Sony DCR-SR200 screen slowly "scrolls" vertically like the V-Hold on an old television

This model does not have a viewfinder, only the LCD screen This model does not have a viewfinder, only the LCD screen

I have the same problem with my DCR-SR200, I took it apart and concluded there is a thin cable that has a broken wire segement, if I press just right on the cable, the screen is fine. Now, where to find a replacement cable?

Since a few days I have the same problem with my dcr-sr35. Has any of you found a solution for this? Since a few days I have the same problem with my dcr-sr35. Has any of you found a solution for this?

If I gently twist the viewfinder back to the "close" position, the scrolling stops.



I thought it might be a loose cable, so I took the camera nearly completely apart and reseated all viewfinder cables. There are two - one that has the video signal, and one that detectes when the viewfinder is flipped 180 degrees to the front.



Didn't old TVs do this when they lost vertical sync? Could this be a bad diode or some other failed electronic component in the viewfinder? If I gently twist the viewfinder back to the "close" position, the scrolling stops.

My SR200 just started doign this today. I thought it was a loose cable, but I took the camera (completely) apart and reseated them - it fixed it at first, but after a few power ons, the problem returned.



Didn't old TVs have a scrolling problem like this when they lost vertical sync? This seems like it would be localized on the controller board behind the viewfinder, like a bad diode or something.

I have same problem. The video screen rolls. Sometimes the background is also dark. I've taken it apart and reassembled five times. It seems like a switch is not engaging/dis-engaging properly. There are two micro-switches, one turns the screen on when the door is opened, the other flips the display when twisted to the front position. I even disassembled the switch that turns the screen on and no change. (I don't recommend this; it requires a magnifying glass and tremendous patience - plus, it didn't help). I'm thinking it may be a loose solder connection, possibly on a small capacitor mounted on the touch-screen circuit board. Very frustrating. I have same problem. The video screen rolls.
