OK I've been doing some digging today (across five different OS) and I need someone to try something for me please who's familiar with their way around Windows / Linux PCs or Macs.
First of all remove the SD card.
Can you please connect the Panorama to your PC or Mac via the micro USB connection - the camera won't power on at this point.
Now hold down the triangle button and press the power button to turn the camera on. During this process keep holding the triangle button and only let go after the camera has booted up.
Now this is a theory at this stage, but I'm guessing in Windows Device Manager you'll have a new device named either COACH DSC or Polaroid COACH DSC with a vendor id (VID) of 0546 and a product id (PID) of 4343. In OSX you can check this by running the Hardware Profiler and looking at the USB section. In Linux just run lsusb and look for a Polaroid or COACH entry - the numbers should match.
Here's an example from Windows Device Manager (ignore the name but this is me messing around):
Now turn the camera off either by holding the button or removing the cable.
This time connect the camera and just turn it on. Check the USB ids again and I'm guessing it may be a vendor id of 0546 and a product id of 2002.
Now in theory this should be the same across all Panorama cameras, so if someone could try this out I'm intrigued to see what results you get please
