Had a problem with my Sony Camcorder, error C:31:23, So I googled it and found

Within it i found this

This may seem silly, but it worked for me. I found this on another discussion forum. Try smacking the side of the camera relatively hard with the palm of your hand. Eject the tape and reinsert. You may need to do this a couple of times. Surprisingly it worked for me..

I was like, erm.. right.. like im gonna smack 1500 quids worth of recorder, as a few other ppl commented..

anyhoo, read through the rest of the page, and pretty much everyone said this method worked.

so... went for it, took tape out, switched it off.. and gave it two hard smacks ont he side... powered it on, and put tape in... and it worked!..

bonus, so bear this in mind folks.
