how hard exactly is this wack? i have the same problem, tried it slightly, but no result... i got the problem becouse it fell onto this barrell... anyy specific details..extra information will be helpfull

Worked great. Took at total of six bangs... Two medium with my hand, two on the table against the lens barrel, and two last bangs against the table on the back of the camera on the LCD side (battery removed). ROFL!

2 bonnes claque de suite sur l'objectif coté gauche quand on tiens la caméra comme pour filmer, caméra éteinte et c'est reparti youuhoouuu,ou comment éviter 900€ HT de réparation (changer l'objectif) coooooooooooool

I have beat the bag out of my F717 and this has not changed the E:61:10 error. Has anyone else had the same experience ? I talked to Sony tonight and they tell me it's a 200+ flat rate to fix it :) TY Ghetto

I thought this was the craziest thing I ever heard of...until I tried it! I have a Sony DSC-P52. I just spent about 15 minutes tapping and whacking at different angles and velocities and surfaces (while turned off). Finally I slammed it down hard (it wasn't doing me any good as it was, so I figured I had nothing to lose...) on our solid wood dining table, just flat on the base. The memory stick went flying across the floor, but when I finally got it all back together...no error message and no clicking noise when I use the zoom. Woo hoo! Thanks!

Can't believe it worked... thanks internet and ppl that post on forums ^^

Wow, I just did the same thing- whacked my camera a couple of times and now the error is gone! Yeahhhh Thank you and saved me a repair cost!

Thanks all - 2 smacks worked for me - could not find anything from Sony! - bet they charge a fortune to repair it - I hope it lasts and doesnt stick again! Many Thanks again - sometime force does work ;-)

My Sony DCR-DVD106 Handycam DVD Camcorder started to have the following messge flashing E:61:10, can anyone help me out?

It really does work, even for a T3. 2 smacks with the LCD side on my upper leg. Make sure you wear pants, it really hurts hitting your bare leg wearing shorts!
