You have to use a Firewire cable for your computer or else the cable you are using is of cheap quality and definitely some of the cheap quality cables do not work. What I also know about Laptops or most laptops do not have a Firewire connection so you can not use it on yours if it hasn't got that firewire socket. So you might try using the usb cable which is not as reliable as the Firewire cable. However another solution for this if your laptop; hasn't got that socket is to get to a Desktop Computer and buy a firewire card then put it into your pci socket. Once the picture have been downloaded then you can transfer them to your laptop using a flash disk or an other storage facility.

Well thanks that you found out. i was going to tell you to do exactly what you did because the timecode rreads where it is tapes and does not where it's not.

There is no way you can do that without taking it apart you have to have it unscrewed. Otherwise you have to look for a battery of the same power and connect using wires assuming that your camcorder can open when there is power. The other solution is to buy a universal power supply that can help temporarily to operate the camera fr taking out the tape. You have to be careful though when you use the universal power supply to set the recommended power first which is written under the camcorder. good luck.

I suppose you mean you can not see in the LCD display. Mostly it is the flexicable that will be faulty. So it has to be changed. You have to have someone with the technical know how to do it for you.

Hi. Inorder for you to check if the unit has the problem is to test the battery and the adapter using the tester. If the battery and power adapter passed then the problem is the unit itself. It could be the mainboard is having the problem.

This is usually caused by a failed component in the power circuit within the camera and can usually be repaired fairly inexpensively. However, it's not a user serviceable problem and will need to be repaired qualified service technician.

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

There was an earlier post that explained the black ribbon between the LCD viewfinder and the body of the camera is split. You would have to buy a new LCD viewfinder for about $90 or send it back to them to fix for around $250. The same thing happened to my camera and I can actually is the split. If you close it down more than half way the picture shows up. I called Panasonic and they said you have to buy the whole LCD, that you can't just buy the ribbon. They don't even have a part number for just the ribbon. Good luck.

Hi,
It seems flexible ribbon wire between lcd board and camcorder main board is cracked/ broken and causing this problem, you need to replace that flexible ribbon wire and it is job of qualified camera tech because camcorder will take apart in this process.
Nearest Panasonic service center or local camera repair shop would be fine to get camera fixed.
Hope this info will help you.
Thanks.

What is the problem??

Thanks
