Panasonic PV-GS9 outercasing replacement

Step 1 Outer Casing




• Using a plastic opening tool, remove the record/playback and record/power control knobs from the camcorder.
Step 2



• Open the tape compartment.
• Using a #00 Phillips head screwdriver, remove the two 4.5mm screws from the camcorder.
Step 3
• Use a plastic opening tool to remove the gray trim piece from top of the camcorder.
• Take care when removing the trim piece. The plastic parts are fragile and can break easily.
Step 4
• Rotate the camcorder so that the eye piece is facing you.
• Remove the battery.
• Remove the four black 4.5mm screws, sitting behind the battery.
• Remove the 5th screw to the right of the battery dock.
• Be careful not to lose any screws whilst trying to remove them.
Step 5
• Rotate the camcorder so that the tape compartment is facing you.
• Remove the single 4.5mm black screw above the hook for the hand strap.
• Undoing the strap on one end may help.
• Rotate the camcorder so that the lens is facing you.
• Remove the single 4.5mm black screw from the front panel.
Step 6
• Rotate the camcorder so that the bottom is facing towards you.
• Remove the single remaining 4.5mm black screw from the bottom.
• Remove the four silver 4.5mm screws from the body.
Step 7
• Open the LCD screen on the side of the camcorder.
• Using a #00 screwdriver, remove the two 4.5mm silver screws located on either side of the hinge of the LCD screen.
Step 8
• Very carefully remove the front cover from the main body of the camcorder.
• This should come apart with relative ease, however a plastic opening tool may help remove the panel.
• There is a ribbon cable attached to the front panel and the camcorder body, so be careful not to pull that off when you remove this panel.
Step 9
• Using your fingers, carefully pull the ribbon cable away from the logic board.
