E01 Tape load / unload time-out  ^ Top

E02 Supply reel error  ^ Top
Most common in the Mini-DV models. This problem can be defective reel tables, or it can also be a defective rotary encoder. You can expect to pay intermediate to major labor for this type of repair. Parts are nominal.

E03 Take-up error  ^ Top
Most common in the Mini-DV models. This problem can be defective reel tables, or it can also be a defective rotary encoder. You can expect to pay intermediate to major labor for this type of repair. Parts are nominal.

E04 Cylinder error  ^ Top
Very common. Problem is due to cold solder on the cylinder drive PC board. Re-flowing the solder solves this problem. Labor is typically intermediate, to repair this problem.

E06 Capstan error  ^ Top
Generally either a defective capstan motor, or cold solder connections. Since the soldering process is surface mount technology, both tedious and time consuming, labor can be intermediate to major.

No Picture in Camera mode (All models)  ^ Top
Defective CCD imager. The CCD imager is the device that 'sees', directly behind the lens. Labor is minor to intermediate, model dependent.

How much do you charge for estimates?  ^ Top
The estimate fee is $30.00, and is waived if your unit is repaired. That's fair, isn't it?

Negotiated cut rates with UPS have resulted in typical GROUND shipping charges of $10.00. Second day air shipping (BLUE) averages $40.00, and next day air shipping (RED) averages of $70.00. Every repaired camcorder is insured for value, and we only tack on $1.50 for packing supplies.
