Hi - I have a Sony DCR-PC1000E which I have had a couple of years but use relatively infrequently. I pulled it out today and the lens cover would not open. The error message on the screen suggests turning on and off but to no avail.

I'm guessing it needs to go in for repair but was keen to hear if anyone else has had a similar experience and if so what the cost etc. was? I am based in west London W9 so any advice on where to go would be much appreciated as well.

Many thanks!
Matthew :)

Ours did the same about a month ago. After a quick shake(of the cam!) it fixed it.

Now it has happened again. I have tried the 'shake' method again, but to no avail. What happened to yours?

Any quick fix?

Thanks
Steve
 
Hi Steve - a quick fix but the more expensive one - I ended up sending it to Sony who fixed the motor. Can't remember how much exactly but about £150....

Cheers,
Matthew
