Sony Handycam CCD - malfunctioning - Black Screen

Jan 1, 2006 2:30AM PST

I've had my Sony handycam for about five years. Took the best care, and has been working perfectly, then about a month ago the screen went BLACK! It's not a pure blac screen but a fuzzy black screen when I want to record. I can play back movies perfectly.

Also when I hook it up to the TV, it still gives the same picture of the screen.

Is there any way that i could possibly fix this problem myself. I tried Sony, but because its five years past its warranty, they won't help.
