Sony Handycam DCR-SR42 Hard Drive Replacement
Introduction
The hard drive is one of the most important parts of the camera, but can be easily damaged by being shaken, exposed to liquid or extreme temperatures, or exposed to magnetic fields. The hard drive may also wear out over time. A defective or broken hard drive may prevent the camera from turning on, recording images, or connecting to a computer and transferring files. Luckily, replacing the hard drive of the DCR-SR42 is a simple procedure that will take no more than 20 minutes. However, the user should be careful when disassembling the camera in order to avoid damaging the flex cable or any other internal components of the camera. The user should also ensure that the battery is disconnected from the camera at least an hour before disassembly is attempted, since capacitors inside the camera can remain charged with electricity some time after the battery is removed. It is necessary to allow capacitors to discharge to prevent injury to the user or damage to the camera.
