Problem for Panasonic NV-DS60 Mini DV Digital Camcorder
Problem with Playback and Record on camera
Hi
We are having troubles with recording and playing back on our video camera. It records for about 5 seconds then stops and the power light then flashes and won't do anything. The same thing happens with playback. We have plugged this into direct power and it doesn't make any difference, nor does a video head cleaner disk.
Any help would be great.

The fix is really easy and costs nothing, just 10 minutes of your time!
*I fixed mine (twice) this way*
Turn the cam over.
remove all the screws holding the dark plastic bottom on the camcorder, remove it carefully.
Now you will see the ribbon cables, VERY GENTLY, wiggle them from left to right (about 1mm each way), then push them in.
Test by putting your battery back on and see if it holds a tape, or plays without blinking and switching off - you will be happy.
The fault is simply that one cable (I can't tell you which one) becomes loose over time, so it just needs to be pushed back in and the condensation error and/or the door closing problem go away!
A lot of folks are buying cams off eBay like this as it's such a simple repair!
Good luck - please help others - post back if it works!
