Another E:61:00 Success Story

My cybershot shot is like my baby so at first i was reluctant to hit it too hard but after about half an hour of constant spanking i gave it one good smack in the arse & it came perfect, no more errors & perfect focus, i couldnt believe it i was just about losing hope, especially at one point during the bashing session it actually got more broken & the lcd screen began to look warped. anyway thanx for the good advice people ive just saved myself alot of money, the technician here told me it needed a new part which would cost $200 id love to go back there & show him how to fix cameras by the bashing method. cheers

  Oh My God!!!! The bash method works. I've had an old Hi8 Sony Handicam sitting in a drawer upstairs for the past 2 to 3 years. I had the infamous E 61:00 error as well, which is the reason why I threw it in the drawer and bought a new one. I saw it in there, remembered the error message and typed it in Google and your post came up about giving it a good smack down. I did it, the screen went out after a few good ones and then when I powered it back up it worked. Well done. We'll see how long it lasts but for now it seems to be working just fine.

  Amazing!!! Absolutley amazing... As the last post stated, I too had gotten the E:61:00 error code on my Sony Cybershot. It sat in the drawer for a while until I decided to do a search on the error code itself. Needless to say I found this help site. The rest is history! It only took me about 4-5 medium bashes and it's like new again! The screen didn't even go out. I powered it off, bashed it, powered it on and BINGO!!! WOW! Thanks for turning me into a basher! lol...

    This is incredible! My camera showed the E:61:00 error message and I was so mad... I let it alone for a couple of weeks in denial. Today, I found this crazy method and I thought... it's already screwed up, if I'm paying for this, it'll cost the same if something else goes bad. I banged my camera 3 or 4 times against my bed holding the lens and the body carefully but applying some force. I turned it on and there was a funny sound in coming from the lens. The error remained. I turned it off and tried it again. I did this 2 times... then in the 3rd try it started to work! Thanks a lot!!!! You saved me 200 bucks and I hope my message helps someone else.
