I'm trying to check price and availability, but I need the actual part number before Panasonic can find it.

... I MIGHT buy a hacked GH2 but it's not turning on, and I'm considering the worst case scenario (other than "unrepairable"). It's a camera that was hacked and worked fine, but one day didn't wake up after sitting unused for a while.

Thanks!

]]> GH2 "power board" died twice in a fortnight - probable causes? http://personal-view.com/talks/discussion/7460/gh2-power-board-died-twice-in-a-fortnight-probable-causes Mon, 08 Jul 2013 04:57:22 +0000 sam_stickland 7460@/talks/discussions My GH2 camera died, without any obvious cause. It just completely refused to turn on. I took it into a camera shop in Phnom Penh where they very quickly diagnosed that the "power board" (their words) had failed, and repaired it for me for $90 within 24 hours.

Now, two weeks later, exactly the same problem has happened again. I was walking along taking pictures, I went to turn it on again and.. nothing. It didn't get wet or dropped. I've tried a different battery etc.

Any idea what would cause this twice so quickly? I'm travelling with a number of spare batteries and I'm wondering if it's possible that a discharge from the bad battery could blow the power circuity in the camera? Or is it more likely a bad repair job?
