It is highly unlikely that anything has entered the lens. You would not need to dismantle to clean. Wipe clear with the lens from outside. Wipe clear the eye piece as well. Otherwise is the recording head that needs to be cleaned.

The most likely cause for this is a damaged or defective flexible ribbon cable that connects the LCD to the camera body and can be repaired fairly inexpensively. However, it's not a user serviceable problem and will need to be repaired by a qualified service technician.

My name is Rick and I'm a professional repair technician with over 20 years in the business and have repaired many of these. I'm semi retired and work from home with little overhead so I can keep repair costs low. If you decide to have the camera repaired, please click HERE for a directory listing that suits your needs.

Hi there yes internal fuse may damaged or the power transformer is damaged & that;s why its not supply the power to the main circuit board. Also make sure the battery is working condition. How about the DC power ? Is that working on Power Adepter?

the ribbon cable that carries the signal to the screen sounds like it has become damaged
thatcan cause the problem
when it is all the way open it stretches the cable resulting in a gap to form, so when only open part of the way there is still a signal. see if there is anything in the hinge that might be causing the stretching of the cable, as that is almost surely the problem..

Please write in English and help me to give your answer

The tapes mechanical path is jammed. The mechanical section is trying to reset in the "Home" position when you turn it on, but it can't because it's stuck.

U can download from panasonic.com. u need to copy movie or still ??

The problem is likely to be the flat ribbin cable that goes from the camera body to the screen. It has developed a crack in one or more of the wires. The cable will need to be replaced. This is a tricky operation as the dis-assembly of a camera is not simple. I would recommend that you take this to an authorized Panasonic service center for repair.
