Sony Handycam DCR-TRV103 Digital Camcorder Logo

My sony digital handycam flashes C:31:42

Every time I turn on my sony digital handycam dcr-trv103, the display screen flashes C:31:42 on and off very rapidly. I assume it is an error code but the handycam will not work waiting for me to fix the "error"

I have tried changing the tape but with no success
Thank you for your support

    Your repair would be between 200.00 and 275.00 depending on a repair shop. Plus, it has to be authorized facility

Having problem with sound playback from TDK Metal 8 tapes

I don't remember where I read it, but somewhere like this site.
Just as you start the play back, give your camera a bump with the heal of your hand. This has worked a couple times, and the issue seems to be with just the metal tapes. My husband was a bit appalled until it worked. It might not solve the issue long term, but I was wanting to recover baby footage so I wanted to just get it done.

Have a sony DCR-TRV103..trying to upload video to my laptop using a USB cable...but the laptop does not recognize the camera..and I can't find any drivers? Any ideas?

You can't do this with USB. You need special cord - 1394 IEEE adapter on one end, and a DV adapter on the other (camera)end. This fits into slot on front of camera under and to the left of the microphone.

No playback on DCR-TRV103

In playback mode the lCD displays the battery time, hi8 symbol and the tape counter. all the functions work the tape will play, rewind, fast forward. The screen stays blank on playback and the tape counter stays at 0:00:00 eventhough I can see the tape turning. I also hooke the camera to my tv and I got no picture.
