Sony HDR-HC3 Tape Door Won't Close with C:32:11 Error Code
Fri, 29 Aug 2025 03:46:43 +0000

Thank you to everyone before and good luck to anyone seeing this in the future! Try everything you're comfortable with and then some. Different cameras have different solutions for the same code.
Tried different fixes for two cameras, HC21 and HC28. The whack worked on the HC21. For the HC28, the video from 2010 where you remove the battery & CAREFULLY Press down on the mode gear with a small screwdriver was the only thing that worked for my favorite HC28!
It's a temporary fix though. I got the error again a few days later. But I did the same thing and it worked again.

If the whack works your problem will remain a mystery but at least it works and probably wasn't that bad.
If the temporary screwdriver fix works for you then congratulations you know your problem! Unfortunately it requires surgery to fix permanently. It's The mode gear and golden sensing plate. Like the video and description says, they might need to be cleaned. Good luck!
Tips:
DO NOT put too much pressure on the mode gear. Remember you're just pressing it against a sensor not stabbing/prying it.

What is the 3-body problem, and is it really unsolvable?

It's not unsolvable. The mere fact that their sophons can see every interaction only hastens humanity ,I e us to communicate through telepathy and touch.

Error Code C:31:40
Mon, 28 Jul 2025 05:52:04 +0000

Well, a tape jammed in my DSR-PD150P camera, after I got the tape out I got a mixture of c:31:98 and c:31:40 errors. After a few rounds of knocking the camera about, and hitting the restart button, the tape eject button finnaly worked, and ejected by itself, and now works again.

Fixing the Windows XP Firewire Problem
Mon, 28 Jul 2025 05:51:23 +0000

If you see the camcorder in Device Manager via Firewire and the driver doesn't have a yellow exclamation mark, then the driver is already working. You just need a software that can utilize your camcorder via Firewire.

Choppy Playback - Sony DCR-TRV120
Mon, 28 Jul 2025 05:52:59 +0000

December 2024.... Googled this issue on my TRV-320 I recently acquired. Saw "give it a thump on the side" and laughed, thinking no way that'll work.
Gave it a thump, cleared right up... :) Unreal.

c31:30 error code
Mon, 28 Jul 2025 05:51:45 +0000

Na jaren weer de Sony DCR-TRV 20E weer opgepakt en kreeg c:31:30 melding , van alles geprobeerd ,niets werkte . Maar kwam deze site tegen , en als wanhopig bent dan probeer je alles, hij had een flink pakslaag nodig voordat hij het weer ging doen.Eerst moest ik de tape er weer uithalen en terug doen,( verbaasd dat dat in een keer lukte) daarna oh wonder de camera werkte weer !!!!! De laatste tape was in 2005 opgenomen. Daarna de camera bijna niet gebruikt, ik kan nu de tapes overzetten op de computer. Bedankt voor deze ,onbetaalbare ,tip.
