Best regards from POLAND !!!! I had the same problem and I CANNOT BELIEVE IT BUT IT WORKS MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I slapped it twice. THANKS!!!!!

i put a pillow on my knee, whacked the bottom of the camera's base twice, and WHALA! it worked! i wish i would of known about this trick earlier!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you are the best person in the world at first i was skeptical but then i decide to try it because i was about to buy a new camera so i said what the hell might as well try it so i do so and wham i am so amazed at you thanks so much

Seems to have worked for me as well ! Nothing wrong with a little slap from time to time !

YES!! It really works, when I read the first post I thought it was a joke, but after reading all the posts I thought it was worth a try, gave the camera 3 good raps on my knee from the battery end, put in the tape and voila! the camera works. Thanks again.

WooHooo!!! THANX,THANX, THANX!!! Worked great for two of my handycams. Priceless Fix

THANKS!!! This cant´t be true i thought... I was wrong. Couple of bangings on your knee is enough :) Thank u!!

I just jumped on it! It's amazing! Really works! Thanks man!

This $hit happened to me two times the first time it happened i sipmly returned it.After about 6 mounts later the 2nd camera did the same thing i was PISSED!I couldnt return it this time.I googled the error code and found this site.I didnt believe at first but i tried it. my girlfriend was laughing at me saying its not going to work. I took the battery out after 3 failed attempts i turn it on at it WORKED!!!! THANK YOU NO MONEY NEEDED

Thanks.... it´s work
