I reset my Sony DCR-HC21 and now the LCD screen doesn't respond to my touch. It's just stuck on the date/time screen. I tried to do the calibration, per the user manuel, but I can't get to the calibration screen per the instuctions.Everything else works perfectly fine. Is there anything that I can do.

This is usually caused by a defective LCD module or a defective flex cable that connects the LCD to the camera. I recommend replacing them both at the same time. The LCD / Touchscreen module is no longer available from Sony at a reasonable price for this Model. However, I have a limited supply of them in stock as well as an aftermarket supplier with hundreds of them.

My name is Rick and I'm a professional repair technician with over 20 years in the business and have repaired many of these. I'm semi retired and work from home with little overhead so I can keep repair costs low. If you decide to have it repaired, please click HERE for a directory listing that suits your needs.

Sounds like a bad lcd panel assy or the lcd cable. The unit needs to be serviced for a 100% diagnosis but it will be one of those 2. I hope this helps.

The touch screens in these can shift. Can you rotate the screen and get the screen to work? if so it's possible if your skilled to recenter the screen then resecure it. of course you might end up having to replace it. I have replaced more of them than recentering them . Larry's Electronics [email protected]

Hi there,
The problem you have on your Handycam is the flex cable FP-835.
You have to open the camera and change the cable.
It´s very easy to change.

If the buttons on the touch-panel LCD screen do not respond correctly or do not work at all, adjust the LCD screen calibration. Consult the instruction manual if specific information is required to perform this procedure.
NOTE: The touch-panel LCD screen cannot be calibrated if it is rotated.
