Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5: Contact flash capacitor poli

Fri, 06 Mar 2020 12:10:37 -0700

Ho smontato la fotocamera per sostituire l'obbiettivo, con il cacciavite ho toccato uno dei poli del condensatore del flash, ho provocato un corto ed ho visto un lampo tra cacciavite e condensatore, quando ho rimontato il tutto la fotocamera non si è più accesa. cosa può essersi danneggiato? posso ripararla?

Contact flash capacitor poly

I disassembled the camera to replace the lens, with the screwdriver I touched one of the poles of the flash capacitor, I caused a short and I saw a flash of screwdriver and capacitor, when I reassembled the whole the camera is not turned on. What may have been damaged? I can fix it?

Panasonic LUMIX DMC-LX100: Losing date and time when main battery removed

Tue, 12 May 2026 11:46:50 -0700

When I recharge my battery the camera loses the date and time. All other functions appear to work. When the date and time is reset it is correct until the battery is removed again. Can this be fixed easily?

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ1000: The camera forgets the date and time.

Wed, 29 Apr 2026 02:42:06 -0700

It's clear that the internal battery has stopped charging from the main battery and needs to be replaced. Where is it located, what's its name? It would be nice to see instructions for replacing it somewhere. Of course, professionals don't want to share information. But maybe there's a manual somewhere written by a not-so-greedy professional? Thanks.

The shutter button and zoom switch do not work anymore.

Shutter button and zoom switch do not work anymore. I have dissassembled the camera as far as removing the back half and the PC board inside but still can't get to the shutter button and zoom switch to find out what the problem could be. Camera is a Lumix FZ100.

Panasonic DMC-FZ200: LCD backlight not working.

Wed, 25 Mar 2026 23:45:13 -0700

I am trying to fix the backlight on the LCD of my Lumix DMC-FZ200. I have used a multi meter to check for voltage on pin 6 of connector FP9003 based on page 57 of the Panasonic service guide. I am not seeing any voltage on pin 6, I am thinking that the backlight fuse has blown but seem to be struggling to find where the fuse is located on the main board. I am quite new to this so really hoping someone can possibly point me in the right direction. Thank you.

Here are two photos : one with a connector ( censor ?) that comes from the lens assembly, but don’t know where it comes from … the other one is the lens assembly.

If you indicate me where the censor comes from that would be very useful !!

Panasonic Lumix DMC-G7: Screen not displaying anything

Thu, 02 Oct 2025 15:28:31 -0700

I've just bought a second-hand Lumix G7, and the screen is not displaying. The camera is otherwise functioning fine - I can view everything through the EVF, but the display is completely black. I've tried the Fn5/LVF button, reset the camera settings, changed the eye sensor sensitivity, but no luck. Any ideas? Thanks in advance! :)

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ1000: Eliminating grinding noise from video capture?

Sat, 20 Sep 2025 02:13:08 -0700

the noise is a problem (you will find other posts about the noise of this camera) because it can be heard in video playback, making it un-usable for film-making. i would like to know how people have solved this problem. i already purchased an external rode video microphone and attached it to the top of the camera - but unfortunately it also picks up the grinding sounds because it is close to the camera and the noise is still loud enough to interfere. i want to be able to shoot handheld without carrying another microphone or needing an additional person to carry a microphone. if there is someone who found a mic that works, tell me !

My FZ1000 makes a grinding noise when I turn it on. It doesn’t do anything besides that annoying noise, as if it’s locked up.
