Dew sensor cleaning is always the first thing to try (info sent) as it usually solves the problem, that is unless the camcorder is being used in an environment where condensation is liable to occur, however if this fails and the camcorder is not used being used in the aforementioned type of environment then disabling of the sensor is the only thing that is 99.9% of the time guaranteed to cure the problem, with info sent on the procedure used. The undermentioned should "always" be taken into account though! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AN IMPORTANT POINT CONCERNING THE MODIFICATION. The instructions given are really aimed at technically minded people of a "practical" nature who are acquaint at working on smaller electro-mechanical devices of a precision nature, or who have a flair for this sort of thing, and so in the interests of not making the situation any worse I would strongly advise anyone who does not really come into that category NOT to attempt this work, as it involves separating the case and the unscrewing the main circuit board to gain access to the board below it, this requiring the disconnection of ribbon cables etc, it is also necessary to carry out the precision soldering of two "very" narrowly spaced PCB pins, so the possession of a fine tipped soldering iron is also absolutely essential! So taking the above into consideration the qualification mentioned is really a MUST!! It should be emphasised that there are NO shortcuts into getting over this problem other than what's been aforementioned, and even if the memory reset does affect a cure it can only be adopted as a stop gap measure as the CPU could lock up again at some point in time, and unfortunately in many instances does!!
