Sony CCD-TRV66 Repair?

Question

The head on my ccd-trv66 camcorder has worn out. I need to replace it. However, apparently there aren't any shops here in london who sell spare parts, and one lady I spoke to didn't even know what a head was! There was a product called camcroder Sensor/Holder.....is there any chance that this might be a head?? Unfortunately, there weren't any pictures available.

Thanks.

Answer 1

You probably have to send it in to Sony to have it repaired. Check the Sony support site for your camera model for further instructions. You may find that buying a new camera will be viable option versus the cost of repair. Good luck!!

Answer 2

No no no, a head is a head (well, you replace the whole drum), not a sensor/holder. You need to call Sony. And yes, it might cost more than a new camera.

Have you tried using a cleaning tape?
