Re: Sony CCD-V5000E from Italy

Hello everyone,
I'm writing from Italy and I'm bringing up this thread because I have a camera exactly like yours schmatzler, which suddenly stopped working a couple days ago.
It powers up, the PCM and Hi-Fi LEDs lights both work, the screen does too, but after a few seconds it all powers off. The cassette holder doesn't open anymore and the viewfinder is dark.
The one thing I noticed is that when I press eject, the LEDs which have begun to fade off, lighten up again, but the camera goes OFF in a matter of seconds anyway.
