Got this in from the cold! Got this in from the cold! Click to expand.The E60, like many camcorders of that generation, was notorious for faulty electrolytic capacitors. I still have an old E110 lying around (basically a stereo E60 IIRC) which started to get bad caps and I eventually decided to write it off. Which caps should you replace? All of them- I kid you not! It's a huge job for someone without the experience or tools for surface mount work and not worthwhile on something that old.

There may be a fault elsewhere causing your problems, but my bet is the caps are your source of trouble. You might be able to spot the worst culprits by careful sniffing around the PCBs- the bad caps usually stink of rotting fish and sometimes visibly leak fluid onto the PCB. If this is left unattended to it will rot the PCB traces and eventually render the PCB unrepairable.
