Hi!
It's most likely a broken LCD flex cable which goes through the hinge. It's a common problem with these cameras. I repair them every day as I work in a Sony service center. If you're out of warranty, talk to Sony, maybe they are ready to pay half of the repair or something like that as I believe it's a factory fault.

Hope this helps!

After researching various flexible cable numbers from different posts, I found that the SR-200 uses a unique cable, FP-610, part number 187145711. This has been discontinued and replace with part number 187145721 (same cable also used in DCR-SR300).

If you are in doubt with your camera, just take it apart up to the point of seeing the ribbon cable. The part number is printed on the side.

I found two sources for this so far, www.nexttronics.com and https://servicesplus.us.sony.biz/sony-parts.aspx. Price ranged from $30 to $40 plus shipping.

DCR-SR200 is complicated camera and pls contact nearest Sony service shop for proper repair.

It's on the cradle. Please see page 19 of manual:

Please mark this as solved.

Your laptap MS card reader might not be properly installed. It might have been uninstalled or corrupted, which can always happen. Try going to your control panel, device manager, then uninstall the device, and install it again. It shoudl work this time. Good luck.

LCD ribbon cable is probably the culprit.
