I have put new batterys in my nv-100 still nothing happens,the illuminator lights up.

This camera is 30 years old and if it has not been used regularly, will have suffered irrepairable damage from leaking components internally.
Take it to an authorised Panasonic repair shop for evaluation.

Anti theft is active.

Roll the batteries once installed to rub through any oxidation on contacts and on batteries. If it does not remedy it, you may need to look closer at the condition of the wiring.

Few questions, NV devises have IR luminator, it is infrared light that inhance the ability of the image intensifier tube? There is just alot of factors that effect the lumenation of the NV devise. Do you have a green glow in the NV monocular? Have you installed new batteries? Have you taken it a part and look inside? Just install new battery and make sure that the polority is correct

I will give you a little secret here, when the Russian put these NV devises together. They have atleast 50 Russian Orthodox Priest praying that these devises will work. Once you open these NV devises you let out the great polisky juices. it finished once this happen. Did you let the polisky juice out? stewbison

Hello, this Night Owl monocular will have two light (LED's), one green for on/off, and other red LED for IR illuminator. So, does the green light come on? Also, if still does work, then send it to me. I some parts to fix other NV devise and 95% of them are manufactured in Russia including yours.
I wish you all the luck. GB...stewbison

Not all the time, but if you release the button the image will fade to nothing in a minute or so. This is how it switches itself off. Don't expose it to light while it's powered up as this might damage it.

This happened to me two weeks ago, i tried to jump it and nothing, sor I repalced the battery. A few days later I got a flat, and told the service guy at the shop what happened. He checked the voltage on the "jump points" and told me the jump points weren't connected to the battery. I found out that if you need to jump this vehicle, remove the fuse block,a nd put the jumper cables directly on the battery. I spent 100 bucks on a new battery for nothing!!!

Lesson Learned: Chevy "Jump Points" make me want to jump off a bridge!

Go to; www.rugift.com they sell these russian NV. They can probably tell you what you need to know.
Good luck. :)

Yes i had the same problem ...
1.Put the cassette as far as it allows... and move the cassette left and right slightly twisting , and you will activate the mechanism
2.SOON the mechanism gets fully out immediately!!!! remove the battery
3.CLEAN contacts (I'm looking right now on the internet to find where the hell sensors-contacts are)
4.PREY that it works :-)

Hi,

I suspect the problem is with the batteries. I advise buying new ones.
