I need a power cord where do I get one

Sony would be the logical place to start, go online to customer support and the technical department they may be able to provide the part. I would also check out a camera repair shop.

C:31:40 WON'T RECORD OR PLAY BACK

Error code 31:40 indicates a problem in the cameras tape transport system. This can be caused by several problems including the transmission gear in the tape mechanism not engaging properly, a defective clutch in the take-up spool or a faulty rotary mode switch. This will require disassembling the camera to repair and can be done fairly inexpensively. However, it's not really a user serviceable problem and should be repaired by a qualified service technician.

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 the camera repaired, please click HERE for a directory listing that suits your needs.

On screen saying re attach

Does it have the battery in it? If so, plug the powercord in to charge. If not, put the battery in it. If it still doesn't work with battery and power cord: I would think either the battery or the powercord is not working properly. Most likely the powercord.

I have a handycam

Have you tried connecting with a firewire cable and using Window Movie Maker to capture.
Digital 8 cameras are treated as uncontrollable devices so you may have to start the camera manually.

Can i use a vhs-c tape in my handycam

No you cannot. A Digital-8 camcorder can read 8mm video and Hi-8 video, as well as the Digital8 format, but it cannot read or play VHS or VHS-C tapes.
