SONY DCR-HC30E Problem

by Sway Nov 15, 2004 1:09AM PST

Hello all
I have a problem with my cam. When I connect it via a firewire to my PC, it shoud be detected at once, nut it is not. And the problem is, that when I connected the cam for very first time, it worked, it was detected. And now, after 20 days I want to use it again, but my windows XP can't recognize it. I've tryed so many things, removing the FireWire hardware, I've tested the cable, re-installing windows, reinstalling all drivers (which are not needed to run the cam), removing the DVD-RAM and try the cam (maybe some conflicts) and so many stupid things... I realy need some help! Please If anyone know where is the problem, tell! Thanks and sorry for the bad english.

The replies are not your replies and don't seem to be mirrored, duplicated or unhelpful.

I see other discussions out there about that model. Try those and while that is your post, I also see good replies there.

So it turned out that my cam's firewire port is not working. That means when I connect the cam with PC, the PC wont recognize it ... and the cam needs repair!
If anyone have the same problem, the firewire port is damaged...
