I need the help of the Fediverse! We have two old camcorders that have been sitting around for ages and I am trying to resurrect them.

One is a Canon, it works great but the tape mechanism doesn't fully open, it raises up but the second part doesn't move out to allow tape entry.

The second, a Sanyo, works but just shuts down after around 5 seconds.

Both are powered off the mains using their factory chargers so it's not a battery issue.

Anyone with any ideas?

Thanks, Sammi

Es ist an der Zeit wieder ein paar Archivaufnahmen vorzukramen. ^^
Hier beim Filmen mit meinem Mini-DV Camcorder. :)

there isn't anything quite like buying brand new VHS-C tapes in 2026! :D ready to get more modern-retro footage at the next furry convention...

Update: I bought the battery for the camera this was intended for, expecting to receive it tomorrow.

If this proves to not be a dud, I will get back to the replies and see how it goes.

I know this is a massive call, but does anyone on the Fediverse know anyone who still sells Mini-DV tapes, preferably in #melbourne (Australia)?

These were the last two photos I took with my Panasonic SDR-H85 camcorder. I was really bummed out as it broke at the start of my trip and I still have no clue what caused it to die. Still pretty sad about it. Does anyone have an Idea what might've caused it to die? I'm pretty certain the blurry picture was taken whilst it was dying and the other picture was after I couldn't see anything on my screen anymore. The Completely black picture was taken the same day to try and see if, after exporting media, it still worked. Clearly not as there is nothing on there

More Info on how it died:
I was taking photos but suddenly my screen started losing colour and fading away. For a while it still started up but nothing was visible on the display and after a couple of days it didn't want to turn on anymore.

A boost would be appreciated if it can help my post appear in communities which might know the answer.
