Hi,

In last week I had buyed a second hand E60 camcorder.
The first time I try to test the camcorder the screen show the EJECT
message every time I insert a videocassette. I had changed the camcorder
function between camera and play and the result is the same. I can't
record nor read some old 8mm cassetes.

Anybody can tell me what is the true problem of that camcorder?

Thanks in the advance,

Jorge

If it isn't a mechanical problem, you can bet the capacitors have failed.
I'm amazed it still works at all, these cameras usually required re-capping
after only a few years. The E60 is a very old model now, I hope you didn't
pay much for it as it's unlikely to be worth repairing.
