Sony Handycam DCR-PC105 Mini DV Digital Camcorder Questions & Answers
DCR PC 105 was dropped. Now auto focus only works
The most likely cause for this is a zoom or focus lens out of place and can usually be repaired fairly inexpensively. However, it's not a user serviceable problem and will need to be repaired by a qualified service technician.

Sony PC-105 - camera won't charge, hence tape will not eject. Is
I just had the same issue except I left my camera out in the rain. My camera is a DCRF-HC32 Sony Handicam. There is a reset button on the side of the camera where the eject door is. Take a paper clip and hold the reset button in for 5-10 secs. The camera will beep, power on, open the door and it ejected.
Zoom is stuck
Just check the DC power supply flowing to the Lens block control.
Some times the SMD fuse blows off and power may not reach the lens block motor.

Sony DCR-DVD200 camcorder not turning on after trying to fix it.
The best thing you can do now is to take it to a specialist and get them to do the repairs. Camcorders have a lot of electronics in them and can be easily damaged if your a not an experienced repairer. You might also have to consider that this camcorder might not be repairable.
