only way to get a disc in is to hold the eject button and slide it in, then I get an error message "disk error" C:13:01. I've tried resetting the camera by taking the batteries out and holding the power button for 15 seconds, still it won't take a disc. When I go to eject the disc it isn't pushing it out I have to hold the camera so the disc can slide out, and it does, it isn't stuck in anyway. Any suggestions?
It's an old camera and with age things tend to dry out and get stuck. All you have is a sticking disk transport. Pull the back off the camera to get to the disk drive and operate it to see how it works and using a tiny amount of desintered grease apply it too the actual drive shaft and the slides which the carriage slides along. Don't use oil, it goes everywhere. Operate the disk again and make sure it's going to eject and put it back together. Easy, good for another 8 years. Oh and clean the dust and muck out as well. A common problem is a label falling off a disk which gums up the works too. BMW

Hi NanaR, i suggest a try with new disc,problem still remain, i think there is a mechanical problem with disc holder. I suppose you have the facility to use memory stick so why you use the disc just use the memory stick. It is better for you. to fix the problem you have to go to sony shop.. good luck...

) icons on it.
Shut down the computer and start up whilst holding down the mouse button. This may take some time, but keep your finger on the mouse button right up until the disc comes out or the log-in screen has appeared. If you have Toast Titanium installed on your computer, choose EJECT DISC from the menubar. Sometimes you can successfully use the eject disc button in iTunes even if the disc is not visible to the Finder Open Disk Utility and choose the disc you wish to eject in the left-hand pane, then click on the Eject button. Some Macintoshes have a paperclip hole that you can insert a straightened paperclip into, manually triggering the eject mechanism. Open Terminal and type "drutil tray eject" to eject the disc/tray, and "drutil tray close" to close the tray. Restart the computer while holding down Command-Option-O-F, to enter the Open Firmware prompt. Type "eject cd" without the quotes, and press return. The disk ought to eject. To start into OS X, type "mac-boot" without the quotes. Press return, and the computer will continue with the startup. (This will not work on an Intel Mac. There is no Open Firmware on Intel Macs. ) If your computer has an eject button on the keyboard, restart the computer holding down the Option key. When the startup disk selection screen appears, let go of the option key and press the keyboard's eject button. 85 views
