Heat is a big enemy of all things such as this. I would suggest finding a good service center. Is the unit still under warranty? If not, consider that a new DCR-HC36 is around $350 nd the 26 which replaced your camcorder is somewhat less. Factor replacement cost agauinst repair if that becomes necessary.
Hi everyone, I am having a problem with my camcorder, the screen is not showing anything. I noticed the problem after I put it under my car seat.
The cam was under the seat for about 2hrs and my car was in the sun, "I am from the Caribbean by the way" I think the heat in the car caused that. but it can also the me driving around with it for about 2hrs under the seat of my car.
I would like to know if I can get a replacement part for it and if I can where can I find one. I would apreaciate any replies that anyone can give to me concerning the issue.
Thank you.
