ArmyMedic 0 #1 July 20, 2007 We started having a problem with our Sony PC110 this week. It just came back from Sony after getting the LANC chip replaced (Cam Eye Port). Now the camera will not fire up, and when it does it will shut itself down after a few seconds. It seems to be hit and miss wether it will fire up at all. It has been on the charger for hours, and even when I put a new battery on it that does not help. I am not getting any error messages, it just does not want stay on! Has anyone had this problem and been able to fix it, or have any ideas? I have tried the reset button and scrolled through the menu, all to no avail...Please help!"This is better than sex, and cheaper too!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bomb420 1 #2 July 20, 2007 Sounds like a FPC cable (those flat clear cables) was not properly reinserted. Unfortunately to get to the LANC connector you must pretty much disconnect most of the PCBs (printed circuit boards) on the camera itself. I would send it back to the repair company. A quick simple thing I would check is remove the single screw and cover underneath the battery. Ensure that connector is properly seated. Use a watch screwdriver not to muck up the screw. Other than that, there really is not a LANC chip. What tends to happen 90% of the time is the GND lead of the PCB cracks. A little 28gauge wire bridging that tends to fix it.

Thanks for the tips and we will ensure that the repair crew hears about it from us!"This is better than sex, and cheaper too!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
