DVX servo zoom issue

Hi,

new here and solution searching...

I have a DVX100BP bought used from Adorama last October with 48 hours on it.

Everything fine until three days ago (two days after warranty expired): The servo zoom stopped working. The motor didn't give any sign of life.

Until this morning when I discovered that it works almost fine if you give it a slight push.

It doesn't work good though if you use it very slowly. In this case it stops working altogether.

The night before it stopped working I used it to capture a theatrical play, with slow zooming all night long and no problems at all.

I wonder if anyone has experienced something like this and what is an expense for fix it.

Thanks.

Did you check that the manual/ servo switch under the lens is int he right position? When half way in between the lens acts weird. when set to manual the zoom controller button does nothing. I'm guessing it slid to half way in between when you pt it in the bag or something. Try sliding it back and forth a few times and then put it in servo.
