Words can't express my gratitude torwards you, dude!

I got gifted an old vx by a homie. Getting hands on batteries was one thing, realizing the viewfinder was broken a whole other challenge.

*THIS* is what the internet is for.
Sharing. Caring. Teaching. Learning.

*Thank you* 👐🏽❤🔥

Clear, concise and that music is just what the doctor ordered. I salute you VX soldier! Thank you very much!

[keatorski]

The music is calming my frazzled nerves so I don't lose my shit while operating on this camera

[nickholtz]

Couldn’t imagine working in a production line for this in the 90s for like $4 hr.

Just fixed mine! this tutorial was awesome but was stuck for ages at 20:17 because it isn't mentioned that the little clip slides out and makes it so you can put the ribbon underneath

[jamesbeattie]

I never leave youtube comments, but wanted to say thank you so much for the uploading the tutorial! :)

[joshuasieg]

Man, I was about to send in my VX and pay $120 to repair it. I believe I can do it myself now. Thank you!

[OuttaBaby]

Thanks a million, was so nervous to take apart my vx, this video made it so easy and I fixed my view finder ribbon cable. God bless.

[GAMMERANCH]

Followed this step by step and it worked! Best ribbon cable replacement video on youtube!

[fernandoulbrich]

man is amazing how you explain it so simple and easy, you should make a video taking apart and putting together the vx 1000, would be great. Greetings from Argentina

[saladbakersskateboard]

This saved my ass up! Vx1 is working well just like before

[sweetspots]

Best tutorials! Very clear as of what to do

[StevenVigus]

Excellent video. Thanks for making a potentially scary job super easy. And I was able to get the part using the link you posted.

[twinssschannel]

ehy, can you make a video for cleaning the lenses?

[MarkjosephRepato]

How will you know if the view finder is not working?

[FelipeCea]

Amigo te puedo enviar un mail, tengo un problema con mi VX, no abre la puerta para los tapes y con tapeless tampoco puedo visualizarlos videos

[SplendorSolis]

The viewfinder on my TRV900 is completely white but the LCD works fine, any ideas?

[adrienkouyoumdjian]

Hi I have a problem with my vx1000, when i look through the viewfinder the lcd screen shows the image with everything in green like every object is green, do you know how to fix it ?

[heffiVX]

followed instructions to a T but the ribbon cable connector on the camera snapped off after the slightest bit of pressure while trying to insert the ribbon cable. perhaps the soldering was worn off already... anybody had this happen to them and if so could u fix it somehow??
