PANASONIC NV-S7B Camcorder - dodgy dew sensor
Like many Panasonic camcorder owners - the dew sensor on my NV-S7B has
packed up. Since the cost of professional repairs outweigh its value - I'm hoping I might be able to fix it. I understand from some postings - resoldering or shorting the sensor can resolve the problem. 1) Does anyone know where the sensor is / what it looks like? It's definitely not part of the power/record cable as with some other panasonic models. 2) And then - how do I disable / fix the sensor? Regards Tim |
If you can find it, and it is connected via a connector, remove
connector and solder directly the wires to the pcb. conn develops hi res contacts and causes the problem. |

I know what dew sensors look like on other models but I'm still
struggling to find it on mine. I can't see anything similar - but much of the cicuit board is hidden. I might have to start taking my camcorder apart and having a closer look. (to clarify lakewood's solution above) Once I find the dew sensor Do I: 1) remove the sensor, or 2) remove it and solder the two contacts together to complete the circuit |
Problem solved.
Joining the contacts together prevents the dew sensor activating. Have jpegs if anyone wants to know where it is. |
