My friend's vx2100 shows a black LCD screen with green/multicolored noise randomly being generated. The camera records this way too, so it is not just a bad LCD. DOes any one have any repair or troubleshooting ideas?

I've never heard of this problem before?

Thanks for any replies

Do the same glitches come onscreen when you play a pre-recorded tape?
Does it record good pictures on the MemoryStick? Have you played tapes recorded during the onscreen problems on another DV camcorder or VCR?
Trying these different things might help you pinpoint the problem. Good Luck.

APPARENTLY, many people have the same problem i am having and sony will repair the device free of charge.

Glad I looked around before getting it repaired at my expense.

Peace, Rolland
