Question about Sony Handycam DCR-DVD201 DVD Camcorder

Sony dvd camcorder DCR-DVD201E Lid not closing

Spent a day with the kids at Leggoland Windsor UK, the cam corder worked fine all day, I was able to change the DVD when the first one got filled, but then all of a sudden when I tried to finalise a disk the Lid would not close, no LED lighting up either, worked fine untill then. Exercising the open button does bring the laser to the centre but the lid locking mechansim stays in open position with the "close lid icon" flashing on the screen. Normally when lid is closed the lock secure the lid, but not now. Does any one have any service information please. Any help will be greatfully received. Thanks

It was in fact the flimsy metal bracket that secures the lid which had distorted over months of use.
This has now been repaired and made stronger by use of araldite glue. So far working OK .
Thank you "magic seadog" for your advice.

Most often, in this case, the locking relay has failed. Sony has an improved part for this. It requires a Sony qualified servicer. I have replaced them before. Good luck, magic seadog

recording with helmet cam I have a sony dvd 210E and if i connect the lanc, i can use this cam for a helmet cam ( it has AV-in enabled). However if i press STOP button from the lanc and stop the cam from recording the helmetcam, it goes directly to the last clip i made. (play mode) It simply means that re-starting the cam will not work, because cam is in view / play mode. I use the cam in my backpack, so it is not handy to reach record buttons, and then press the button to the setup. Becaue then it is able to use the lanc again. Question: Is there a work around for this? The lanc is the number 16 Would be great if i can use this cam as i had planned..... Cheers Smoker ( from amsterdam)
