How to repair Sony camera DSC-HX20V - focus problem(dust inside)

[@janbeer2679]

Thank you guys. With this video I dared to repair my wife's camera, which had problems with autofocus and the command wheel at the back. It seems that all defects were only caused by dust and sand from the beach. Now, everything works great again.

and how did you un-solder and re-solder the two tiny plastic ribbon cables at exactly? (at 5:15 but it's been cut from the video)

[@TadeuszMarkiton]

Unbelievable! It works! I fixed the camera! Many thanks!!! 🙏

[@DIGISERVICEBG]

Thank you :)

and how did you deal with the 2 tiny plastic ribbon cables that are soldered on to another exactly? (at 5:15 and 8:45 but it's been cut from the video every time)

hello I have this model and zooming it makes a noise but the photos and videos are good I think it can be a problem

[@xandebikes]

what do you think?

[@stfuplsok]

@@xandebikes well, the uploader doesn't know either. lol

[@maheshshinde2149]

Even i am also facing this issue... Can you please tell me how you resolved this issue?

[@viniciusmv7727]

It's exactly what's being resolved here

[@unperrier5998]

@@viniciusmv7727 well he did not show the issue resolved as I think he broke the optics. You see at 5:15 and 8:45 he skipped and hide how he's dealt with two tiny plastic ribbon cables that are soldered together. It's near impossible to unsolder without melting either cable, so I suspect he has cut this failed attempt from the video and just cut them off. That's why he did not show at the end of the video whether the camera optics were working at all.

very annoying music - sorry...

[@unperrier5998]

don't be worry it's not your poor choice of music.

I still use this camera..After two years of use a loud noise came from the camera everytime I turned it on. I brought it back to camera shop but Sony wanted more money to fix the camera than what I bough it for. I understand the sound is coming from from the lens and is a regular problem with this type of camera.

[@DIGISERVICEBG]

Hi, send the lens to us and we can fix it . Thank you!

[@sentimentaloldme]

@DIGISERVICEBG Thank you.. but as the camera is now many years old it's not worth fixing...Yesterday I tried it again..No noise but it came back again a few hours later..It is still a good camera..The optical stabilization is very good on it..This is the video I recorded with the camera yesterday..kzbin.info/www/bejne/hmfMYWtmip2WrtEsi=byfW0zEqP5GgasO_

Hi i have Sony DSC-HX50V think they are similar, but i can't zoom and the camera was always trying to track i can even hear the little engine clickin but i can shoot the photo, any advice please, thanks.

[@DIGISERVICEBG]

Hi , you need to check first the zoom motor(all the gears) and then the lens barrels. May be there is a sand inside or foreign objects.Regards!

[@asoollolo9195]

I have the same camera but it started to give noise while shouting..! Does anyone has an idea to fix it?

[@sentimentaloldme]

It's a major problem with this camera. The sound is coming from the lens mechanism of the camera..Sending it to Sony is not an option. The only way I seem to get rid of it for a period of time is by stretching by finger out and touching the top portion of the lens..Also turning the camera upside down helps..The other major problem is dust getting on the lens/sensor of the camera..I'm still using it after 11 years but only on the odd occasion. Phone camera is much better and nothing goes wrong.

[@stfuplsok]

better use a White background working table/area instead of that black one for clarity and easy to see/find if something goes amiss i.e. tiny part/s.

[@DIGISERVICEBG]

Hi and thank you for the advice. I have tried but is not good to filming :)I have idea with grey board and .. you will see it in nearest future :)

This noisy music sucks.

[@DIGISERVICEBG]

Imion Nazwiskon hi and thank you for your time :) if you don’t like the music , just mute it;)

[@imionnazwiskon9786]

@@DIGISERVICEBG Good job with repairing but there is no feng shui with music ;) Maybe more chill out would be nicer for such tiny precise mechanics. Just idea. Keep up good workig!

[@unperrier5998]

@@imionnazwiskon9786 I agree, the music is annoying.

The plastic aside the camera has to be swiped down, anyway the frontal frame doesn't come out, probably glued
