Add one more to the big pile of believers. Recently I was able to fix my Sony Cybershot W5 digital camera error message by slapping it around. I was slightly incredulous. But then I got the C:31:23 error on my Sony TRV27 video camera and Google led me to this site. After slapping it around real good a few times, sure enough, it sprang back to life. While part of me is glad that I have been able to fix these problems with such a simple (although barbaric) fix, I will almost certainly never buy another Sony product after being stymied by bogus error messages like these.
