Sony camcorder only showing blue screen and not registering the tape

Hi there. the other morning my sony handycam (model DCR-HC30E) was working fine but then later on in the day it just did something funny. when we go to playback the tape it just has a blue screen and doesnt show any digits in the top corner as to say how far in the tape you are. it just has --/--/-- . you can hear it rewinding but still no digits come up and it wont show you anything on that tape. so confusing and frustrating! i hope you can help?

Hmm. I'm not exactly sure on your model, but you would either use a firewire port or USB port to make the capture. I'm more than sure since it is a mini dv camera that you would have a fire port/Ieee1394 Connect.

Blue screen on lcd screen

The playback head is probably dirty and cannot show the picture - the screen is blue. Run a blank tape in the tape drive and execute a record all the way through the tape. Then play back a pre-recorded tape to verify it plays back ok.

It is possible that your CCD has gone wrong. Best thing is to take it to a Sony Repair Centre, and if it is that it will be repaired for free, even if the warrenty has expired.
