LCD SCREEN PROBLEM SONY DCR-HC17E CAMCORDER

Hello,

I have the same issue with my HC 19 E camcorder bought in November 2005. After consulting several sites, it seems that this is due to a connection problem between the camcorder and the screen caused by a break in the flex cable.
I went to a service center that "confirms" this hypothesis and offers to replace the flex cable.
However, I just received the quote for this modification amounting to €191 including tax. (I find this a bit expensive, so I plan to compare prices at other service centers).
On other forums, I read that Sony acknowledges a manufacturing issue with a number of camcorders and commits to covering repairs. However, our camcorder model does not appear on that list.
I will still try to contact their customer service tomorrow morning (0810 36 8000) to see if this repair can be covered.
I'll keep you updated.

Look here, if it can help you... https://www.afternic.com/forsale/rubbishworld.com?utm_source=TDFS_DASLNC&utm_medium=DASLNC&utm_campaign=TDFS_DASLNC&traffic_type=TDFS_DASLNC&traffic_id=daslnc& This is for another cam, but it looks like yours. Good luck!

Hello

It seems that there is someone who knows how to do it - or at least his friend: http://arjupileda.over-blog.com/...

Try to get in touch with him?

Good luck

Thank you first for your quick response.
To find out if you are included in the list of Sony interventions, they just need your serial number, whether your device is under warranty or not, right?

For my part, it works very well, just the screen that doesn't display anymore, however the touchscreen still works. Unlike me, I can't afford to get such a gift... I'm going to try to fix it.

Well yes, but on my model you have to confirm the USB connection via the touchscreen... and my hard drive is full...

Hello,
I just had the same problem with a Sony DCR-HC17E, purchased in October 2005.
It reassures me because I thought I had made a mistake, and it annoys me because we can no longer count on anyone, let alone on big brands.
Considering the cost of repairs and the price of some camcorders (the latest Samsung for example at around 250 euros at Fnac, which is technically superior).
Transfer your films to DVD as soon as possible, while you can still control the camcorder via the PC.
Good luck to you all,
JClaude

Hello
I have the same problem with my Sony camcorder and would like to know how to disassemble my device, if there are websites with instructions on how to replace the ribbon cable that connects the LCD screen, and where I can obtain one.
If you can, please kindly respond to me.
Have a great weekend.

Good evening,

I have the same problem as you, have you received the tablecloth? I cannot find it on the site (in Aix), were you able to make the repair?

Thank you for your response.

Hello dear internet user,
Given the cost of parts and the risk of a poor repair, I preferred to opt for a future gift, perhaps for Christmas, of a new camcorder, more efficient, and with a warranty.
Sorry,
Thank you for your help,
I am satisfied with the professionalism of this forum
and I wish all internet users and the forum administrators a wonderful end of year holiday season,
and I send you my best wishes for this upcoming year 2010 galloping in (Health, Happiness, Bliss)
Jean-Claude
