Sony CamCorder Model DCR-HC42E . (lcd showing blank)

Hi

I have a sony CamCorder Model DCR-HC42E .

The LCD screen is not displaying anything.. For the last two days it

was displaying very very low brightness... but from today ..that has

totally disappeared.. And the camcorder is working fine for recording

and playing.

I always check in the view finder and then press the corresponding key

in the lcd screen.

The functionality are working but at times it work wrong.

Pls let me know what needs to be done.

Pls send reply asap ..

 

pls mail to [email protected]

 

i feel this could be the problem of flexwire or the switch which hides the display from the viewfinder and shows in the LCD

    I also have the same problem with the LCD not being on when the camera is in operation.

    Once the LCD is in its closed position, the view vinder activates, and all the appropiate touch screen buttons still function, but the LCD is not one.

    Please help me with this.
    my camera is a Sony Handycam DCR-DC42E

    I have exactly the same problem. LCD is black but otherwise the camera functions fine. The buttons on the LCD work (if only I could see them). Records and plays fine through the normal viewfinder.
