Introduction

If you need to replace the HDD of your Panasonic SDR H-100, follow this guide. The HDD is where the memory is stored for the camcorder. Without this the videos and pictures that are taken cannot be saved.

Tools

Step 1

Remove the four 4-mm screws on the bottom of the camcorder.
The screws are two different colors: three blacks and one silver.

Step 2

Remove the three 6-mm screws on the hand-strap side of the camera.

Step 3

Pull out the charging port (DC input terminal) cover and remove the 4-mm screw located next to the input terminal.

Step 4

Flip out the LCD screen to expose the inner screws. Remove the two black 4-mm screws.
One screw is located by the hinge of the LCD screen. The second is close to the upper-right corner of the camcorder body.

Step 5

Using a firm hold on both sides of the camcorder, gently pull apart the casing under the hand strap.
Pressure should be evenly distributed across entire device.
Detach gently so the ribbon cable is not damaged!

I want to buy NEW SDR 100. I'm in Nigeria. How do I get one? And how much in Naira?

Step 6

Use tweezers to grab the ribbon cable at the connection point and slowly lift it away from the connector.
This linkage point connects the HDD directly to the motherboard.
