Issue with a SONY error e:61:10 Solved

Question

Hello
I have had the Sony P52 digital camera for several years, a very practical and efficient device; but it fell out of my pocket a few months ago and since then it displays the quite classic error according to what I have noticed while surfing the net: the error e:61:10! This means that this code appears on startup with a long beep, after a long black screen! This error concerns the optical zoom. The digital zoom still works.
I went to the store, but they told me that the repair cost was very high, so I bought a more efficient one, but I would like to try to repair the old one because it was very practical and small for me.

From what I have read on English forums, after a rough translation into French on Voilà, those who had this problem (which is a large number) have tapped the bottom left of the device and it started working again without error.
I wanted to know if this has ever happened to you and what you did, if you managed to repair it and what you would advise me since I have nothing to lose with this one
thank you

Configuration: sony p52

Thank you

Same problem, same solution: a sharp tap with the palm while the camcorder is on (HDR CX 520), then remove and reinsert the battery and it works.
In fact, I wasn't surprised; that's how I recalibrate the hard drive of my Archos when it freezes...
As a consequence, be careful with drops; the disks have become fragile when it gets to that point...

yvanne · Answer

Good evening,I have a DSC T1 and I've been getting the error message E 61:10 for about ten days. So, I gave it a few slaps, to put it mildly, and well: IT WORKS!!! Give it one on the left and one on the right: it won't hurt it... Thank you anyway for this valuable information.Best regards,

Itykita · Answer

Thank you
I have a Sony P50 and for 2 years the error E61:10 has been appearing; obviously, the repair was more expensive than buying a new one.
Well, thanks to you, I now have 2 working cameras.
You really have to hit it hard, but it's perfect, no more errors and the image is clear again.

celud · Answer

Incredible!!
My camera has been showing the same error message for a few months after a fall, and tonight for New Year's Eve I attempt a last-ditch rescue by following your method: I give a sharp tap on the lower left corner: MIRACLE!!!! It's working normally again!!
I'm super happy! Thank you very much for the tip.

Happy New Year!

It works with a 2.1 Cyber-shot that I was about to throw in the trash.
Don’t hesitate to tap left or right several times (in your hands, not on the ground or with a hammer...) to make the error signal disappear and get the photos clear again.
Long live the forums!

bermamar · Answer

Great, I've never seen a pipe like this, it works while they were asking for 3 weeks of downtime at Fnac!!! Thank you so much.

Chloé · Answer

It's really the BEST, I can't believe it actually works! I'm on vacation and I was quite troubled, luckily you're here! Thanks a lot again!

Blandine · Answer

Here was a message of this kind on my device too, except mine was: E:61:00! It's thanks to your message that I was able to recover it :) I gave it two hits with the palm of my hand on the bottom left corner!! After the first hit, the message no longer appeared but it was still blurry, so I gave it another hit (not too hard either) and it went back to normal
Thank you

PS: the two hits must be given while the device is turned off!!

happyhappy · Answer

It also works with a Sony P71. Amazing!!! Thank you!!! The side to tap is on the opposite side of the memory card.

dtrung1 · Answer

Hello, Huge, I'm just thinking about how forceful it is to hit it, and just 2 or 3 little taps to start, it works again! Magic, thank you.

weird28 · Answer

I'm stoked, I've got a Sony Cybershot 5.1 dsc-w1, I had it for 6 months when it showed the error message E:61:00 because it fell on the ground.
Same pattern, the seller told me it would cost more to repair than to buy a new one. It’s been sitting at the back of a closet for a year, and I had a flash to check here since I always find a solution!!! Magic, two taps on the bottom of the device, on the opposite side of the memory card, and it's working like new!!!!!

Thanks everyone!!!!!!!!

maya · Answer

Hello, Yes!!! It's working again, I was starting to lose hope of getting that damn thing to work, but it's perfect! Long live the internet!! I couldn't believe it.

lolo77 · Answer

Hello,
excellent, thank you for all this info.....the error is gone. But there is a small issue remaining, my zoom is stuck, I can only open very little or close very little, not like before, so if someone has this last solution, that would be excellent
thank you

mygalesse · Answer

My mother has a Cyber-shot DSC W1 and two days ago she wanted to take a photo but it was blurry, then the zoom got stuck and wouldn’t close anymore. I thought I would have to throw the camera away (which I had given her a year and a half ago!) and miracle, I just gave it two taps and it works again.. I hope it lasts!!
Thanks for the trick!!

