Hi folks. I've inherited an old Sony DCR-TRV145E that I've never used. My problem is that no picture is shown in the viewfinder or on the LCD screen when in record or playback mode. I can get audio, but no video. Yes, the lenscap is off :).

Occassionally, the blank displays will show very faint horizontal bands of static or more prominent horizontal white bands. This will be very intermittent and will only last for a second or so. I've downloaded the manual for it, but it doesn't mention this problem. The only thing I can think of is that there's probably some kind of ribbon cable between the lens and the camera 'workings' that could be faulty???
 
Wow, that's pretty amazing. How are people just able to answer stuff like this so quick???

I'll be calling that number. Hopefully, it's still valid as I see it's dated three years ago.
