    Sony CCD-TRV12 picks up a VERY DIM image

    I have a Sony CCD-TRV12 Video8 camcorder that is giving me trouble. The internal display and CRT work just fine, but the actual CCD itself is passing a very dim image. The internal CR2025 battery was dead, but otherwise fine. I also have tried all the auto exposure settings, and nothing worked. The only way I can get ANYTHING picked up is if I aim it at a bright light source(CFL light). How can I fix this? Thanks.
    Don't buy those $10 PSU "specials". They fail, and they have taken whole computers with them.

    My computer doubles as a space heater.

    Asus Q550LF (Old main laptop, 2014-2022) - Decommissioned and stripped due to a myriad of problems, the main battery bloating being the final nail in the coffin.

      Sony KD-65x7500D - double image - Tcon or Panel?
      by rimwall
      This TV was showing a fine image and pulsing with a partial double image (offset vertically) every few seconds. I taped 8 clock pins on one ribbon cable from the Tcon to the panel. It stopped the double image, but some pulsing in intensity was still visible. I then taped another 8 clock pins on the same ribbon cable and the image is now ‘fixed’. Although I understand this results in some loss of resolution, presumably because the clock signal degrades as it passes horizontally across the screen.

      I am wondering - do these symptoms and ‘fix’ mean that it’s a Tcon fault or...

      Sony XBR-65X900F black and white image on one side (fading saturation)
      by NSkyLab
      I though I've seen all possible kinds of failures but this one is new...
      Colors saturation is gradual.y fading out on the left side of the screen (all colors are fading out). While B&W image is looking good.
      I tried replacing TCon but nothing changed. So this is looking like the panel failure. Is there a chance it can be fixed?
      Any useful measured can be done on the panel's narrow pcbs? Is there may be something similar to taping trick to fix this issue?...

      Sony KV-XJ29M31 CRT TV - Very dim image on turn on
      by Dreamcazman
      Hi all, I recently picked up a Sony KV-XJ29M31 CRT TV (BG3R chassis, Australian model) cheaply & completed the RGB mux mod on it for some retro gaming. That worked great, however, I have another problem which I hope someone can help me with or at least steer me in the right direction.

      Basically, the issue is when it's cold, it takes a while (like 2 mins) for the picture to come up. I think the image is there, it's just very dark or dim. I can hear the degaussing sound & I can change inputs & hear audio but no image.

      Once it's running properly, it keeps...
