Camera was dropped and wouldn’t turn on. Found disconnected ribbon cable and restored. Seems like everything is working except cannot see what I’m taking a picture of and picture is not making it to memory. Guessing there is a broken connection on the lens that I cannot see. I can veiw things that are already on the memory card and LCD is functioning. Any ideas where to look on the lens for the bad connection?
I would double check the connection coming of the lens. Make sure they are all seated properly and that they are not torn. You mentioned that you had found a disconnected ribbon cable, double check the connector and contacts. I would think that if it got disconnected by a drop there may be some damage to the cable or connector. Good luck and hope you get it fixed. Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5 Camera Lens Assembly Replacement
