The Firewire connection doesn't work so the Camera
Hello there,
To make the camera see your PC is to unplug your camera cables to the PC turn off the PC then when everything is off, plug your camera in with the Firewire cable, then turn on your PC then depending on the camera being on it will then be seen okay.
Same Problem! Sony Z1 turns off and back on as it wishes...
Hello, I'm afraid your iLink IC is the problem. Unfortunately it is a BGA device and resides on the very expensive VC367 board. Sometimes the IC can be replaced albeit with very specialised IC removal equipment or the board needs replacing. This is also specialised in that all the Z1 data is stored on this board requiring the data to be, first, downloaded to a PC and then uploaded once the new board is fitted. The camera then needs aligning.

Power turns itself off
Carefuly check for your model if there is an auto power off feature! Many of these devices have this for battery power savings. Some of these models can be set to as little as 1 minute up to several hours.
If there is an actual defect, you will have to send the camera to the manufacture rep for service if it is not a set up in the menu for auto power off. The power supply may be at fault, or some component on one of the boards is changing spec and is causing a safety shutdown.
Most of the repairs in your camera are done by module and board change. There are some factory procedures for performing specific setups that the average service center cannot perform.
Get an estimate before accepting repairs. In many cases with home video equipment that is out of warranty, they are not worth servicing.

Head cleaning
Use good quality video head cleaning cassette as camera gives error if use improper or very old tape.
Hi, i have a sony
Hi,
I assume that you can see live view to record on mini dv cassette but can't see recorded image in playback.
Let me know when you playback mini dv cassette, does time counter run time intervals or stays blank on LCD / eye finder?
If this happens, you have dirty / clogged video heads in camera and need to use good quality mini dv head cleaning cassette to clean heads. This will resolve problem.
Need further help, let me know please.
Thank you.
Touchscreen
First and foremost shut down the device. Remove the battery if possible for 1 minute. Then restart/power up device. If still no luck or response. Go into the setting and look for the reset to default setting if there is no option for touch screen controls. Best of luck
