The company I work for owns a 2700 VariCam. I just got a call from a friend who has rented our camera and is in Vegas and has apparently had this very same issue with the fuse blowing. Cam was working fine, henleft and and took a break, cam back 20min later, put on a fresh AB Hytron 140, and then the cam wouldn’t ever turn back on. We work out of Indianpolis and the SuperBowl is right around the corner and am already gonna losing out on other work already scheduled for this camera. We’ve only owned this cam for 10 months or so. What can you tell me abut the best way to replace the fuse? Where can I get on to have on hand for backup? At the moment my plan is to wait until my friend, who rented the cam and has it Vegas, gets back with it and then send it in to Alex Feldman, the East Coast Panasonic Repair Rep. Alex won’t really give me any straight answers and is just simply wanting me to send him the camera and he’ll repair it and we’ll get it back a week later. If we can take care of this on our own, and save the time, I’d love to. Or is therebanyone else at Panasonic to talk to whomis morenfamiliar and sensitive to this issue. Any other issues on this would be GREATLY appreciated.
