Hello,
I've had my ag-dvc30 for about 4 years now and just recently am I having problems with capturing video. Both of my pc's do not recognize the device. I have also tried four different DV/firewire cables. I am sure it is not the computers or the cables. I am also sure that all DV cables were used properly with this camcorder (never inserted upside down as I read in one of your responses). I am starting to wonder if the camcorder is malfunctioning on me.
- Thanks for your help!!!
It is possible that you have a faulty firewire port or cable that is sending electricity through one of the pins that is not designed to handle it. If one of the six pins at one end of a cable is bent, for example, it can electrocute whatever is at the other end.
It's been a while now - did you ever get this problem solved?
This is usually caused by an oxidized, misaligned or defective Audio/Video drum. You can try running a cleaning tape through the camera. If this does not solve the problem the camera will need to be serviced by a qualified service 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 cost low. If you decide to have the camera repaired, please click HERE for a directory listing that suits your needs.
