Sanyo HD1 Black Screen - Fix

My camera, the Sanyo Xacti HD1, is experiencing intermittent "black screen." I have read in a lot of forums that to fix this problem is to get the iris blades cleaned. No one in my area has any experience with the HD1 so I took matters into my own hands. I also read that the HD1 is susceptible to bumps and knocks. Put two and two together and you'll see the result of this video.

It wasn't too long afterwards that my camera became a really good audio recorder. Just after making this video it went to permanent black screen.

As of October 1, 2008, my camera has become unoperational. So like I said in the video, it may be only a temporary fix for your camera.

There are more detailed instructions elsewhere on the web but the UTube police won;t let me post the link. Hunt around for it with a metasearch engine. The job is not for the faint hearted but it fixed my camera (as tempted as I was to just bash it a few times).

Soon I read the description of two and two together a light bulb when off in my head. I started to bash the top side of the camera and pop, screen no longer black! Thanks for upload, did not even view your video. You saved my Christmas filming..
