Rec / timecode flashing , error no E:61:30
Please read. I took my Sony FDR-AXP35 Camcorder to be serviced for Error Code e61:30. The screen read that and I showed it to the technician. Within a week they emailed me confirming that exact code error and I gave them the go ahead with the repairs for THB 1132 (US$34). I called them yesterday after waiting two weeks on a job that they said would take less than a week. Now they are saying they found a new error code e61:10 and that the cost is THB 9585 (US$288). There is no way the camera computer would have read e61:30 and now they say is reading e61:10. Can anyone tell me if this is a clear case of malpractice? I will contact the Consumer Protection Board in Bangkok, but I need some technical support before I do that.
This error is
"Reset position detect error when stepper iris is initialized"
Turn on the power and set to T (telephoto) end by rotating the
ZOOM manual ring. While observing the iris blades in the
lens, turn on the power again and check the iris blades in the
lens work properly. Inspect the iris drive motor of lens drive
block (Pin qh to ql of CN6602 on the VC-582 board), when
the iris does not operate. Inspect the iris reset sensor of lens
drive block (Pin qd to qg of CN6602 on the VC-582 board),
when the iris operate.

Good Luck
This is most likely caused by a damaged or misaligned video drum and can usually be repaired fairly inexpensively. However, it's not a user serviceable problem and will need to be repaired by a qualified service technician.
