Problem - Sony HDR-SR11 camcorder got wet

[jeffdeg]

Hi,

I have a Sony HDR-SR11 Camcorder that will not record when I select the record button. It got wet when I was filming Niagara falls and the water was too much.

I was able to download the video from the camcorder that was recorded prior to this problem. When I turn on the camcorder all other functions seem to work except the record and playback. I formatted the hard drive and still no record. Also, after I try to record using the record button, the off switch will not turn off the camera, the hard drive seems to spin. When I turn it back to the on position it stops spinning. I have to remove the battery to shut it off. If I turn the camera on and then turn it off, it turns off fine.

I have the service manual with all the parts listed and cannot determine if one of the cards or wire strips went bad. I could buy the replacement part and repair myself.

Does anyone have any experience with troubleshooting this?

Thanks, Jeff

There is almost no way to know exactly what the issue is without a service tech going over the device in person and testing them.
