Panasonic HC-V110: Why won't my computer recognize the device?

Mon, 21 Sep 2020 07:00:01 -0700

iFixit users,

I haven't experienced any issues with my Panasonic HC-V110 device other than when I try to upload the media to my computer.

I think I may be having trouble with properly connecting the USB cord from the camcorder to the computer, but I don't know what the problem is exactly.

Is there a specific port on the computer that I need to connect the cord to?

Someone please help me!

Thank you!

Panasonic Camera: My Panasonic lumix DMC-Fz18 camera is frozen

Tue, 18 Aug 2020 12:56:10 -0700

In the middle of using my camera, it froze completely: the lens won't retract, there is nothing on the screen, turning it on or off makes no difference, etc. - it is basically dead. I checked the battery and it is fully charged; I changed the memory card, with no result. I don't understand what could have happened: it wasn't dropped or banged or anything; it just quit. The only thing out of the ordinary was that my 3-yr-old granddaughter was trying to take pictures with it (with me sitting right beside her). Her fingers are very small and she had trouble reaching the buttons, so I'm wondering if she could somehow have pressed some combination of buttons that caused the camera to freeze. I would be surprised if that were the case, because in my considerable experienced with this camera, it is not finicky. Any ideas?

Nikon Coolpix L840: My camera screen is black.

Sun, 26 Apr 2020 12:45:21 -0700

Hi Adam, im hoping you might be able to shed some light on this subject. My camera screen is black. Although the camera turns on, flash works, the shutter clicks as though a picture is being taken, screen is black and when you click it it appears to take a black picture. This camera is fairly new, probably not within wauranty though but i can see only 107 pictures taken, probably a few more than that, that we deleted but - light use. Does the LCD screen commonly burn out in this model camera to your knowledge. Thank you for your help. Melinda Rhodes

I keep trying to turn the camera on but it seems to be getting no power and I have not even gone underwater with it yet, so I know it is not due to water leakage. What do you recommend?

Nikon B500: Suddenly stops recording after 7-15 seconds

Fri, 06 Dec 2019 09:19:15 -0700

The last three days while I am recording videos the camera suddenly stops recording, a notice comes across my screen to wait while video is processing. It will sit there and sit there with that message until I turn the camera off by releasing the batteries. It will only record 7-15 seconds at a time. I had no problem recording a week ago. The camera was 4 years old this past February. I have a 32 gig SD card in it (same card I have been using since I bought the camera, and am using Lithium batteries (camera settings are set for lithium batteries). Thank you for your help.

A camera instructor changed the setting on my D90 so any overexposed areas would flash on each photo as I reviewed shots taken. Anyone know how to change this setting back so that it won't blink in a distracting manner?

Canon EOS Rebel T2i: My canon keeps turning off on its own.

Fri, 27 Sep 2019 08:21:09 -0700

My canon had been working just fine and out of nowhere it started turning off on its own. The screen goes black after a couple of photos for no reason. Every time this happens I take the fully charged battery off and put on my 2nd fully charged battery. Then it turns on again and allows me to use it again for some photos and ends up turning back off. If I simply take it off and then put back in the same battery it doesn't work. I have to put on the other battery. Either way it ends up dying and it only works for a while when I change the batteries. There's no message at all. The screen goes black and it won't turn on.

I had a broken LCD display, and bought a replacement part on eBay. When I was replacing I’ve accidentally torn the backlight ribbon. Screen works but can only be seen under very bright light. Can I repair this somehow? I can’t seem to find a replacement part online.
