Sony HDR-FX1 firewire port repair

UPDATE: This part # is A-1073-874-A FP-964 BOARD, COMPLETE and can be bought online for about . Thanks to Highlight0427 for finding it. My camera became difficult to connect to my PC, you could wiggle the cable sometimes, it got errors, and then stopped altogether. The connector would scratch and click when you plugged in the cord. RULE 1, use a cord that isn’t tight or difficult to insert, and don’t put pressure on the cable while inserted, I learned this the hard way. I was able to determine the port was the problem, but was apprehensive about attempting a repair on such an investment. My mind was changed when I looked and Sony’s repair cost started at 0+. This camera is about 2 years old, with maybe 20 hours of use and maybe 2 dozen connections with the pc. I am really disturbed at how cheap the firewire port is on a camera that cost several thousand dollars. Plus I wanted to connect a hard drive for direct recording, can’t imagine doing that now. I searched for a replacement part. www.partstore.com has 663 parts for this camera, and prices look reasonable, but there are no photos or clear descriptions. If you know this part(number), please comment and I will place it on here for others (as well as buy one). I purchased a new firewire port from www.mouser.com for under . You have to love a company that will let you buy 3 or 3000. The part number is 154-AVR20-E, it is slightly larger and requires some modification, but the pin outs match perfectly. You have to

This Object was first seen flying Southeast direction, over the woods at the far end of the farmlands, and appeared like an airplane flying SIDEWAYS… After a short time, after fixing its headlights to the front, it changed direction to Southwest, travelled diagonally over the farmlands approaching my position, showing an unusual flashing light display, revealing a unique dark unknown “moving shape” attached to the body. The Object came as close to 1/3 mile from me, flying at approx 200 feet in the air then continued its flight and disappeared heading South. Overall, all lights were not perfectly round as we are use to see on “normal” aircraft, and the Object was dead silent and similar to the Shape Shifting Entities UFOs types filmed in my area… Note: My tripod is under repair for a few weeks, I filmed this sighting with a secondary tripod which isn’t meant for video. Sorry for the bad shaky camera movements… Intensive stabilization has been used to make this footage “watchable”… Plus, my Teleconverter lens was badly aligned on my camera that night… What a great time I had filming that thing lol… Enjoy! *Filmed in 60p with Sony camcorder: HDRCX700V – MUSIC – The Firebird Suite “Dance Of The Firebird” composed by Igor Stravinsky Chicago Symphony Orchestra – Pierre Boulez
