To this day this Tutorial is still necessary =) , thank you very much for taking your time and doing it, it helped me to replace the flex ,again thank you very much and I wish you success in whatever you do =)
My pleasure, pretty awesome that you were able to use it again, thanks for commenting!
Thank you for going to the work of posting this video. I just repaired my own DCR-SR200 (saving hundreds of dollars) using this as a guide. This was certainly the most helpful resource I found trying to figure out what was wrong with my camera...and then how to repair it. Thanks for giving me the confidence to try...and for the detailed video to reference. I was extremely nervous to open my camera up and attempt anything. My wife was super-impressed, and that's always a good thing!
Excellent Video....Followed the same procedure to remove the Handycam DCR SR45. Fixed the flexi cable......It worked....Bravo...!!.....Many Thanks for the video....
Very good explanation! With this video I changed the flex cable of my DCR-SR45. I had some problems with the screwdriver, that now I know it was not the correct tool, and almost damaged some screws. I used another one, and the handycam is working again! Congratulations for the video, and thank you!
My friend his camera Lcd screen didn't work, I found out the flexcable was broken. This video helps alot to replace the broken cable !!! Thank you very much !!!
Thanks you, I was able to replace flex cable without a problem, camcorder is working perfectly, and only one screw was left afterwords ;-)
Thank you again!
Thanks so much for posting this video. Thanks to you I was able to fix my Sony HDR-SR12 (new flex cable for the LCD screen) for less than $5 in parts. What is even better no screws left over after the final assembly (did have three left over after the first assembly attempt but the camera worked 100% without them). Many many thanks!!!
Remplazo del flex exitoso y problema resuelto, aplique el mismo procedimiento en Handycam DCR SR45, muchas gracias¡¡
Gracias con tu video pude reparar la DCR-SR45 del mismo problema.
DE nada
@@mreinsmithbonjour je dispose caméscope sony handicam dcr sr88 et allumage impossible même sur secteur ? Aucun voyant ?
Translation isn't the best, are you saying it won't start, even when plugged in?
Huge thank you! I think the reassembly process was the biggest pain but all in all your video was a big help and got my camera working again! thank you!
Parabéns pelo vídeo, ajudou muito na troca e montagem da filmadora.
I have the same camcorder as this and it seems I need to change the cable too ... or at least I need to fix it somehow.
Thank you for the tutorial; it will certainly be very helpful for me.
In reply to the post from "the guy with the guitar in front of the flowers", I just replaced my flex cable and the old cable that I removed did not have any visible defect that I could see. However with the new flex cable installed the camera worked just find and the LCD now works 100% of the time. (previously the LCD screen was blank until I wiggled it and the display would then work for about a second or so)
You saved my Camera from going to the Trash. Thanks so much.
Excellent video ,well done i had exact same problem it cost me €7 for ribbon on ebay and sorted the problem thanks to you. Many thanks.
Thanks for going through the effort to record and share with us all, appreciated!
Very handy video. Thanks for the time you took to make this available for us. This is one of the reason, internet is a great resource.
I used your video to an extend, especially on how to disconnect cables from their joints. I managed to get to the LCD a bit easier. After removing the case on the HDD, I took out the thing on the bottom of the camera and then i made my way to removing the panel that houses the display door. However, I have to mention that I did this on a sony hdr SR7E.
Great video! It helped me a lot. Thank you very much!
Awesome video. saved me a fortune. camera now good as new. thanks very much

