Sony HDR-HC7 Handycam internal microphone problem, teardown, and repair
Ғылым және технология
The internal microphone in my Sony HDR-HC7 had a weird problem. I bought another one which promptly died on me as soon as I tried it. But luckily I was able to fix the first one by taking apart both camcorders and swapping the audio board and microphones. Now I had a fully functional HDR-HC7 and a bunch of spare parts.
Note: The HDR-HC9 is nearly identical, and the HDR-HC5 is very similar as well, so this video will pertain to those models as well.

Always awesome to see an HDV camcorder in action! Even if it was just a matter of reconnecting everything, it’s still handy to have spare parts for it. Nice to hear the audio working as intended again, it has a nice picture!
Picture quality from that old camcorder is really very good indeed! 😃 I'm happy see/hear that the microphone issue was fairly easily fixed too; the 'new' mic board/element sounds far more solid, and with less background noise, than the original dodgy one! 👍

To be fair, the high-pitched whine in the first part of the video was from my laptop's cooling fan (it was rendering a video), not from the camcorder itself.
Nice to see you were able to repair the camcorder :)
Does the box of microphones still have a label on it prohibiting their microwaving? The HDR-HC7, at least to my eyes and ears, is an outstanding camcorder. I'd use the one I have more often, but I don't want to wear it out.
Nice!
I spy a box for a Hitachi Blu-Ray hybrid camcorder!

I already showed it in my "2000s camcorders" video on my main channel.
