A pinging sound whenever i try to record something or rewind the cassette

Whenever i turn on my handycam to record anything or to rewind the cassette to see what is previously recorded, the handycam starts making a consistent pinging sound and shows a blinking eject icon. Neither can i record anything, nor can i see what i want to. I have tried replacing the cassette but even that was futile. Please suggest me a solution

It sounds like there's a problem with the tape loading mechanism. The first thing you should try is seeing if the camcorder will allow you to run a head cleaner through it (probably not the problem, but something everyone should do regularly, but most people don't). If that's not the issue, then it's probably something that you can't fix yourself. You should have information in the box that tells you where to send it to for repair. Good Luck.

VCR ejecting my cassettes
Try removing the top cover & have a look to see what happens when you put the tape in & press play/rewind etc. Is the take up spool (right hand spool) turning properly or is there slack tape not being taken into the cassette? Are the heads spinning ? I think your problem is more likely to do with the tape not travelling smoothly around the tape path. Possibly the clutch gears need cleaned or the soft brakes may not be dis-engaging properly.

Or.. the servochip inside need to be resoldered. You can check this put a cassette in the loader and while you push the playbutton give it a good bump on f.e. the table, when it's working you have a faulty on the mainboard

Sony TRV510-playback, audio choppy, image isn't clear
I was having the exact same problems, and I read a post on this website somewhere recommending that I just record a few seconds of video on a blank portion of tape and then the camera should start playing video normally again.

I tried it, and IT WORKED!!

Playback static
Your video heads are probably dirty. I have the same problem with mine too. If you buy a 8mm video cassette cleaner, it should work. Unless there is some other problem.

My handycam will record sound but no image Hey folks, A friend has given me his old Sony Handycam DCR-TRV33, telling me it ''does not work''. Fortunately everything seems to work okay but when i try and record new footage, only the sound comes through and i get only a black image as footage. I remember trying to find solutions online a while back and saw on an old forum that it might be the sensor that fell out of alignment with the lens (please correct me if i'm wrong). Would it be worth the shot to try and get it repaired nowadays? I just do not want to pay too much as i could just buy another secondhand handycam instead.
