GH3 "Please turn camera off and then on again"

Anyone know how to deal with this problem? I've changed battery, SD card, and nothing but this screen shows when I turn the camera. Not sure what to do

 
I had the same problem with my GH3 before. As it was caused by a broken hinge of the LCD screen, the only fix was to send my camera to Panasonic to replace the broken hinge. I was told that it was not an uncommon problem with the GH3. There is actually a 'switch' associated with the hinge. Good luck.
 
yes the LCD screen is floppy and loose, will be calling the service centre tomorrow. hope this doesn't cost me too much.
 
Ok, to elaborate: I had this happen with my GH1 when the built-in flash failed. I've learnt from Panasonic themselves that if their camera senses a fault anywhere this message will pop up. If the message is recurring it's definitely a service centre trip.
