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?


Is it displaying any error codes, like F03 ?
If not, then suspect caps. Usually is on Panasonic vcs...

It could be a belt, depending on what deck that is, but the caps don't
usually last long enough for the belts to wear
