I also had the same problem as many other users with my Panasonic DMR-E85H DVD recorder (frozen on the Please Wait msg forever). I also got a $130 quote from Panasonic service for something that took me about an hour and less than $10 to fix (bought a spare capacitor just in case I screwed up one)thanks to the great input from the people on this site, especially RandyChev (Sol#4) and his step by step photos. With so many units with the same problem it's a shame that Panasonic hasn't stepped up and offered to do the repairs for free (less shipping costs of course)even for the units that are past warrantee. It's obviously a defect in the electronic design that recommended capacitors that were not capable of handling the task at hand. I thank you all so much for all your inputs and unselfish sharing of information.I didn't know where to post this thank you note so I posted it in the "problem box" I hope this gets moved to the correct area. Greatfull reader
