Dmr e85h error code

it's the same problem with panasonic dmr-e55 recorder ; must we slack them for another one !!! we need help seriously

Hi,

Panasonic Tech Support says the "PLEASE WAIT" means the E85H is too sick to get to SELF-CHECK.

open dvd and look at the capasitors on mains power board and if any have raised tops replace them with same value e.g (2000mf 10v)
capasitors look like little battries with white line on side
UNPLUG FIRST

Have you tried unplugging it for a couple of minutes?

Open case and look for failed capacitors, which are cylindrical and will have a bulging top and a yellow/gold substance leaking out. If this is the problem, search for previous solutions that mention "solder capacitor C1260" for the DMR-E85. I had a similar 'no power' problem with my DMR-E55 and my son and I were able to fix it Sunday. Not hard to do and mine is working again!

The display keeps saying please wait. I unplugged it a million times. Please help me resolve this problem.

You need to replace the STR-G6353 voltage regulator on the power supply board. Full proceedure with photos at this link: http://www.rbjtech.net/electrical/e85/e85.htm#0 I did this on my DMR-E85H and it now works like new.

please wait displays in the display and the will not go away and no other function will work, i unplug the unit and when i plug it back in the please wait displays again

See Hiker DC post worked for me.

This forum has a couple of solutions for resolving this error message. I personally have only had the u99 error with my E85H unit and resolved it with a firmware upgrade. It has worked great for the last 3 years.
