Repair Sony Camcorder DCR-IP5 DCR-IP7 mode gear

[pbchac]

Hi what grease do you use?. I don't want to use the Sony grease because it will give me the same problem in the future.

@pbchac  I'm using JVC KYODO-SH-JB

[pbchac]

@johnhanmyk Thank you. It's hard to find it, I found a place they have it in backorder. Do you know where is on stock?

Thank you,

[johnhanmyk]

@pbchac

cool how the hell did you repair that, thats worse than a laptop ?

I have a Rolex that needs to be cleaned and oiled, Do you think you can do it. I am sure it has about 50 parts less than this camera.

[johnhanmyk]

@deandbe1969 sorry, I'm not work on Rolex.

Even broken, you can sell these things for like $300 on Ebay. Operational ones are going for $600. These things have held their value because they were only manufactured for a few years. Unfortunately I have a bunch of videos that I can't watch.

@slaptacular

It was another of Sony's fail format, it's microMV, a proprietary videotape format introduced in 2001 by Sony, that used 12 Mbit/s MPEG-2 compression, it could not be directly edited with mainstream DV editing software as Adobe Premiere or Apple Final Cut Pro and quailty was not that good.

This is equivalent of a impractical concept car that for some reason has made it into the dealerships. No sane person would want to drive it, but a fool and his money are welcome to try.

fantastic video, dont know how you can remember where everything goes but great video. God bless u. Great music!

[amed71]

Im sorry but i agree, the video is useless...if you really want to help the bunch of unaffortunates that have this issue and have to do it ourselves, please do the following:

1. make the video slower...man, youtube its free... they dont charge you by the time..

2. please explain what you are doing, step by step, so we can see the parts and the entire process..

3. thell us were can we find the replacement parts... ist a hard task , even for a webmaster...

Thanks in advanced..

Mine has been broken for like 3 years, the cassette compartment doesn't retract back into the casing and I can't close the battery holder back in because of this...

This seems like something for an computer designer to do... won't try it, I don't even have a sodder thing so f it. I'll just smash it up lol.

[Thetruthishere11]

Bad video. too much loud music. no explanation of problem and repair.

worthless.

[oatstao]

@Thetruthishere11 I disagree. THe music, loud, and not needed, yes, but all you have to do is turn the volume down and use the pause button to do the step by step visualization. It's all there under 10 minutes, that was the point I'm sure.

Oh wow you're in Des Plaines...how lucky! I live in Chicago...I think I'll give you guys a call!

[thestunnaz]

I have this issue with mine. I can get lucky and get it to work once in awhile. This looks wayyy to complicated. Can I ship you mine to fix and pay you? LOL
