Panasonic 700x model PV-L352D tape door will not latch closed? Is it related to batteries?

  • Terry Brabb Mar 27, 2011

    Shane,

    Ok it's not worth $50. Is there anyway I can get to the part and fix it. I have the tools and the ability but need some insight as how camera is put together.

No. This has no relation to the battery if the eject is working or the camcorder switches on to indicate that the battery is good. Only if there is no indication of power must it be checked using a multimeter, the battery charge.
If absent the battery must be charged before you try to switch on.
If however the battery is good then it a failure of the eject loading section or the forward loading which results in the mechanism not coming to rest and hence the door will not reset to the position required.
You will need to remove the door and see if there is any obstruction that causes the loading arms to be stuck. If not there is fault in the loading mechanism and the camcorder must be stripped to check within which must be done only if you are experienced.

Hi,


It is not related to batteries. The door latch mechanism is defective that's why you face this problem. You need to replace complete door latch mechanism. It will cost you around $50.

Hope this helps.

Are you sure it isn't a 52D rather that a 520. That doesn't seem to exist. Panasonic PV-DV52D in the link.

Your tape has a small latch on it that closes to protect from recording or eraser and opens to allow for playing or dubbing. Slide it open and see what happens.

Door Latch

The latch is reset by battery power - try charging the battery and reinstalling it. If that doesn't do it, it'll have to go to a repair shop.
