First thing to try is to run a mini-dv cleaning tape through the sytem, which you should be doing on a regular basis as recommended in the instructions of the cleaning tape. If the problem persists you will need to have it professionally cleaned/repaired depending on what ends up being wrong with it.

There is a fuse on the power board that could have gone faulty, or the power board itself.

try running a dry head cleaning tape for about 5 to 10 seconds. if it improves, but still has problems, run it again for another 5 to 10 seconds. There is a possibility that your heads were dirty when you recorded and therefore the footage did not record correctly. Hopefully, that is not the issue and the head cleaning tape will help.....Sony has the best one that we have found and we use it on all different brands of camcorders.

People are always blowing out their firewire port by making a hot
hookup. Don't confuse firewire with USB, which is safe. In the users manual you will see warnings about making sure the equipment is powered off before hooking up the firewire cable.
Try hooking it up to another computer and try using a simple program like Windows Movie Maker or something, if it still doesn't
regognize it, get your camera into an authorized service facility.

Hi. The clip might be running that is why you cant delete that particular clip. Try to press the stop button and go back to the click and look for the delete options which is shadowed before.

If your camera gets wet, best bet is to take it to an Authorized service centre right away. They can open it up and clean up the boards.

If you are talking about salt water, get there ASAP. Salt is the worst as it corrodes into the boards. Once the corrosion sets in, and depending on where it sets, you are going to get an unreliable and possibly expensive to repair camera.

Wow I have not any ideas on all these problems, all I do know is if it was my camera I would remove the power-pack and do complete reset, that sorts them all out no problem.

kindly check if your cam is compatible to use SDHC that you can found or read from your manual. if not you need to use only SD card, but if yes try to format your memory card or insert another sdhc card and you found out what is the problem.

thank you

Remember in UK we are on Pal not NTSC ok?

Hi,

Please elaborate your problem providing us with more detail

Thanks for using FixYa.

try mains power and see if it works

Wow mate you are looking to get a nice camera there, I am pleased you are keeping away from the DVD or H Disk type as they were never very reliable and simply never did work with movies, your camera has a good zoom, 3 CCDs in the system, a massice inprovement on the last model of this type from that group.
Cannot go wrong, only thing I see about it is you need to buy 2, then I would send you my adrs details hi hi>>>
Anyway my friend you have fun, I know that you will.
Bye
