After receiving this I notice that something inside rattles around, like a piece came off. Is this normal?

I cannot remember since I purchased it about two years ago! I know that both my nephews love it!

I gues that would be fine. I never had that issue and have never taken it apart. Maybe get a hold of were you purchased it and question them on you repairing or them sending a new one to you.

Sorry but that does not sound normal. Ive had mine for a while now and it hasnt made one noice yet. Check your warranty, might be a problem in the upcomming future.

funny i just noticed that last week, yes it rattles or sounds like there is something loose in there, but it does not affect performance at all, actually i think it maybe the ios mechanism inside.

Mine did not separate. In fact, I can't pull it apart so I would not think this was normal and I would exchange it for a new one.

No,and there was a piece loose that rattles around and not the unit is slow acting.

I don't recall anything moving in mine. Look through the slots and see what it is. Are you shaking it or just moving it around to hear the sound?

Mine rattles. Power it up and the rattle goes away. I to believe that this is normal

I agree with the previous answer. After a check of all other parts it could be slightly bent causing vibration.

Did yours break or are you just curious? I'm going to be putting one in my new house so that is a good question. I don't live in the house that I put this in anymore but it seems like it's a "sealed" design. If you can't find parts on amazon then probably not.

Yes, I've noticed that mine rattles too. When holding the camera in its normal "landscape" position and moving it forward and back, something inside sounds loose. But, this rattling goes away when the camera is turned ON. As you've observed, the camera seems fully functional. I plan to try to check with Panasonic customer support to see what they say before I return it. Do you have any new info?

I did not notice that it rattled. It's quite snug. Almost the perfect amount of snug. It sits tightly, but releases easily when needed.

No, it should never rattle! I think it depends as to whether you can hear a SMALL background whine or not. Mine is fine on the low speed, but has a very high-pitched background whine on the high speed. My husband can't hear it, but I can't stand it! Is yours still under warranty? Sounds like they should exchange it.

Hi - I do not think this is "normal" - mine didn't rattle - that sounds to me like the camera has something broken inside. I would return and get a replacement. It may work great now....but what about the future? However, I am no expert. Best of luck

That definitely does not sound normal. There were no foam bits anywhere on mine when I got it almost 2 years ago. Have used it every night since and you'd never know that it's not a brand new pillow. If there are foam chunks coming from the pillow you should return for exchange or refund.
