I don't know if your problem is the same as mine, but I have a Nikon Coolpix still camera, and I suddenly had a similar problem. I contacted Nikon, and they asked me to email them pictures taken with the camera. Then they replied and said I would have to send it in for repair.
I hate to say it, but if your screen and video are red, you probably have an image sensor problem that will have to be repaired. If your problem was only a red screen, it could be a loose connection, but since it's making it all the way to the tape, it's probably bigger. Sorry!

I,ve not been able to see anything on "DCR-HC32 -HC-42" LCD screen, but its working properly if we press it blindly, otherwise its viewfinder is o.k

If the touch screen of the Camcorder is not working, please follow the troubleshooting steps.

Please make sure that you're using fully charged batteries.

Turn off the Camcorder and turn ON again and check the operation.

Try resetting the Camcorder by pressing the reset button above the hand strap.

If the issue persists again, please perform LCD screen Calibration and check if that helps.

Please follow the steps below to perform the LCD Calibration

Perform a power resetting of the Camcorder. To perform power resetting, please remove the battery pack, turn the Power switch to ON for more than 15 seconds, turn the Power switch to OFF position and then reinsert the battery pack.


If the issue persists even after performing all the above-mentioned steps, service is required.

I hope this information will help you to resolve the touch screen issue of the Camcorder.

LCD View screen problem Sony DCR-HC42

well if i'm not mistaking it could be the LCD board connection at the screen . but the replacement + labor will go from 120 to 170,

have you tried to open the screen, really slowly and see if it shows any life !.
you can try to get an stimate at sony, and see how mush it will cost you repair the machine.

there is not easy way to fix it, the screws are small and they can be lost really easy.sorry
