OLD Panasonic Camera.

I had a panasonic hand held camera. a few months ago, some coke fell into it and it has stopped working since.

the repair shop said that the mother board had 'gone'. and it wad cost almost as much as buying a new one.

i was wondering ...that since the mother board was gone. maybe i could use the lens for some other purpose....say a sort of a binoculor. also the lcd screen and the viewfinder. is there any way i could do this?

i need the pin configurations of all these parts. where can i find these?

thanks,

Sachin

You need to search for the camera service manual, by the camera model number. A good place to start is this:

Good luck.

Look for a similar camera on ebay that's been dropped or has a busted LCD or jammed focus mechanism and swap parts around.

In Much older analog cameras the viewfinder could be used for other fun projects because it was just like a little video monitor - Voltage in, ground, video in, etc. Most modern cameras with LCD monitors use digital signals and digital controls that you can not easily duplicate or use to make the parts useful without the camera. Your best bet is to find an identical camera as a parts donor or use yours as a parts donor.

One word of warning - there can be different versions of the exact same camera with the same exact model number. A main board of a different version may not work with a model that was made a year later.

Wash it out with some CLEAN water with baking soda dissolved in it, then rinse with CLEAN water. Let dry for a couple of weeks and try again. At this point you can't do much more damage.
