Oh My God!!!! The bash method works. I've had an old Hi8 Sony Handicam sitting in a drawer upstairs for the past 2 to 3 years. I had the infamous E 61:00 error as well, which is the reason why I threw it in the drawer and bought a new one. I saw it in there, remembered the error message and typed it in Google and your post came up about giving it a good smack down. I did it, the screen went out after a few good ones and then when I powered it back up it worked. Well done. We'll see how long it lasts but for now it seems to be working just fine.
