Panorama2 died

[dashy]

Well today was the last day it seems for my panorama2, lost power, no flashing lights, etc.
I've had it for more than 1.5 years, working nearly all day for 5/7 days a week.

My Panorama2 died too, symptoms as you have. I removed RTC battery, but Panorama not work. Does anyone know what else to check?

Good evening. I Panorama has been working for three years with no problems. Total MS621FE changed the battery and cable. Flex need 30 pin 0.5 pitch. I bought a 40-pin and cut to 30. Change the line can it be a reason. I often make out and it burst, clearly invisible. On brokenness loop, too, was dead. I changed the trail and he revived. Try. Wish you luck. (Поменяйте шлейф - 30 пин 0,5 шаг.)

I am over 2 years on my Panoramas with the original Transcend cards. They still work but it seems that the capacitors are failing and my last file at shutdown is usually corrupted. I can live with it for now. Considering replacing the caps. Has this been done around here? I am going to look...great cameras though.

Supercaps can be de-soldered and replaced for the new one if you know basic soldering techniques.

You can buy them from eBay.

Do anybody have a schematic diagram- power circuit?

Thanks! Are there two? Is that link to the correct one for panorama IIs?

Panorama 2 uses same supercaps. You need only one set ( 2pcs taped together ).

The other day I pulled the power cable from my device while power was still supplied. When I plugged it back in the camera no longer worked. It turns on and the Panorama screen shows then it all goes blank. Is this what is called "bricked"? And, will the above procedure fix it? Its been a great camera and I hate to trash it.

Eject both memory cards and try to power on again， see what is shows.

 

[Hoovdawg]

did that and tried another card, no effect

 

[niko]

I am afraid then its bricked. Unplug rear camera as well just in case to check this variation. And check if both fuses (ACC and BAT connections) are OK.

 

[Hoovdawg]

all fuses are ok, it appears that the camera is now trash????

Try to update the firmware. Maybe the process starts before the full boot. With firmware the only file on the card, hold menu then hit and release power button then let go of menu after a few seconds. Just maybe it can start the update. Worth a shot.