Hello  I have a .mov sequence that I can't transfer to another hard drive. When I try to copy and paste, it gives me the error message:    The operation couldn't be completed: an unexpected error occurred  (error code 0)   Mac

Sinonsss · Answer

Hello everyone Thanks for the simple and original tip ;-) I still had to insist "heavily", but after a good twenty times it works again!! But now I have a memory card issue, I think with one of the memory sticks, it shows me the error c:13:01... Thanks again, Happy New Year @everyone

Stéph · Answer

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I have the same problem. I thought it was due to a grain of sand on the lens, but no... Sometimes you have to hit it hard for it to work. I did it on the edge of a wooden chair!

poopoun · Answer

thank you it's cool a big hit to the face and it goes on

mpsysteme · Answer

Great job with the trick!   A little hit on the lower opposite side of the memory card on the desk mat and it's back to work even though I had tried everything before...

Hello everyone,  I'm new here, and I'll skip the introduction for now, I apologize, but I'm really frustrated right now. I bought a DSCP52 the day it came out and now I'm getting the error 61:10 today :( I've seen the thing about tapping on the bottom corner, but it just wrecks my hands and doesn't work. Do I have to remove the batteries every time? Thanks, friends.

gtel · Answer

Good evening,  I had the same issue with a Sony D-W1 (first, it couldn’t focus with autofocus, then the zoom stopped working and I couldn’t retract the lens when turning it off). After a good thirty taps with a rubber mallet (before I was ready to throw it away), everything started working again: focusing, zooming, and then after a few more taps, macro focus!!! I hope the "repair" will hold! In any case, thanks to the brilliant discoverer of this miracle treatment.  gtel

polycarpe · Answer

Yes, thank you really for this effective remedy. It's quite astonishing: on my left, 200g of miniaturized high technology; on my right, a rudimentary hammer, a prehistoric invention tool. Wham, a hit in the face, and off we go! Talk about a clash of cultures!! It reminds me of the song by Boris Vian:  > A good slap in the face > A good kick in the rear > A punch on the jaw > That'll give you a second youth  Thank you!

I say bravo and thank you... Magical... I thought you were crazy with your 2 hits to the left, one to the right, and no holds barred.... I hit two or three times on each side, and it went back to being better than ever... However, you'll need to add that to the user manual... I love fixing digital devices Good luck to the next repairers, it's a blast

ananta · Answer

I just retrieved a Sony DSC-M1 that a friend wanted to throw away due to the infamous "E:61:10" error... I ruined the palm of my left hand (I'm right-handed!) by beating on the lower left corner! In fact, I ended up hitting the upper right corner (camera closed and opposite the memory card)... and it works like a charm!!! Thanks!... uh... everyone!!!... I have a nearly new (barely used!) and free camera!

jc63 · Answer

Hello,  I just dropped my Sony Cybershot camera and the zoom is stuck in the open position. When I force the zoom closed by hand, the message E:61:00 appears. I consulted this forum and I tried tapping the bottom left of the device with my hand, tapping it on the table, tapping it on the tiles... nothing works... I tried everything and I dropped it from my height of about 1.70 m onto the left side of the device and then the miracle happened: the camera works again like before, it’s unbelievable...  Thank you for this amazing idea!!!!!!!!!!

bob 91 · Answer

Hello everyone and happy new year to you all. To start off well, my DSC T3 has been showing the same error E 61:10 for 6 months, I've been struggling, but like in "incredible but true," the little pie-in-the-face technique: IT WORKS, thank you all. For your information, my flash flashed; it didn't fall, but it did receive some jolts while riding my motorcycle. See you soon and all my best wishes.

