My sony trv900 video cam shows only the blue screen when trying to playback videos. when recording video it seems to function properly but I still can see the video, only the blue screen. This happens if I record video or when I playback a previously recorded one that looked fine until yesterday.

The v900 has some years on it. It will need the heads cleaned ,possible torque adjustment or replacement of the video drum unit. To clean it is only $40 at Larry's electronics [email protected]

if all the indicators i.e. battery condition, play mark, counter, etc are visible on the screen then it can be a simple problem of dirty video head. try using a head cleaning cassette or do the head cleaning manually, Open the cover by removing three screws on the right hand side next to the viewfinder. Slide it little towards front and pick it up. The video head will be visible.
