I just wanted to say you are great!!! I have a Sony VX2100 and was lost on what to do when it gave me an error and would not eject my tape. Thinking about how much it would cost to repair made me cringe. Thanks to you I have removed the tape and my camera works again. Again Thanks!!!!!
Thank you very much. I am going to give this a go. If you have never taken a multi part item apart before? This man makes it look easy. IT CAN BE and is if you take your time and pay close attention. Working with small parts and even smaller screws can test your sanity. Do this at a table on a towel and a time when you wont have little hands trying to help you out.This goes with anything that requires your complete attention. A pair of long straight or angled tweezers is a must if you have big fingers ,really you should have some anyway. They turn a hour into thirty mins labor wise. Trying to get a dropped screw out of the guts.That tweezers would of placed the screw into its hole from the start? Can end up looking like erasing a Etcher Sketch and that wire ribbon wont take much abuse before you have to buy another one off of ebay. lol. I must caution the use of strong magnets to hold the screws though. A magnet near any video or audio cassettes and their recording devices. Using them to hold the small screws especially the ones that hold the black cassette cover on. Risk turning these into magnets themselves. Though small and perhaps ok. A magnetic field could be created between the two. Enough to lower the quality of the video and audio of the cassette. Direct case contact will cause a fading in and out of the audio to the audio having white noise through the entire recording. The video likewise can look as if the tracking is off. But is actual damage to the recording. To entire loss of portions of the video. Again that small tray is probably ok. But any loss of quality is loss of quality. It could cause one to think the problem lies else where. When all along a strong enough magnetic field was created to disrupt the recording heads. It does not take much to lose quality. Magnets are truly amazing things. A screw in a mechanical watch. That came in contact with a magnetized screwdriver? Thus magnetizing the screw just the tiniest amount? Can cause the watch to lose or gain time. To the point unless the thought of possible magnet contact is came too? The cost of repair becomes astronomical. Though most watch repair men will or should try demagnetizing the movement from the start. To be safe I would use a small square of card stock or cardboard with holes pushed into it to hold the screws. When working with several different lengths of screws this can also aid in where they were located when putting the item back together. A small drawing of the item with the screws at the locations they belong. Will keep one from putting a screw that is to long into a place that breakthrough could cause irreparable damage to the unit. Trust me I saw a man run a bolt that was to long into a aluminum engine block. The bolt went into the coolant jacket and caused it to leak coolant where it had no reason to ever even be leaking. So keeping up with what screw goes where from the start. Can and will save time and headache there at the end of the repair. Again Thank you for the video Sir. Iv been meaning to check the UTUBE for a idea of help. But like finishing my book on procrastination? Iv been putting off delving into the Whatsamattayou with the camcorder. Lord knows it cost enough years ago. I used it twice. Then It stopped ejecting and has set for a while . That even though near being completely obsolete . It still is good enough with proper Format conversion having some good life left in it.
Is the wrist strap something that can be replaced? I have a vx2100 and the strap is beat. The cam is like perfect. I was thinking about buying a broke vx and replacing the strap but i didnt know if it was possible and how easy would it be for someone that has never worked on one.
Hello, could you give advice: my PD170 began to scratch films. In first look, film channel is clean and doesn't have any damages. I will be very glad to have an advice. Thanks.

i did all this,there is maybe a minimum tape left that i can't pull out and it won't eject the casette when i press eject...the camera just makes the initial sound but it doesnt open, can you help pls :) i have sony vx 2100
Exactly, do you have a camcorder like this? I have a vx2100 that had a jammed tape. I took it apart like this and it ejected the tape. I think I got lucky though. I was hoping there would be some sort of manual release inside the camcorder but I guess there isn't.
You can use a little voltage on the motor to make the tape eject. I did this with two AA batteries and two copper wires. No need to cut the tape shown in this video.@@thedadtris
Thank you a lot, because of you i could fix my vx2000. Repairing it was quite fun and i saved at least 80 bucks
yo thank you so much for this tutorial I just brought my vx 2100 back from the dead because of this video ! THANK YOU!

The video tape is the most valuable thing . How do you stop the camera from jamming and destroying the tape?
