billvon 3,006 #1 November 3, 2009 My HDR-HC1 died; I am pretty sure it's just the cable between the touch screen and the main board. Sony wants $515 to fix it. For that price I could just get a new CX100 but I've grown really attached to the HC1. Does anyone have any recommendations for a non-official Sony service place that they've had good results with? This is probably a $80 repair if it's what I think it is. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DSE 5 #2 November 3, 2009 TV Specialists in SLC, Utah is good. I've used CamcorderRepair.com once, they did a good job on a Canon GL1 for a fair price. http://camcorderrepair.com/estimate.php HTH Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
humbled1 0 #3 November 5, 2009 After getting a riduculous quote from a local repair shop here in Elsinore, regarding a dead LCD on my HC5 ($380; $280 of that labor) I found these guys: http://www.alamocamera.com/ I have since had the camera repaired for $165 including parts, labor, and return shipping. They also did a complete cleaning as part of the repair. I know another jumper from Elsinore just sent in a Sony to the same company for repair. Good luck...."Tell ya the truth, I don't think this is a brains kind of operation." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
