Sony Handycam DCR-SR42 Flex Cable Replacement

Introduction

The Flex Cable transmits data to the screen. It may be broken if the camera appears to be working, however the display screen shows pixelated lines.You can repair the LCD Display by removing the broken Flex Cable and replacing it with a new one.

Replacing the Flex Cable of the DCR-SR42 is a simple procedure that will take no more than 45 minutes. However, the user should be careful when disassembling the camera in order to avoid damaging the flex cable or any other internal components of the camera. The user should also ensure that the battery is disconnected from the camera at least an hour before disassembly is attempted, since capacitors inside the camera can remain charged with electricity some time after the battery is removed. It is necessary to allow capacitors to discharge to prevent injury to the user or damage to the camera.

Dear sir,

in step 20, there is a small switch at in flex cable...

where do need to place?

Please help.

Hey,

I'm not too sure. Try just pushing it back in.

Peter Kurapati -

At step 20, both cable contacts in the sound and screen chip are not fixed. They need to be carefully pulled out of the connector.

switch cable solution:

1. cable with switch goes to TOUCH the round rod so that the metal part will go near to rod.

there is a special slot made to that rod (so that it is not round from one place! take a look and find it) and thin metal sheet will hold it in place from outside and so do plastic covers. switch itself will touch the MIDDLE short rod that goes to lcd screen.

2. see pictures from 6 minutes and forward from youtube video called “Sony Handycam DCR-SR200E LCD Flip Screen Cable Replacement” ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3slJNT68...). this helped me.
