I don't know! I got the same code last night, but I have a small history before it. My camera would eject tapes as normal, but once you put in a tape it wouldn't swallow it.. I tried so hard to close it without pushing in or damaging the camera, but it wouldn't. One day, just out of nowhere I tried "maybe for the last time" and it did close! After that day on I am so scared of opening the thing, I record only on the memory stick (I know, the quality blows, but better play safe than be sorry). And on the next day - baaam, that code showed up. It doesn't bother me, though... The thing records and I'm happy. It's good enough for band videos to be uploaded on youtube. If you want to see the quality I'll probably put some in the next few days to a week, so go to and click on the more recent videos... you'll see it.
