camcorder, fix or throw?
My 9 year old Panasonic camcorder started cutting out after about 5 seconds. Damn I thought means getting a new one. Well my train of thought was if it is going to be scrapped lets open it up anyway.
As I already have the magnatic tipped tools it makes the job easier
Looking up on how to on youtube one person had the same problem and it was down to the cooling fan in the camcorder not working causing the camcorder to cut out to stop overheating.
So tried to remove the side cover
but could only manage to open up a small gap on the joins to get to the fan, by using a rocket power seemed to do the trick.
Put it all back together and it now works ok
