Is there an easy fix for the yellow and black ports/output jacks for the A/V cables? The problem with the ports has slowly worsened to the point where now I cannot get a picture at all on an outside monitor. (The cables themselves are NOT the problem.)
@irollanalogtech post some good images of what ports you are looking at. Right now I am assuming you are referring to the Video and Audio RCA jacks (front right side of the camera) Use this guide Adding images to an existing question for that. The ports are soldered to the PCB Sony part number A-7073-809-A. Problem is it does not look like it is available anywhere. you may have to purchase a broken camera to replace that particular (V)board. It is also not easy and requires you to disassemble your camcorder. Download the service manual for your Sony Camcorder from here
