  Hi,
  
  found this on internet:
  
  "My Panasonic NV-VHD1B-S went faulty after 8 months ownership from new (December 2002)
  and it displayed the dreaded F498 error code.
  None of the DVD/CD control buttons on the front panel or remote controller
  would operate the DVD functions.
  The VHS functions continued to work OK??? I returned the unit to the dealer
  (12th August 2003) and it was repaired and returned within 24hrs.
  The dealer report read as follows:- "Repaired dry joint on flash memory IC.
  (Flash Memory IC37001, Prt No. RFKFD002A080)" Dry joints are common on old
  electronic equipment but unusual on new equipment.
  Because the F498 error code is quite common, I suggest this points to a
  manufacturing defect, possibly in the flow soldering process. The remedy
  in my case was simple: resolder the defective joints by hand. No new parts
  were required. Regards Phil "

    I have the same problem - could you point me in the right direction i.e. which joints need re-soldering?
