I've got a Sony Digital Camcorder, and it stopped working on me. The problem is that it cannot receive power. Because I did not buy this camcorder direct from Sony (I got it through my dad who got it from Japan).
I recently bought a charger and another battery from sony.com (fucking expensive!!), to see if it was my original battery that was the problem. The battery didn't work in the camera when I first took it out of the package, so it's in the charger now. I'm crossing my fingers that when it's done charging it will make my camera work again.
All that I can get from the camcorder is a brief flash of power, then it dies out. I can't even get power long enough to get my tape out of there.
Does anybody know of some good websites for tech advice? I'd probably get more help there than calling Sony. I really don't want to spend a couple hundred dollars fixing it.
Any help appreciated.
