Cant check on that from where I am at right now, but most of the Hitachi-made units had a seperate DC/DC converter for the camera power. Usually in a sealed metal box just in front of the deck. Some models had it on the lower front of the main pcb, not sealed. The electrolytics dry out and sometimes leak electrolyte. Occasionally electrolytics on the camera boards are also defective, causing various picture defects.
