Hello all here is an update….. I called Panasonic and spoke to a person who was kind enough to tell me the vtr boards that were available…
Here is the symptom… the camera will come on when the battery is inserted, the lcd and viewfinder will not come on in p2 mode, the zoom in and out works fine, I can switch from p2 to tape and it it will take 5 or so min then viewfinder and lcd slowly appears on.
these are the listings for the part numbers based on hermon electronics…
camera pc board- vep23655c Price: $1,170.9400 (I dont think it is this one based on price Panasonic quoted me to fix)
dcin pc board vep01971a Price: $11.5000
evf connect pc board vep29166a Price: $22.3300