Hi i got image going from up to down on my handycam and i open it but i cam across 3 flex cable could you please help to let me know which one to change.
i have the same model, but mine just happened a few months ago. i thought the battery is too old that's why the screen display shows battery level too low. i bought a new battery the other day and it's still the same. i tried cleaning the battery terminals but still turn off after showing battery level low. but it works when plug in with the charger.
It makes me wonder if one of the contacts is loose or broken on the inside, on most devices the contact is soldered. But that doesn't mean it would be fixable
Nice... Can you assist me... Where do I get those display part's or display wire? Because mine too display not working...
Yes
Hi Mrein Smith, How are you? Ok, I have a sony handycam DCR-SR45 and it use to work perfectly, then suddenly when I try to switch it on with the battery, a red light just above the battery is continually blinking, I tried to replace the battery but still the same problem. I tried powering it on just with the AC jack, with the battery and without and still nothing. It simply doesn't come on and the red light keeps blinking. Also a green light is on where the photo section is. I have tried to fix and troubleshoot this problem, but nothing has worked. Any suggestions will be much appreciated. Thanks.
After i replaced the flex cable the screen become White, The cable is not loose i tried Arranging it many times but still white, do you know what causes the problem?
White screen is almost ALWAYS caused by a poor connection.
These cables can easily be defective right out of the package. If you can return it and get another that is what I would try first.
While you wait for a new cable, check for problems with the connectors on the camera. Make sure they are clean and the plastic isn't warped. If it's warped it won't pinch tight enough
Look for brown or black burn marks anywhere you can see soldered connections or chips and diodes.
Let me know how you get along
@@mreinsmith thank You For Quick Respond, I Already ordered 2 Flex Cable For My SR45 And It will Arrive This day.
@@mreinsmith My 2 Flex Already Came And I Already Try The 2 But The Screen Is Still white, i Inspect The Connectors But Couldn't See Warp, what Could Be The problem?
I'm sorry to hear that
Are there any other small ribbons or wires in the camera that could be loose?
Otherwise the only 2 things left are the screen itself or a burnt out component
If you had another similar camera you could temporarily connect the screen from it
It's a risk though, It's all low voltage but it "could" burn out the other screen
Hi, Great video, used to strip my sony DCR-SR52, it appears to have a secondary cable over the screen ribbon, it goes from the screen to the hinge, but it as no fixing on it, it has a metal piece bonded ?to it but was hanging loose, any idea where it goes?

I switched of demo in the settings but when I switch the camera next time it do the same thing . Please guide.
I have a Sony Handycam, same like the one in that video DCR-SR65. I have problem with it. the screen didn't display anything, it doesn't light up. I already check it out, but the cable looks like still in good condition, same as the screen. I have found some part that rusted at the copper gasket at the screen does it annoy the display? what do you think the problem would be? can you show me some video showing related to LCD Flex Cable problem? Thank you.

My DCR SR68 has a problem where when I press the power button I can hear a humming like something is starting up (probably the hard drive), and the display shows "HANDYCAM". Then the camcorder just shuts off. This happens regardless of whether the camcorder is plugged into AC power or running off the battery or running off AC power without the battery installed. Any ideas?
My guess is that the hard drive has failed, but I can't be sure
***** Thanks for taking the time to reply. Can the hard drive be removed from the camcorder and hooked up to a pc to test it?
+Ray Russell Have you tried holding the power button down? I have the DCR SR62 and it was doing the same thing. Holding the power button down kept it powered on and allowed us to record videos but as soon as we release the power button it shuts off.
Let me ask the sony DCR- SR45 to open the machine shows only white on the screen , can not see the screen. thanks.
It should be very similar to this video.
I have a problem with my camera, I have the DCR-SR36, and I am getting a problem with HDD format. It can't find it. I tried reformatting, but it won't fix, can you help?
Hi, my sony dcr-sr42 wont turn on, any ideas?
Sir im trying to load my picture to widows 7 will not what to do please
Can you upgrade the Hard Drive to a larger capacity on these or do they need to be formatted by Sony?
Yes they can, as long as you have the option to format storage in your menu you can format it once its installed
Awesome, too easy have to go up to like 250
thanks man .tel us where i can find purches the Flet cable ?👍
eBay is probably your best bet

As far as i know the model is discontinued, as far as a size limit I don't know, but yoi should be able to format or partition if it won't read a larger drive
does this guide work for HDR-SR5 camcorders?
I can't be positive but they should all be very similar just make sure you get the right part
I can't be positive but they should all be very similar just make sure you get the right part
