Introduction
Use this guide to replace the foldable LCD (liquid crystal display screen) on your Panasonic VDR-D220 DVD. This type of screen is an iconic trademark of this type of camera and is an essential part of this camera's functioning.
If the LCD screen will not turn on at all, you may have a damaged display cable. If the display cable is not damaged, you will need to replace the LCD. Check the troubleshooting page for more details on what could be wrong with the Panasonic DVD.
