How to repair a loose Power Switch on Sony HXR-NX70U Camcorder?

[iKokomo]

My workhorse Sony HXR-NX70U has a developed an issue with the power button.

If I turn on the switch and physically hold it hard to the on position, the camera works. However, if I let go of the power switch (it is still in the on position) the camera shuts down.

It seems like you can wiggle the switch, so it seems to be a bit loose.

How do I repair the loose power switch on this camera so I can get it back up and running? (as a note, I have tried contact cleaner)


Thanks a lot!

You treat your stuff like crap evidently. What did you do, throw it down the stairs?

The switch will need replacing entirely and that will be circuit level board repair so unless you're up for that DIY you'll need to take it to a repair shop. If you are, you will need a lot of gear, well in excess of what the camera is worth or the potential professional fix cost.

Your call.
