I was experimenting with a shot the other day and dropped my camera from about a foot off the ground. It seemed to be fine, but something is wrong with my loading dock. When I put a tape in, it makes all sorts of weird noises. The word TAPE flashes on the screen, and the tape gets fastforwarded on its own. Two of my tapes have had the film tangled up and wouldn't come out of the dock. I got a head cleaner today and thought that might do something, but it didn't. Anybody have any idea whats wrong here?

if it never had that problem before you dropped it, then the impact it had when you dropped it (no matter how hard it would have been) probably dislodged an essential component that aids in rotating the heads. If the head cleaner didn't work, it's time to get the camera checked out.

Yeah, sounds like something internal that you may want to get repaired professionally.

yeah, it's broken. i dropped one of my cameras once, and it was cheaper to just replace it, however it was a 300 dollar camera, not a 1300 dollar one. i hope you're as fortunate as me in that it's not a camera that costs as much as a used car.

Well if it wasnt like that before you dropped it then for sure something happened from the impact EVEN IF it only dropped a foot off the ground...
You better get that thing checked before it gets worst...

Already ordered a new camera Well my dad did anyway...i think it's a Sony TRV280
