Re: Error Codes Assistance

I Get this error code on my sony TRV11e dv camcorder C:31:30
The tape is stuck in the carrier and I can't get it out. It also makes a high speed wirring noise like it is rewinding rapidly. Is this repairable?

  Hey folks,
  
  After posting on pechorin'sforum a year ago, I got some great advice to get the camcorder wrking again- but only temporarily. Two people suggested smacking it around a bit (delivering a sharp blow to the base of the camera removing then replacing the battery, which to my astonishment actually worked. However this was always going to be a temporary measure.
  
  I contacted Sony after the violence stopped having any effect, and they told me that for a flat fee (£175) they would repair it and I wouldn't have any problems with it any more. I'm still waiting till I have the spare cash to send it away. But for now it seems I'm at the end of the road with the TRV 11e...

    Hi, I have the same problem for 3 years now, errorcode C:31:30. The best suggestion I have had untill now is: "Get tape out, let the camara open, get batery out and then smash it (smoothly) three times with a flat hand. My camara is still working, but it is a risk.....goodluck.

  The tape is stuck in the carrier and I can't get it out. It also makes a high speed wirring noise like it is rewinding rapidly. Sometimes it works if I press the reset button. Lately it's very frequent. Any suggestions?
  
  Thanks

  Hi
  
  I have this SONY GV-D1000 NTSC mini DV recorder (clam shell) and am also getting this C:31:30 error. Basically when I take the battery off for a few minutes and put it back on the error goes away. When I close the tape compartment without a tape it seems to function properily. The minute I put a tape in and close (regardless of tape brand) BOOM this C:31:30 error pops up with this annoyiny beeping sound.
  
  anyone have a clue?
  
  fedup

    I've a Sony TRV11 and I was getting similar issues. Then I read on this site a suggestion to smack the bottom of the camera. I tried it and quite interestingly it started working. I just did that and not only that I can insert the MiniDV in, its playback and recording functions seem to work correctly.

  OK this is nuts!! I took the battery off and raised the clam shell over my head and dropped it on the floor behind me in frustration pretty hard.
  
  problem solved!!!!!!!!!!!!
  
  now works like a charm.
