That's the same kind of camera it is. It's my friends, and I was riding with it, dropped it, and now it doesn't work. It keeps saying to eject tape and won't let me record anything, but the lcd and everything still works. Whenever I take the tape out it goes kinda slow, did I mess something up on the inside? I'm guessing this isn't something I can fix, but I'm hoping to be pleasantly surprised.

if all its saying is eject tape something in the tape mechanism is probably fucked up, if theres anything else it could be dirty heads but since you dropped it and it hasn't worked since you probably knocked something outa place or broke something in the tape mech

Oh alright thanks Andy for the info . Alex I guess there is no way to fix it then. Id ask boston if I was you.

 

[johnmattes]

its not worth it to pay to have that fixed imo

 

[Steezeman]

Yeah, but it's my friend's haha. I'll take it to a camera place or something and see how much it would be. If it's too much then whatever.

 

[Lil Steve]

Yeah, I tried to ride down a bank with it on a tripod, and the bank was super steep and had no tranny so I fell. I felt really really stupid.
