Re[3]: FIX!!! for Self Diagnosis C:31:22

I had the C:31:23 & C:31:22 error on my Sony TRV318.
I turned off the camcorder, removed the battery for 60 seconds.
Then I inserted the battery & put a new tape in.
NOTHING HAPPENED BECAUSE SONY'S KNOWLEDGE BASE did not let me know that if I hit the camera a couple of times with the palm of my hand that that would fix the camera.
I am shocked it worked kind of like that car radio I had when I was 17.
Thanks foe the help guys

  Unbelievable! After taking my TRV330 halfway apart yesterday and getting it to finally eject a tape after 2 YEARS, then having it stop ejecting again today, I was feeling desperate and ready to try anything. I slapped the camera one way and then another. Nothing. I banged it against my knee and then the arm of the desk chair. Nothing. Then I went spazz-tastically crazy on the thing. It worked! I'm thrilled! I'm 2 days from having to film a big competition for my girls' gymnastics team, so this is a huge deal for me! Needless to say that I threw away the tape that had been stuck in the camera for so long. It was so overused that it was beginning to skip. @_@ I guess if the darn thing gives me any trouble while I'm out of town, I'll just beat it like it owes me money!! Thanks, guys!! ^_^

  Just got the error message C:31:22..reinsert cassette. After 1/2 an hour online with Sony, no repair. She suggested I send it in and get it repaired for a minimum of $111. I ALMOST entered my credit card info and sent the thing in but decided to research the code..found this site..slapped it a couple of times on the palm of my hand and wahoo..I'm watching video from Jamaica! Whew..we're leaving in just a few short days to go back to jamaica..didn't want to go without the camcorder!! THANK YOU for the advice!! Will keep it in mind forever!!
