Hey, I have a Sony Vx1000 and a problem with it started to occur.  When
I turn it on the screen is dark and you can make out some what of a
picture.  It just doesn't get bright.  I don't think it's the heads,
but I'm not sure.  I was wondering if anyone knows what the problem is.

If it records OK on the tape then most likely it is the ribbon cable to
the viewfinder. There are instructions on-line for replacing it
yourself if you are brave.
