Panasonic EH80 parts

[joecass]

A good friend has a Panasonic DMR-EH80 hard drive/dvd recorder which stopped working after many years of
heavy use. He sent the unit to Panasonic factory repair, which returned it unrepaired due to a lack of parts.
The parts needed were not specified, but assumed to be the motherboard or video board.
Is there somewhere on line where new/used parts are sold for Pansonic machines, other than Panasonic ?
I've seen many posts on this and other forums regarding repair or replacing hard drives on Panasonic recorders
but none on obtaining parts such as the motherboard or DVD drive. Any info would be appreciated !

This might be a good place to start if Panasonic doesn't have the parts and can't tell you who does.

Of course, unless you know precisely what it is you need, a source for parts is of dubious value.

Good luck.

Some of the motherboards have been discontinued, but the DVD drive is still available.
