Hello to you all, I'm very very new to this and need a bit of advice, I have a Sony Handycam DCR-HC14E, which I bought some time ago, it hasn't been used for a while, until I got it out the other day and it won't film anything, the LCD and the Viewfinder are both black in colour when trying to record anything, but it will play old recorded tapes, can someone tell me what the problem seems to be or do I need to bin it and buy a new one.

 Many Thanks

Wayne
