Hmc150 fails to start, all indicator lights flashing

[Ken Snyder]

Hello all, I purchased the HMC150 new about a year and a half ago. I've put about 800 hours on it without problem until yesterday. When turning the camera on, it failed to start. After many seconds all the indicator lights in the lower left side begin flashing quickly. I've tried a different battery and memory card but camera still fails.
Is there anything else I should try before contacting Panasonic?

Also how long is turnover on warranty repair?

Thank you in advance for your help.

You should still be under warranty (if you signed up for the free 2 year extension on ePASS). I'd give Panasonic a call.

Thanks, yea I sent it in. and yes I did sign up for the 2 year extension. That was a big factor for purchasing, the long warranty.
I was hoping a hard reset was possible but I guess not. It does look like the turn around is 2-5 days once they receive it, so not too bad. I was thinking they may have it six weeks or more, in that case I would need to purchase
another camera.


Thanks for responding
