  1. I need the help of the Fediverse! We have two old camcorders that have been sitting around for ages and I am trying to resurrect them.

    One is a Canon, it works great but the tape mechanism doesn't fully open, it raises up but the second part doesn't move out to allow tape entry.

    The second, a Sanyo, works but just shuts down after around 5 seconds.

    Both are powered off the mains using their factory chargers so it's not a battery issue.

    Anyone with any ideas?

    Thanks, Sammi

  12. These were the last two photos I took with my Panasonic SDR-H85 camcorder. I was really bummed out as it broke at the start of my trip and I still have no clue what caused it to die. Still pretty sad about it. Does anyone have an Idea what might've caused it to die? I'm pretty certain the blurry picture was taken whilst it was dying and the other picture was after I couldn't see anything on my screen anymore. The Completely black picture was taken the same day to try and see if, after exporting media, it still worked. Clearly not as there is nothing on there

    More Info on how it died:
    I was taking photos but suddenly my screen started losing colour and fading away. For a while it still started up but nothing was visible on the display and after a couple of days it didn't want to turn on anymore.

    A boost would be appreciated if it can help my post appear in communities which might know the answer.

  17. I took off one side to see whether the blown capacitor would be accessible. It is not, at least not without a nearly complete disassembly.

    My relative says it should go to someone who would want it. No charge, and I can meet you in the greater #Boston area. If you've been looking for a retro #camcorder, and don't mind doing the repairs, it's yours.

    Please boost if you like.

  22. This is quite something. It feels more modern than the old broken one we had, but that one had more features (like a builtin light!). Sadly it doesn't have a microphone input. It does however advertise to have "megapixels" 😄. Which is actually about 1.3MP haha. A 16MB SD card was included for photo's. It can even record a ten second clip in 320x240 to the SD card, or 160x120 even!

    No clue why they would include that though.
