    As many others have said... DUDE! YOU ABSOLUTELY ROCK! December 2020, and this video saved the day. I searched for C:31:22, and boom, you have the perfect video. Took me all of 10 minutes to find the little black roller stuck at the bottom (which I wouldn't have known was down there) and put it back on that post with some needlenose pliers. The Internet delivers something positive for a change. I hope this random comment finds you well, and thank you for spreading some good.

Thanks again.

    it's supposed to have a little plastic stopper that goes in between the roller and the pin but if it doesnt have it you'll have to either get something like it or deal with the roller falling off every so often.

    Wow, I am very impressed!! My camera stopped working correctly and was showing the error code which you described. I watched your video, discovered that my roller was missing as you described. I got a flashlight and saw the roller stuck way down in the bottom of the camera. I nudged it out with a long skinny screw driver, installed the roller back where it belonged wit a pair of hemostat pliers and, good as new!!! Thanks a million!!!

I watched your video today and pulled the pinch roller out of the 250 and stuck it in the 240 and it worked. Saved my camera. Thanks so much for the video!

    Yeah, if I remember right, Sony cheaped out on the later tape mechanisms, especially on the pinch rollers. The mounting tube will sometimes come off (but sometimes, like with yours, just the roller will fall off). Generally it's best to remove what was there and use something like the end of a pen's ink tube as a replacement mount, but it mostly depends on the severity of the situation. I had exactly the same thing happen to my TRV27 MiniDV tape camera and the end of an ink pen made the roller stay in place. Records and plays just fine now.
