B-Line Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 So I finally broke out my camera after probably 2 years of not riding/filming and finally getting a new charger as my buddy lost my other. Anyway i get her charged up and go to review whatever i had on the tape and I start getting my gray lines across the screen. I ran down to a shop and picked up a head cleaner for my cam, and after some mishaps with my crank arm flying off and such i finally got back down to the park. I ran my cleaner through once, and started taking some shot when my "please run cleaner" prompt popped up. So I ran the cleaner again and took about 10min of footage. I played back the tape and all was good i figured my issues were done with. I got home and was about to start capturing, and when i started the playback to capture, i started getting multi-colored lines across the screen, again every second line was actual footage,and every other was random colored lines. So im wondering if the tape is just done with and i need to buy some new ones or if the heads need to be cleaned more, or if the cam is just toast.By the way, I'm using a Sony minidv handycam (shitty cam yes i know) im not sure the model as i dont have it on me at the moment.oh and I'm using the same tape that was in there, not a brand new one...

Jonny Jones Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 Hopefully our little chat on MSN will solve things. For people having any similar problems, I suggested that he change the tape, and if it doesn't help, its most likely something electronic. A similar thing happened to my first Sony handycam, and it turned out to be the linkages between circuit boards that were duff, cost £180 to fix.Jonny.
