Yes! but maybe you could state exactly what model of camcorder you are referring to, plus please note the following advice. --------------------------------------------------------------------- It should be pointed out that the info is really in two stages the first being the dew sensor cleaning procedure, however should this procedure fail then the only option left is the second and more complex task of disabling the dew sensor circuit. Anyone thinking on this though please observe!!. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - AN IMPORTANT POINT CONCERNING THE MODIFICATION - The instructions given are really aimed at technically minded people of a "practical" nature who are acquaint at working on smaller electro-mechanical devices of a precision nature or who have a flair for this sort of thing, and so in the interests of not making the situation any worse I would strongly advise anyone who does not really come into that category "NOT" to attempt this work, as it not only involves case separation but the disconnecting of two ribbon cables for accessing under the main PCB, it is also necessary to carry out the precision soldering of two "very" narrowly spaced PCB pins so a quality fine tipped soldering iron is also absolutely essential, plus of course having good soldering skills to use same. Taking the above into consideration the qualification mentioned is really a MUST!! It should be emphasised that there are "NO" shortcuts into permanently getting over this problem other than what's been aforementioned, as if the "no dismantling" dew sensor cleaning procedure doesn't help but the "partial dismantling" memory reset "does", even this can only really be adopted as a stop gap measure as the CPU could lock up again at some point in time and indeed in many cases does exactly that!
