Can we replace the lens - Sony Handycam DCR-DVD108 DVD Camcorder

Common faults for this:

The lens motor is defective, lens gears jammed. Fix is lens unit replacement.

The lens servo drive circuit is not functioning. Fix is to replace the circuit board that contains the lens servo control circuits.

The connector assembly between the lens is not making proper contact, or the lens wire assembly is defective. Fix is replacement of the cable and connectors if applicable in the particular model. If the connectors on the circuit board or lens are defective, then the appropriate unit must be replaced.

No power is going to the lens unit, and or the lens servo circuit. Fix is replacement of the drive circuit board, or the power inverter if it uses a separate feed for the lens only.

Generally, with these low cost cameras they generally do not pay to service out of warranty. The service cost can approach the cost of replacing the camera.

Common causes of failures in these cameras is from water (getting wet), or dropping, or rough usage.

hi there,

The lens can be cleaned by a lens cleaner however there is no software that can fix it. Mostly if the lens is damaged the combo drive may need to be replaced. However, if you are comfortable disassembling the combo drive you can replace the lens on your own.

Just have to know what Number/Type is the lens and you can buy a replacement and then you can open the Combo drive and replace it.

If you are not very familiar with disassembling a combo drive I suggest that you just have it replaced.

HI, the optical lens assembly is damaged. you will need to replace this vital part to restore normal reading capabilities.

The optical lens assembly incorporates both the blue ray and regular lens in the same assembly. if one lens burns out, you will have no choice but to replace the entire lens assembly unfortunately.

You can confirm by using a cleansing disc. if the cleansing doesn't restore the reading abilities to the affected lens, replace the entire optical lens assembly asap.

Tried lens cleaners? It could be most of your CD's are too scatched up & need to be cleaned or replaced! For maybe a replacement lens interenet sites for U.S. Toshiba DR-410 replacemnt lens parts?

try to replace the data bus(ribbon) running from the pickup lens to the motherboard, that may the problem before replacing the lens ,NOTE that lens faulty is not easy.
