Hi All,

Our Panasonic NV-HD660 video recorder decided tonight that it prefers
to sleep than do anything much more than play?

It started by the missus having trouble ejecting a vid. I did it ok
(by holding the flap up) but that was just the first sign.

When you tell it to FF / RW etc it starts for maybe a second then just
shuts down?

This smacks of some sort of PSU problem (dry cap?) or maybe a 'common
fault' with this chassis / psu?

As an (ex) electronics / datacomms service engineer (in the days when
you actually fixed things rather than changing a complete panel) and
still have a scope / FC / DMM's etc and don't mind having a go myself
with the right pointers.

So, before I go down to the electronics sheds (via the skip) anyone
know this fault (and how to cure it) please?

All the best ..
