I have panasonic PV-GS32 camcorder. The lcd was working fine for 2-3 years but suddenly stopped working. If i flip open the LCD screen then the viewpoint also goes blank. Is there some setting that needs to be adjusted? If i have to change the LCD screen only (the camcorder is working fine) where can i get it done and how much will it cost?

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
ITS AVAILABLE IN THE SITE www.simtel.net
THANK YOU

send the camera in for repairs.
the connection between the lcd,and the camera body is bad.

the hinge is definetly damaged and is going to need replacing. these hinges do need replacing if used allot because this is a moving mechanical part. This is not a easy thing to do, it needs to be done by a panasonic technician.

It seems that the video you took by your Panasonic Camera is MOV format. I’m not so sure about that. If it is, you need to use software to convert the video. What I use is Aimersoft DVD Creator. I think you may find some help here:

DO NOT TOUCH IT! i took apart a vx1000 and broke more than i fixed. i wouldnt send it in either. just buy another camera. or **** and try to fix it. ITS hard work and onky if ur patient, should u persue the task!

the flex wire of the lcd monitor is already cut ...go the service center for replacement of the flex wire...or to the other service center for fixing the flex wire...it is to difficult to fix the wire if you are not a technician cause that wire is like a strand of hair...

The panasonic camcorder does not use the Sony CCD element. If the small viewfinder is showing the camera video, there's nothing wrong with the CCD imager. We have had numerous problems with the switch that controls the activation of the large LCD and the backlight inverter that powers it. When you open the LCD the small viewfinder should power down to conserve battery power. The large LCD should then illuminate, if not, shine a flashlight at the surface of the LCD and notice if the video is present, if so, the backlight or LCD harness is defective.
