I have a Panasonic AG-1970 VCR which has been a good workhorse for many years. Now today it is giving me some flashing "d" on the front panel. If you insert a tape it immediately comes back out and never winds up. Also, the power button does not work anymore--on the machine or from the remote. I cannot find any error message like this. I should mention that many times we have bumped the machine hard when it is not tracking well---always seemed to fix it right up every time. My wife says she bumped it once today and got this message. Now the machine is basically dead. Or is it just mostly dead? Thanks!

Wayne...saw your posting & I think I can help. Looking at a Panasonic manual for a similar deck, it says this "d" is a code for "dew" or condensation. It says (quote):
When condensation forms inside the unit, the error message "d" will be displayed on the counter and all operation buttons are made inoperative. Leave the unit on and let it remain at room temperature until "d" disappears. Depending on the surrounding conditions, this may take several hours.
Sure hope this helps!
