Marcomalachias Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Hi everyone. I have a FZ-10 with video issues and the problem seems to be the crystal oscillator x 140. This is what is written on top of it: 25.04R5B. I attached a picture for reference. I've looked for it all over the internet with no success. Can anybody help?

Taijigamer Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 X140 is a 24.5454Mhz crystal on NTSC models (29.5Mhz on PAL models). This is a possible substitute https://download.datasheets.com/pdfs/2015/7/27/21/6/36/975/eck_/manual/45424002781191880specific.aspxpartnumberec2-24.5454mtr.5454mtr.pdf What symptoms does your FZ-10 have? Have you tried recapping the system? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcomalachias Posted March 30, 2021 Author Share Posted March 30, 2021 Thank you for answering. I recapped it yesterday and the symptoms persisted. The image is dark scrambled horizontally and the colors are all messed up. I believe some previous owner replaced the crystal since it has this weird specifications. I'll try to find this one you recommended and give you a feedback after changing it. Thank you again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taijigamer Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Looks like it could be a VRAM issue. Use this service manual for guidance https://console5.com/techwiki/images/6/68/Panasonic_FZ-1_Technical_Guide%2C_CPD9310013G0.pdf check the crystal has a stable 24.5454 frequency before attempting to replace it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcomalachias Posted March 30, 2021 Author Share Posted March 30, 2021 Unfortunately I don't have an oscilloscope to measure the frequency. I tested it with a simple multimeter and compared to the other crystal on the board. In the diode scale it didn't show any value. The other crystal (the good one) gave me a response. So I think it might be the reason. But as you said, it might be a vran issue and if it's the case I'll have to send it to a real technician. I'm just a curious guy messing around with solders and components. ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
