I wanted to join the ranks of the "slappin' happy" regarding Error Code C31:22. I have a Sony TVR530 (Digital 8 camcorder). I've had it for several years and it has worked fine. Recently it came up with this C31:22 error code and I could not get it to work - just lots of tones and flashing error messages. No matter how many times I reset it - no dice. I finally called Sony and they said I would have to send it in to be refurbished. It was not a problem I could fix. I got all the info and was told where to send it and that it would cost $211 PLUS shipping to them. THEN, I googled the error code and found all of you "slappin' happy" people. I went back to my camcorder, carefully slapped it in love, RESET it, and PRAISE THE LORD - it now works great. Although it has a couple other minor glitches (they do not effect its operation), I am good to go. THANKS FOR SAVING ME AT LEAST $225! Don't forget the RESET step!
