Hey Panasonic--Have you fixed your major design and production flaw--the latch? These should be recalled. (See all comments).

It is fixed. We had to pay for it, but it is still very tough and tight to close the door. I don't know when it will be broken again. I still hear the banging noise.4/16/15 - It is now broken again after spending money to fix it. It is too expensive to use now.

No. Still the same device. Lot of complaints. Not even lasts more than one year without issues. Multiple complaints.

I have not heard of any recall...can't imagine what could be faulty about it. Hmmm...I purchased mine in April 2013.

There's nothing defective about your unit check the second comment for contacts. I own several of these and the internal component isnt lined up correctly. Best of Luck. Stick with it. The reward is worth the trouble.

Hi I just did a google search for mine. I tried doing that for yours and it doesn't find anything, are you sure you are looking for the right model number? Have you tried giving Panasonic a call?

I have no problem with my latch, so you might want to get a replacement or call cuisinart.

I had the same problem. Called panasonic and they said they didn't know the answer. Do I returned it. Worst product yet by Panasonic

I'd recommend you simply don't by this. I've had two break in less then a year, low usage. And Panasonic wanted me to drive to repair shop (1hour), want entry is horrible.

I have had no problems with the latch. My issue with this model is it's very loud, and it doesn't have a 30 sec. Button button.

My L24 lasted five years, now the latch is broken. Still only cost me $100, so I will throw it away.

My camera is new so I have not repaced the batteries yet but I find the door latch awkward and difficult to use. I'm hoping that I don't have problems and will be very careful when replacing batteries. Sorry if this is not very helpful.

Never had that happen, maybe push button again. Take out batteries and see if something is caught in jaws.

My camera's LCD screen is fine, even though I frequently carry it in a too-small pocket, so I'd say that's encouraging, but on the other hand I have no idea why the screen would flake off in the first place, so I have no idea what Panasonic may have done to remedy such an issue. If your camera is less than a year old I would definitely contact Panasonic about that as a warranty issue. I can't see how they could claim such an issue is NOT manufacturing defect in either materials of workmanship.

They all do it. It's the transformer hum, and it isn't indicative of a problem. Braun should have addressed this design flaw prior to releasing the electronics in this configuration. They should have switched to a different transformer, or at the very least reconfigured the charging circuit. That high-frequency noise drives me crazy, but I have learned to live with it. What really makes me angry is that the "LOCK" button for the shaving head is a piss-poor design, and the pin that locks the cam has broken on me. I am not jumping through hoops with Braun service, so I'll rig an alternate pin. For this kind of money, I expected the same Braun quality I have come to appreciate over the last 20 years.

Thanks for the reply. I understand it may be us, not the camera, although I've never had this problem with any other camera. May have to play with the white balance to correct the problem, at least that's what Panasonic told me. Two camera stores couldn't figure it out. Shouldn't be so complicated!

?that's strange.. mine have never done that...and this is my second one. Is it locked in before you turn it on...you should hear a click when you put them in place....sorry I don't know any better answer. I can only guess that it has something to do with the latching mechanism.

*IF* the seller returned his stock as they were instructed to, all current stock should be fixed. Only the seller would know that. You would have to contact them directly before purchase. I would *think* all the old stock with the bug has been sold by now, as everyone was sold out for a few weeks during the recall. Id think its safe now. Even if you got the old version, Uniden will swap it with a new unit, and give you a 3 year extended warranty for your trouble. Not to shabby. Since I see the seller answered already, just disregard my comments and grab one!

I had the same problem, still under warranty, and the company refused to fix them. Do not send them back to B&O (who wanted $50 to fix mine). Go to a local electronics repair shop. I did that and had them fixed for $5.
