MagicGuy 0 #1 November 9, 2007 Hey guys.. I've been having some issues with my PC9. After letting my buddy borrow it for a day (Yo PJizzle!) the camera started acting up. As soon as I put a tape in it it starts beeping at me, showing the eject sign, and giving me a signal C:31:22. I've tried different tapes, tried taking the battery in and out.. nothing. Any suggestions? The camera has been very well taken care of, never dropped or anything, and doesn't appear to be dirty on the inside. I don't want to get rid of my camera! I love her.. Thanks guys.

howardwhite 6 #6 November 10, 2007 Hmm... I tried that on your PC9 (without telling you) and nothing happened. I guess I didn't hit it hard enough. HW Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pre7117 0 #8 November 10, 2007 I smacked mine 6 months ago and the guide wheel came off. The code you get is a stuck guide wheel and it wont feed the tape. I put the spool back on and it worked but decided to send it for repairs. $200.00 to replace the wheel. I guess I hit it too hard and it got pissed.

My HC42 has been sitting in closet for a few weeks now. Everything had a green/red tint during a skydive... it was intermittent green at first, jiggle the camera and it would go away. Then all was green/red and it wouldn't go away. So I upgraded camera. Tonight I read this thread and figured why not try it. 1 good smack to the HC42 and the colors are right again. No telling how long it'll last tho Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

docjohn 0 #12 November 12, 2007 At least a C:xx.xx error is supposedly a user fixable error (see attached). It may be a sticky take up reel or similar problem. Doc http://www.manifestmaster.com/video Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
