This is a common failure in this model and unfortunately will not be resolved without a qualified servicer. The error code indicates a message for lack of reel motion. Most often it is an electronic connection problem and not an actual reel problem.
Good luck,

If camcorder shows old recorded tapes picture with correct colors in LCD but does not show live view in camera mode to record new movie then its ccd imager chip failure.
And if camcoder shows live view and old recorded tapes in its eye piece view finder but does not show any thing in LCD the its problem of broekn/ cracked flexible wire between lcd board and main board of camcorder.
Let me know your finding with bit detail to provide you solution/ helpful info.
The batteries are covered under warranty for three years. Sony batteries are know for not keeping a good charge after a few years.
If there not holding a charge, they wouldn't appear on the LCD screen at all. I the AC power is working fine, then that probably isn't the source for not getting a charge.
You could try lightly scraping the contacts on the battery and see if that makes a difference and recharge them.
This is a common problem. The code indicates that the sensor for the supply reel has indicated lack of motion. If you have a cleaning tape, try it first because if the head drum hesitates, reel error codes often appear. If this doesn't help you are in for a service situation. There are other electronic failures that can cause false codes and operations in many cases. These usually involve cable connection failure. You still need a qualified servicer.

the capstan motor of your camera is stuck up....check the capstan motor is there is some debris insert at the sensor...if nothing you find check also the bushing at the upper part of the motor....
check the capstan motor if it is stuck up... find if there some debris inserted at the sensor...if nothing you find check also the bushing in the upper part of the motor
( c : cassette : 30 capstan fg ) ; your capstan
motor is stalling - try ( other brand ) new
tapes and gently ! swaying camera from side
while loading - if loads , your tape mechanism
is dirty or is going out of alignment ;
- -
if the camera will not unload tape ? the
capstan motor may be failing ( connector is
loose , corroded ) or - it is jammed and it
needs . . . disassembly . . . to complete
checking .
