Mögliche Problemlösung für Sony DV Camcorder mit Fehlercode C:31:23

Manchmal will eine Sony DV CAM einfach nicht und gibt den oben genannten Fehler aus u. will die Cassette auswerfen.
So auch heute bei mir.
Nach 3h suchen im Netz hab ich es evtl. die Lösung gefunden.
Übersetzen müsst Ihr aber selbst

Ok .... I am going to go out on a limb here and tell you what I know. The errors you are talking about (for the most part) revolve around a foreign substance in the tape path or one of the travel mechanisms resulting in slower than required POST speeds (the sounds your camera makes when you turn it on)or a foreign substance on a sensor. This is often condensation which will wreak havoc with the ultra miniature electronics in your camera.
Some of you are right: Sony does indeed have a fix for it but it is not whacking the camera. This is exactly what Sony will do if you send your camera to them:

Open the tape door
Remove all sources of electrical power
Blow out the compartment with CLEAN, DRY, FILTERED AIR.
Replace the Tape
Replace the power
turn it on and test it.
If it works they send it back with a bill for $200.

If not they follow the above steps again except they disassemble the case and blow it out.

When you whack the camera (I don't advise it) you are probably loosening the debris or condensation enough to get the camera going. The reason for the battery removal is to reset the camera so old error codes are wiped and to get them again the problem must recur. If you take the batteries out and put them back in with positive results the movement involved in doing this probably serves as well as whacking it (sometimes just turning it over a few times will work). I have in fact seen with my very eyes, repair people (independent not at Sony) take a camera in, wait until the customer was out the door, take the main battery off, whack the camera VERY HARD and turn it back on. This has worked so many times I am embarrassed to mention it. They then put the camera on the shelf for a couple of days and call the customer back and charge them for a complete (and expensive) cleaning. The camera was usually fixed before they got to the car. I would offer you some simple advice (from experience and observation) that you may take or not at your own risk. Understand that anything you do in an attempt to fix your own camera may result in complete failure and irrepairable damage to your camera, including anything I mention here. Just be forewarned.

My Advice:
Do the same thing Sony does.
Pretty simple? Not exactly. There are rules you MUST follow:

DO NOT (I repeat) DO NOT (Just to make sure) DO NOT USE THOSE LITTLE CANS OF COMPRESSED AIR!!! They are WAY too cold for the heads and drives in the camera and although they contain drying agents the fact that they are cold will cause condensation on all but the coldest days in Buffalo NY. If you use this solution I GUARANTEE you will eventually destroy your camera. Maybe not the first time but certainly the second or third (Oh yes if you own a Sony, you will be doing this more than once).
If you use compressed air from a tank or compressor (I have one of those Air Brush compressors) it needs to have a filter with a dessicant (drying agent of course) in the path the air takes to the nozzle. There are inexpensive Air Brush compressors that work great for this kind of stuff. If you have a bigger compressor in your garage or tool shed, buy the filter ... it really doesn't cost much and it is worth it in the end.

Next: It doesn't take a hurricane! If you go down to the local Texaco and use the air hose you use to inflate your tires, bring a dustpan and a broom cause the manager is gonna make you clean up the camera parts once you blow your $300 bundle of joy all over his lot. I may exaggerate a bit on this point but high speed air will blow the crap out of the inside of your camera and ruin it with no mercy whatsoever (is that a word?). a few pounds is PLENTY ... My Air Brush compressor blows just about as hard as I can with my breath (do I need to say you should also not blow into it with your mouth? Yeah I guess I do .. almost nothing is moister than the air coming out of your mouth .. since Moisture is the killer of these units .. don't blow in it .. please?).

Never stick a que tip in your camera. Leaving a strand of cotton inside will only frustrate you further with the same error code.

To Recap:
-open tape door
-take out batteries
-LIGHTLY blow out the campartment
-CLEAN DRY AIR ( say it with me " I WILL NOT USE CANNED AIR")
-replace batteries and try it out
This has worked for years in shops all around the world. It really is not a plot by Sony .. they just make their cameras so they will stop operating in all but the optimum circumstance so the camera will not be damaged further. If this is a fault or a virtue ... ? Ehhh ... you have to decide that for yourself. I hope this helps some people. Remember, if you destroy your camera, it's your fault for trying to fix it instead of taking it to a professional (They whack with a practiced and steady hand). I also want to note that EVERYTHING mentioned in this thread, voids your warranty.

p.s. If this doesn't work ... you may want to just whack it a few times.
(Me Mongo ... me fix TV with big big whack whack)

Ich habe vorher alles probiert.
Lange den Accu ab und ein paar Schläge.
Nichts half.
Sony sagt eine Reingungscassette verwenden.No way.
Dann habe ich den Fön genommen, weil ich keinen Kompressor mit Luftfilter da hatte und ungeduldig war.
Beim zweiten mal richtig fönen mit kalter Luft war der Fehler weg.
Aber als ich dann wieder eine Fuji Cassette einlegte war C:31:23 wieder da.
Wahrscheinlich hatte sie einen BandFehler gerade an der Stelle.
Habe sie kurz mit der Hand weitergespult dann ging sie auch.
Jetzt funzt die gute DCR PC120 erstmal wieder.
Viel spass beim Probieren.
