Panasonic Camcorder PL-L60D Dew Detected
When powered on in either the VCR mode or Camera mode, the "Dew Detected"
warning comes up. After a few seconds the camera shuts off. I removed the side with LCD display and tried to locate the dew sensor to see if it could be bypassed, but could not find it. Does anyone know the location before I disassemble further? Any hints would be appreciated, I have only worked on a few camcorders.

Panasonic Camcorder PL-L60D Dew Detected
On MOST camcorders (Not necessarily yours) the dew sensor is mounted
somewhere along the base of the stationary (Lower half) of the rotating drum that carries the video heads. OR is is located on the deck very close to the head drum base. |

Panasonic Camcorder PV-L60D Dew Detected
Here is an update. I found in the service manual for a different model
(PV-L559, not sure how similar they are) that the dew sensor in mounted on the flex cable that includes the VCR/Camera/Power switch. From the schematic of that model, it looks like I could short across the sensor and that would disable the dew sensor circuit, or replace the flex assembly. Can anyone confirm this? The problem could also be in the electronics or the three connectors that the signal goes through before it gets to the system controller. From a Google search of "Dew Detected", this seems like a common problem with many models of Panasonic camcorders.
