The Dew sensor is an electronic component deep within the tape mechanism and is not accessable without completely disassembling the camera. This job is better left to a committed technician.

My name is Rick and I'm a professional repair technician with over 20 years in the business and have repaired many of these. I'm semi retired and work from home with little overhead so I can keep repair costs low. If you decide to have the camera repaired, please click HERE for a directory listing that suits your needs.

I have the age old C2100 Moisture issue, and while everyone is saying bang it aboout I know it is the dew sensor is probably clogged, does anyone know where the moisture sensor is on the Sony TR517...

The Dew sensor is located deep within the cameras tape mechanism and will require major disassembly to repair.

Failure of the sensor is usually due to degradation of the carbon film used in its construction.

This can be repaired fairly inexpensively. However, it's not a user serviceable problem and will need to be repaired by a qualified service technician.

Battery doesnot work

Charge it for a full 16 hours before using it. If it still doesn't work, get it replaced. If that doesn't fix the issue, you have either a charger or camera problem.

How can I avoid camera moisture condensation on my Sony a1e camera, it keeps saying turn off for one hour or eject tape and is doing this constantly.

Camera gives Moisture error sign if it really have moisture condensation inside or its moisture sensor itself got defective.

if moisture is inside, blow hot air in camera mechanism for 5-6 minutes by hair dryer (not so closed with mechanism) and check / test.

If problem still exist it means moisture sensor is defective and i know its Sony high-end model camera and know how to fix it yet I would recommend to take camera to Sony Service center for proper repair.
