Finally, Panasonic told them they replaced those on warranty. And they did (here in Denmark). So try if it is possible. Sounds to me Panasonic just recently, like three weeks ago, told their repair houses to repair these on warranty.</blockquote>

We sent it to a repair shop in Montreal, who charged us a $45 estimate and said it would cost $650 to fix. Then we found this:

Called Panasonic (spoke to Scott), they said they will repair it for free, and reimburse our estimate. Nice! They sent us to Acadian electronic in Montreal.
