Check the power supply output voltages with your multimeter (search these forums for details and appropriate warnings)?
Well, you may be heading out of your depth. I think you need to study the sticky thread on disassembly and repair (and then again). Terms like "voltage" and "power supply" and maybe "PCB" could be productive for searches.
You'll find that inside your HDR are four main items: the power supply board on the left (from the front) with its mains voltage entering from the back, the main board (centre and right), the hard disk, which squats over these, and the front panel. On the right edge of the supply board is a connector to the main board that carries the low DC voltages (ca. 12V and 6V), and this is what you're looking for.
Rational paranoia is your friend. Be aware of possible mains voltages even on the supposedly isolated low voltage front half of the power supply board.
