Hope somebody will see this. The battery in my Sony DVR-SR47 corroded (and the contacts in the camera) and I can’t get it to charge or turn on. It has so many special videos on it, I’m desperate to save them somehow. I also have a friend’s SR68 (copying the videos to DVD for her) and I’m wondering if there’s any way I could make a Frankenstein camcorder out of the 2 of them? Specifically, put the SR47 hard drive into the functioning SR68. I know I can replace one drive with a bigger one, but it sounds like you need to format it to install it. That kind of defeats the whole purpose of rescuing my videos. My other thought was to try to transplant her working battery section to mine? I’m at a loss, I’d really appreciate any help. And are you seriously at WCU? We live by Everhart Park, crazy! Thx- Elizabeth ekmshops@gmail.com
