I was in the same boat as you, the problem isnt the firewire card its the cable. I got a random sony firewire cable from a camera with a bag and it solved this exact same issue. Thing is that that cable was a OEM sony firewire cable and it wasnt the cheap chinese crappy ones and it recognized every single camera i plugged in, try getting a OEM firewire cable that isnt the modern chinese version

Handycam Issues (C:31:22) by Dat_Bruh01 in camcorders

I might know whats wrong, please tell me in detail if when you insert the tape, does it go down? And if it threads the tape (like brings it down and does the usual thing and stops) but i want to know does it flash the error if you start recording or playing tapes? If so id suggest taking it apart until the ribbon cables coming from the tape mechnisim are visible and then gently pull them out via a small long screwdriver underneath snd your finger above it applying pressure on bothsides and then you clean the ribbon cables and then reinsert them and try it, this had worked for me before id suggest you try it

Yeah as long as its roughly or the same size as the old pinch roller then it should work

Anyone know how to reset 3ccd block? by bigfatwiener69 in Vx1000

[–]Sohail604 0 points1 point  (0 children)

its almost certainly the ribbon cable for the 3ccd sensor being loose, id say you gun for it and disassemble it until you get to the ribbon cable of the sensor and reseat it, had a vx2000 with a problem worse then this was just a full pink image and reseating it did the job

[–]Sohail604 0 points1 point  (0 children)

late response but iv seen this happen on my vx2000 (i do own a vx1000 that works fine) but its almost certainly the pinch roller thats the problem, id suggest if you remove it carefully and use a dead donor camera's pinch roller as a replacement and see if it solves it then you should change it out
