Panasonic dvc30 does not power up

I put in a tape. Played it for a few minutes, and pressed the rewind button. The camcorder shut down, and wouldn't power up. I pressed the "reset" button, but still no response from the camcorder. It won't power up with a power cord, nor a battery. The camcorder is in "like new" condition, with only 106 hours on it. Any suggestions?

You have one of two problems my freind. One could be the CCD sensor or related circuits have a problem in it and most likly a bad capacitor or a CCD imager, or the shutter is bad and sticking. Unfortanatly you really cannot tell untill the unit is taken apart and bench yested. I found a few really reliable folks that will give you a free estamate as I have sent a few peeps to them in the past and with great results.

Sounds like the tape mechanism is damaged, which can't be user serviced. It must be taken into a professional service center for repair.

SOURCE: Panasonic AG DVC30. ALMOST new..only

This being a new set and if under warranty you MUST not attempt to openor tamper so as to VOID the warranty.
Now the obserrvation of the fault seems to be linked to a problem in the main processing board.
the static noise indicates that the servo or the luminance.
The fault requires that you will need a proper signal trace, use of an oscilloscope for video signal and a use of a proper service manual and Jig for looking into the board when it is disembled.
hence my request for such a fault seems that it be checked with the service center, take estimate and decide.
Sometimes a fault connection, and inter board connector, loose grounding or a improper shield, or dry soldering in the linking cords/ boards can be the reason but will require a close look with a magnification glass.

My Sony DCR-TRV740 camera I just purchased (used), has a playback problem with my 8mm's. When I got the unit I cleaned it well with chamois swaps and MG video cleaner(Recommended by all experts it see

You have a clogged video head. It happens. Do not use the chamois again. Instead, purchase an 8mm head cleaner and give that a try. Only use a brand name cleaner - no generics, and make sure it doesn't come from China!

Panasonic AG DVC30 purchased on ebay. Getting horizontal lines during playback, not seen during recording. VERY new camera, only a few hours recording time. Tried reset button and head cleaning tape, still...

This is usually caused by an oxidized, misaligned or defective Audio/Video drum. You can try running a cleaning tape through the camera. If this does not solve the problem the camera will need to be serviced by a qualified service technician.


My name is Rick and I'm a professional repair technician with over 20 years in the business and have repaired many of these.

Palmcorder PV-DV402 doesn't work with tape inserted

Have you tried with different tapes ? Could be that this one is binding inside, and the camcorder cannot move it. Will it fast forward and rewind ?

Auto lock not threaded

sounds like the threading mechanism isn't able to completely thread the tape. there may be something obstructing the travel of one of the threading arms that pulls the tape around the head.

Converting vhs tapes to computer using camcorder

I think it's possible if you change a setting on your camcorder.  Turn your camera on to VCR and then hit the menu button.  Look at 4. AV In/Out Setup and make sure your DV Out is set to ON.  I think this will make it work.  If not, try changing your playback functions.  I think the problem either lies with the fact that the camera is using its RCA connections as outputs instead of inputs, or it's not sending the signal on to the VCR.
Hope this works for you -