Rootamanoumea · Answer

Hello everyone. I've had the internet for a short time and for a year now, my camcorder has been "bugging" with this error E:61:10. I was ready to throw it in the trash because the repair was excessive, even outrageous. A big thank you to the forums, THANK YOU everyone.

Julien · Answer

I CONFIRM IT WORKS!! After being foolish and jumping a few meters with my cybershot in my pocket, it refused to take a clear photo, and it's fixed!! Thank you very much.

Olivier · Answer

For me, it worked for 2 minutes and after trying again everything was blurry on the image and since then nothing works even though it was still functioning with the message.  Conclusion: to remove the error message, I ruined the device :-((((  Straight to the trash and I’m really upset.

jejer · Answer

same message after typing it in every way, by hand against the tiles and still the same, and jc 63's technique is great, at a height of 1.50m it works really well thanks guys, the only problem is that we had already bought some

loulou · Answer

Hello everyone, for my Sony DSC77 I've tapped on all corners but the 61:10 message keeps blinking. Please let me locate the exact position, I've heard it's the lower left corner, is it facing the screen or the lens? Thanks in advance.

Leo · Answer

Hi everyone, for a Sony HVR FX1E there are two solutions less daunting than banging on your gear (essential for me). 1st solution: the reset works every time, but sometimes during a full shooting day redoing your camera setup can be a bit irritating...  2nd solution: Much quicker but only works 80% of the time, turn off your camcorder, point the lens down or up, turn the camcorder back on...  For those who are familiar with this problem, you will notice the particular sound that the camcorder makes at startup. Now try the experiment, miracle the sound and the problem disappear.  The focus is an action, it's a mechanism we activate, sometimes a "micro gear" can be misaligned and gravity can help us compensate for a possible manufacturing defect or damage caused by an impact (my case).  Happy shooting everyone!!!

gigi · Answer

I have a dvd404e and .... it's not working   fuckkkkkkkk

raymond · Answer

almost all the posts on this topic are fake...  Sony paid a company to create them, so all the customers who have the issue hit their broken device, then end up breaking it for good  this malfunction is not fixable by hitting it, so don’t fall for it again

miraculeuse · Answer

Waaaw *__* Thank you very much, at first I was starting to get angry, I was typing like crazy... Then I hit my chair, a big bang and BAMMMM *__* It's working again.

max · Answer

Really impressive. As for me, I hit it like crazy and nothing at all. I thought to myself: either it gets fixed, or it goes in the trash. I eventually let it drop twice from my own height: 1.70m. Well, I’m amazed. The device that had been sitting for 3 years is working again... It will be perfect as a first device for the kids.

Laurie · Answer

It worked for me too! 2-3 taps on the bottom left, and the error symbol is gone. I can film with my camera again, phew! A big thank you to the one who found the solution :D

luham · Answer

Hello;  Having owned a HDR CX550 VE camcorder since its release in 2010, I've never had any issues with it despite extensive use. Last year it had a small fall with no major consequences except for the tapped hole for attaching a tripod. The optical part is protected by a sunshade, which is better than nothing.  Anyway, this week when I turned on the camera, I got a blurry image on the screen with that famous message. I turned it off, removed the battery, and turned it on several times until it was operational again.  In the meantime, while doing a quick search, I discovered this topic on the forum which reassured me a bit.  Yesterday, the camera started acting up again: a clear image but it becomes blurry during a zoom in or out, and later a blurry image even in a fixed shot.  I've tried tapping gently around the lens a few times and everything returned to normal.  But I'm not getting my hopes up, it will happen again; in the meantime I hope it lasts as long as possible, especially since I use it very often and I've been very satisfied with it until now.  Here is my testimony, which adds to the others and also helps keep this topic from falling into oblivion.

empereurdkc · Answer

I assure you 100% it works very well even. I was surprised to see that the error message disappeared and then I could use the zoom wonderfully. Thank you dear internet users for the tip.

luham · Answer

For my part, the disappearance of the error is not permanent, it even comes back regularly which is quite annoying. In the short or medium term, I will have no choice but to invest in a new camcorder because for the use I have, it needs to be immediately available upon power-up, whereas sometimes it takes quite a few "taps" to get things back in order.
