Answer 1

More than it's worth.

The price to investigate the fault is usually £70ish but knocked off the final repair invoice.

Parts are very expensive (because no-one wants them)

The link would allow you to buy a replacement (new) foro just 90 quid!

Answer 2

If you did not open the cameras LCD, then it may be the CCD imaging device in the lens.

IF:

1) the camera can play back videos, and you can see it

2) you get a black or blue screen on the LCD in record

Then your CCD is faulty and needs to go back to Sony, possibly for a recall of bad CCD chips, its a common thing for the HC line

If you opened the camera and tore the ribbon cable, then you need to find a donor camera maybe on ebay to fix it.
