Sony TS-600 camcorder repair manuals or schematics??

Answer 1

Because of the complexity of these little toys, chances are you will not be able to find any repair manuals or schematics available for the consumer. This is why your user's manual states that you should take it to an authorized service representative for repairs.

I damaged my Sony DSC F717 during Mardi Gras in New Orleans a few years ago in the press of revelers on Bourbon St., and the flash wouldn't pop up. I searched for parts on all of Sony's web sites, only to learn that "they are not available to the consumer."

The authorized service rep wanted $400 to repair it, which is half the cost of the camera when it was new, so I tinkered with it myself until I got it to function. It's still scratched, but it works. I am however an electronics tech, so it was easier for me than it might be for someone with little or no electronics experience.

I would recommend that you take your camera to an authorized service rep, or since these small electronics devices are often considered "throw away items," and often cost as much to repair them as it does to replace them, just get a new one.
