  • Sony EX3 / Completely failing to turn On / boot up –only shows “XDCAM EX” startup name in VF

    Posted by Mike Garrison on April 18, 2013 at 2:10 pm

    Hi all — just turned on my EX3 and it’s continuously just giving me the XDCAM EX welcome screen in the VF and is not transitioning after a few seconds to Cam or Media mode. I’ve tried both. And when I hit the power switch between modes, the XDCAM EX moniker doesn’t go away. Bad power switch, maybe?

    Is there a way to Re-boot at EX3? I’ve removed the batteries (U30 and U60) and reattached…but doesn’t reboot the camera, or change the situation.

    Thoughts? Help!
    Mike

    Hi all- if you have specific ideas, please let me know. But I just talked to Sony support and sounds like I’ll need to ship the cam in, and Sony will re-flash the firmware or some other such. Any other thoughts/I’ve-seen-this-before-and… please send em my way. Best, Mike

    It’s a long shot… but same thing happening when it’s powered via the socket (no batteries)? Or via a swit battery?

    Jw.
