Re[2]: SONY ORIGINAL PARTS

I empathize with you. The Sony Handycam switches are made of cheap plastic. In 1997, my Handycam Model CCDTRV30, switch broke-off. I was on a trip at the time to Las Vegas. I purposely bought the camcorder for the trip. This incident ruined my trip. I never thought about moving the switch manually. I would pay the $60 for a new part if I were you as the camera is pretty good. I own the CCD-TRV308 and it worked perfectly since 2002 until recently. Suddenly the autofocus goes out of sync for no reason. It is ruining my taping. It happens only intermittently with no warning. I hate the new Sony's; many of them have "Touch-Screen" controls which means that you must use the LCD screen at all times!
