Panasonic HPX370 DC OUT not providing power to Lectro

[knockturnal]

Hello All,

I went to shoot a job yesterday and found that my Panasonic HPX370 DC OUT was not providing power to the Lectro wireless. It had always worked before. Anyone else have this issue.

Thanks,
Patrick

You're sure the lectro was set to external power?

Mine quit working too. I called Panasonic, they said no user serviceable parts (fuse). Will have to send to a Panasonic service center.
I have not been able to find time to send it in. In the mean time I just work around it.

Mine has failed as well. Our ENG Engineer spent some time prodding around inside, but couldn't find a root cause. If anyone should find a solution short of sending the camera to Panasonic, please post... I just can't see losing the time to send it in for such a minor (but very annoying) issue. Does anyone have access to the schematics?

Here is your solution if you want to save time and money.

I have a source for the fuse If you are accurate at board level soldering you can repair this in less than an hour for less than $50.
I will put together a detailed video when I get time to help you with the R & R of this part.

It's a great camera but this is certainly one improvement that Panasonic MUST make to this model!
