Camcorder Repair Service for Sony
I have a Sony Digital 8 TRV 720 Handicam that no longer works. Is
there a Sony Repair Service Center I can send it to for an estimate? At first I thought the heads were dirty and tried to clean it with a cassette cleaner. Now it will not play or record but I can hear it running. I'm not sure if it's worth fixing or just getting another one on Ebay? |

I recently had a repair done by Sony Electronics at Bristol, PA
(www.sony.com/repair). The turnaround time was excellent and the original problem was fixed. But there might be a new problem, so I am withholding praise of their work until I get this new problem resolved. You can get an on-line estimate at the web site. The "fixed" cost for repair of my DCR-TRV70 was about $240 (including tax and return shipping). Parts were still under warranty, labor was not. It could easily have gone to $400 + with parts. A friend just bought a used camcorder on ebay to replace his old one - same model. The new one came with no accessories, which was fine because he already had all of that. I suspect this might be your most economical route. Craig "itten" wrote in message ... I have a Sony Digital 8 TRV 720 Handicam that no longer works.
