Question about Sony Handycam DCR-HC42 Mini DV Digital Camcorder

Lcd viewer is not functioning

During last one week, my camcorder started changing colour on the lcd display from white to green, blue, orange and finally display has lost and i am not able to see anything on lcd screen. Eventhough the camcorder is functioning properly it is very irritating without LCD display. i am not able to see anything on the lcd screen, but still i could blindly touch the screen and use the appropriate menu keys for stopping or playing/forward/rewind. What could be the problem on my sony HC 42 camcorder. Did anybody face this type of problem before. Please give me the solution. or any sony service center in hyderabad, india. waiting for reply srihari

Color on TV changes to black and white, then after awhile changes back

It is possible to be the box, and not your tv. A good way to test is to see if it does it when you are watching a dvd or another source. (game system, blue ray, ect) Hope this helps! Good luck!

My camcorder

If you are not getting good color picture then I would advise to perform white balance adjustments in service data with help of concern service manual.
This kind of adjustments required service data handling tools, reference color charts, proper and up to date service manual etc.
Please contact nearest Sony service center for proper fix.

Sony DCR-HC32 display problem

replace the flexwire asap, it's hard to fix and you need pro help to do it. flexwire has a possibility of shortcircuiting the unit, the reason your small viewer started to show problem. Here in the philippines i'm not replacing it with an exact replacement, instead i'm replacing it with the more strong wires or cables such as the one used in laptop computers, still, you need profix to do it.
