Sony Handycam DCR-SR200 e:91:01 means?

is it able to record audio? are you able to see the indicators on the lcd screen? are you able to playback previous tapes with recording...if you say yes to all of the questions, there is no doubt that you dont have an issue with the lcd screen. the issue that your having is with the ccd imaging sensor. sony has a recall program for this specific model yrs back, unfortunately its already been discontinued and if you send it to them,it will be treated as an out-of-warranty repair.

Take it for a service - cost will depend on the amount of work needed.

when you connect to PC if you can see the disk/camcorder drive in my computer, copy entire folders to your PC it will work.
possible : Check /replace USB cable
:without using sony software copy files from my computer.
:if lcd not working, use the copy button from the camera docking unit

Had the same.after stopped showing anything and the rest was working perfectly. Changed the flex wire connecting camcorder and it's like new. got from the repair shop and did it by miself. Good luck

Couple of questions,
Is it Sony DCR-TRV22 camcorder? please confirm model number.
Can you see fine and clear picture in playback of old recorded tapes in camcorder?
Let me know info to proceed.
Thanks.

I believe all Sony model DCR-TRV2XX and 3XX would play Hi 8 and ST8
Such as DCR-TRV265, DCR-TRV285 DCR-TRV340, DCR-TRV355
I hope that give you some ideas

THE LENS IS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. THERE IS AN ERROR IN YOUR LCD ASSEMBLY

flip switch is not working or stucked, a loose wire connected to this switch is also possible. you may open the unit and check for it. a pro fix is better.

There is a switch on the LCD pivot that detects which way the LCD is being viewed from. Check this switch.

Just use good quality Video Head Cleaning Cassette. Video head is dirty/ clogged.
