I have Sony Handycam TRV 260. Last week it started giving message about dirty head. So I tried to clean the video head using nail polish remover solution and a ear-bud. After this, now the handycam doesn't play at all. When I try to playback, it just shows blank blue screen. Can anybody help? Thanks. /Hemant
Congratulations !!! This is probably the worst attempt at self-solving a problem I have found in over fifty years. I am sure that somewhere there must be an award for you.
TRV260 nail-polish head attack:
eek.
Acetone is a powerful solvent capable of dissolving plastic parts, plastic gears, housing and insulation.
Besides that, it leaves a residue of microscopic crystals which have probably contaminated the highly-polished metal head drum.
Not to mention gumming up the bushes and bearings.
With your next camera, rather use a head-cleaner DV-tape.

tape head is damaged. sometimes the internals unwind on the head if not done properly.
