Refuses to charge. I do love this Panasonic, but I noticed that no matter where I tried to charge (laptop, electric connector, etc, it will just not charge. Any ideas? Help !!!!! Thanks

I found the perfect solution: i bought a wall charger for the battery, that way I can completely bypass and ignore the useless USB arm. Glad because i didn't have to send the Panasonic back.

You have to make sure the camcorder is off when you plug it in to you computer, otherwise it will not charge.

Make sure it is fully charged and is working as non-speaker phone. Remove batteries for 2 minutes...no more than 5 minutes. Re-install batteries and it should work. If not assume it is defective and contact Panasonic.

I looked through the manual and it appears that one can only charge it with the charger that comes with it. You could go to the Panasonic site and look at the manual for the camera to see what it looks like. I love the camera, especially after I tried to float one last summer when I was fly fishing.

Richard, Although I've heard of others that have had this problem, I haven't experienced it. This was discussed back in May and maybe June on certain forums and reviews. Maybe Panasonic addressed the problem when shipping units after that. In any case, it's not an issue with mine.

I've read that these sometimes have a break-in period and that the charging indication corrects itself after a few days of use. I'd try charging it up and using it and recharging it a few times to see if that helps. Only "problem" is that the charge lasts a long long time! Good luck.

I have to take back what I said about the handset. The service itself and the Telo base are still great, but the handset will no longer charge. I have had to resort to removing and reinserting the battery frequently to get the phone to take a charge, but now it only *appears* to be fully charged and then will suddenly die after only about 2-3 minutes of talk time. I gave up waiting for the new version to come out and have purchased an add on to my Panasonic set to replace it. I hate the thing - and I used to love it.

if you unplugged it and plugged it back on, and nothing positive happens.....throw it out! panasonic makes garbage dvd players. it is not the panasonic of the past. i keep 5 dvd players in the house, cause i am a movie buff., and in the past i've had all panasonic players. those days are over. i have one panasonic player left and that hiccups every eight minutes on recordable discs. on your problem, maybe you can contact panasonic.com or call them and they can send you, or you can download their software update. it didnt work for me, but it might work for you. if mechanically inclined, and not under warranty....you can take off the cover, unscrew the carriage cover and remove the disc. also sometimes, if the disc is not in the slot correctly., it could jam up, and shut itself off. my dmp-bd871 played well for 4 months, and now it will not accept any disc. i will admit, that before it went kaput, it had the best picture of any other player i've had................irene

Hi, I am having the same problem with mine. I am sure these are defective items that are being resold. I have to shut it down, power cord in, turn it back on and then manipulate the cord just so. Sometimes it takes a few tries. When if starts to charge, I leave if alone, because it will stop even if lightly tapped. The charge doesn't last very long though. Very disappointed. I should have returned it when I got it.

It sounds like you have a defective device. Contact Panasonic Customer Service or Amazon customer service.

It looks like you have a problem with the assembly of the unit. I went out and bought a jack to plug it into the wall. So I don't have to charge it. You can buy them at Best buy they are about $15.00. I have not had any issues with mine. I use it all the time. You may want to send it back if it is broken.

Make sure your charging cord is plugged in to AC and not a USB port. If you do plug it in with USB it'll attempt to set up a connection with the PC or laptop, which is a good thing actually, but it won't charge.

Same here, worked a couple of days ago but will not work now. Has anybody contacted Panasonic?

Sorry, can't help. I ended up returning it because I couldn't get it to charge at all. It was dead when I got it and no matter how I connected it, it wouldn't charge.

I don't think you can. I've tried everything, even called Panasonic. Just learned to live with it at this point.
