Re[2]: FIX!!! for Self Diagnosis C:31:22

I'll be damned. Rely on all my cameras for work, (5 Sony DV's) and was about to replace my PC-9, (best camera I've ever owned and irrepalceable) when I found this post. Smacked it around and called it Sally, lo and behold it works. To repeat another post....does anyone have any experience with how long this "fix" works?

  Hi - I too stumbled on the 'hit fix' solution on the internet
  one day and it worked! ... for awhile.... Then the error codes
  started happening again ... I'd hit it again ... it eventually
  would work again .... for awhile ... right now it's not working.
  
  So. Do I hit it harder?
  
  What now? Anyone else experiencing this?
  Any other solutions presenting themselves?
  
  Perhaps bashing it with a hammer or wrench???
  
  Strange.
  
  I was also curious how long everyone's camera's worked before the error codes began ... like is it some built in thing that happens once the warranty is no longer valid to encourage more back end business for sony via service and replacement?? Mine worked well for nearly 2 years before this began...
  
  Hoping there's a way to keep this thing working ....
  And if there's not, well next time I WON'T be buying a sony...
