quade 3 #2 November 7, 2003 There's no way to accidentally turn off the FireWire. It's probably just broken. Have you had this camera its entire "life" or did you buy it used?quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Have you had this camera its entire "life" or did you buy it used? ok, that's what i thought. and no, i bought it used. but the port worked when i got it, i have had it for about a year and a half now. does anyone know what kind of price i may be looking at to get it fixed?? later Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YahooLV 0 #4 November 7, 2003 Sometimes, believe it or not, if you change the firewore ends around, turn off your camera, and then restart it, it might work. I've run into this problem several times while D.L. ing for a DVD. Give it a shot, if it doesn't work, send it in for a fix up!http://www.curtisglennphotography.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
quade 3 #5 November 7, 2003 Check http://products.sel.sony.com/SEL/service/service.html When entering in the model number, enter the full model number of DCRTRV11. Here's the responce I got back.
