In 1964, 625 line was considered "high definition" The caps failed in these because they put the wrong values in, under specced in voltage and no proper cooling
I bought one of these new from John Lewis probably around 2009/2010. It has a 160GB HDD and slightly unusual for that time a digital only tuner. I think there was a warning label on the box stating it was Digital (Freeview) only. The HDMI output did a pretty good job at upscaling DVDs. The later DMR-EX773 is almost identical.
I still use a couple of Sony RDR HX - D series hdd/dvd recorder/player machines..... They still work well enough, have HDMI upscaling, which, whilst not a full-on HD output, bumps up the picture quality enough to do for me, and at almost 67 years old, my eyes are not as HD as they used to be anyway!
If it's a Panasonic or contains Panasonic capacitors, chances are it will need new ones that will last a lot longer. Just be careful where you buy them from, avoid fleabay like the plague.
You unplug the equipment and appear to start working without first discharging the input capacitor on the switch-mode power supply. There’s a risk that the capacitor will still be at around 400V and if you handle the PCB, you might get an electric shock.
Only a simple repair when you know what the problem is. I’d suspect this DVD isn’t manufactured by Panasonic. Panasonic are a large manufacturer of capacitors, why would they use cheap Elna capacitors in their equipment? You’d expect to see some Panasonic capacitors in there at least! I’d upgrade them, increasing the voltage rating and temp spec to 105c
Dodgy cheap capacitors have been like an electronics plague in the last 20 years. Generated so much e-waste its mad. Conspiracy to make it all break so you buy it again? curiousmarc has a vid on old capacitors, 70+ years old that are still perfect. So they can be made.
Thoroughly enjoying watching this. I have two 21 year old Philips DVD/HDD HDRW 720 recorders and two 24 year old VHS recorders. Would you recommend that power to these units be turned off at the mains, when not in use, to preserve these marvellous machines? Incidentally, one of my Philips HDRW 720 recorders had flickering on playback from my VHS machine. I suspected that it was recorded like this on the HDD? I use a SCART to HDMI lead to my Panasonic TV. When I exchanged the Philips for my other one, the flickering wasn't present. Any ideas please? Thank you for your very interesting videos.
Rule of thumb is to replace failed caps with a higher voltage & temperature rated ones. Replacing a failed 6.3V with another 6.3V is asking for future problems.
Timely video, I'm just about to try a repair on a Panasonic DMR-EX95V DVD VHS Recorder. Classic PLEASE WAIT error. That does go to the 0:00 display, then Pressing Power encourages it to go to the HELLO display! But neither Eject buttons do anything, and there is no Video output from either the RCA or HMDI, so suspected Capacitor issues. I have had a peer inside, and can also see at least two blown Capacitors. I have the Service Manual, so will get the PCB and Power PCB out and see exactly how many are suspect or bad. Watch this space!
A very common fault, also the DVD/VHS machines suffered the cap problem, used to pick these up for peanuts from boot dales a few years ago. Never had any other faults.
Had a Power supply issue in the DVD recorder version of this,no HDD in that one, 2 caps went both changed for Rubycon 6.3v 1200uf which was the same spec as originals i believe,seemed a common issue.
Boring. There are millions of videos showing how to change bulged caps. I'm not sure why the YT algorithm showed this to me. If you want more views, bring interesting diagnosis videos.

Great fix Allen, I am sure that many will be interested in learning how to fix this. Keep up the great uploads.

That would go straight into the bin if only for the long wait.
Idk why but UA-cam is recommending me random videos.
What an interesting video, I love it!
Your voice is also calm. 🤩
Brilliant repair Allen these will be around longer then most of us lol 😊

I still have three of these units. All working, but only two remotes. I don’t need them, so make contact if you do, or would.

the capacitor plague is actually caused by an incomplete copy of a copy of a copy of a proper capacitor electrolyte formula
Just wondering what make of tv brand would you recommend as being the most reliable to buy now.. Thanks

@@androidbox3571 not if other caps are on the same rail.
I always uprate to 10 volt caps.

Ther's also a lot of hum on this video. So you have a Plasma turned on all the time making this noise on the microphone?
What no one has vaped near it in its life?
Otherwise surely destroyed!?

I haven't been to a boot dale for years! 🤣
My late father in law had a Panasonic tv, it was very good unfortunately the remote controls units are not very well made, he has had three units.

when I get my 8K eyes I may upgrade 🙂
What matters is *bitrate*. You can have absolutely horrible 1080, or 4k with low bitrate.
I have a Panasonic plasma 50 inch TV. It’s giving me a four blink code. Any ideas? Tc-p50g25 july2010
Nice
some of these where bricked by ota bad updates and failed caps in the psu
I got a free Blu Ray player last week its an LG and also plays all media from a USB stick that's very handy I just made a video
Panasonic use very crap laptop size Toshiba Hard Drives that occasionally fail
Its too dangerous. Stop.
