I say this because something went right for me.

We have a Sony TRV 30 Mini dv that we have had for 3 years or so, and I love to use it, so of course it's no longer available.

But for the last year or so the lens has been getting really loose, as in I thought it was going to fall off at anytime and since we have to use a wide angle lens that's made it worse since the wide angle is heavy as hell.

I finally broke down and took it in 2 days ago and they wanted $240 to even look at it but I was only willing to spend $100 since we paid $1200 3 years ago for the camera.

So today I bought some small screwdrivers for $6 and reluctantly I took the casing apart and low and behold it was just 3 loose screws that took me all of 1 min to tighten.

So I spent total 15 mins and $6 on a $240 fix job.

Damn thing even works still.......

SCARY!
