Creative Technology Vado Pocket Video Cam HD Camcorder - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

I wonder if the internal battery has failed. Link to Creative Support, see if they do repairs. https://www.google.com/search?q=Creative+Vado+HD+repair ..

It's either a bad camera (it happens) or you have to hold the power button down for A FEW seconds not just push it.

Have you looked on Google for the manual (note spelling) ?

This camera is the MOST frustrating piece of "technology" ever. I've tried everything to fix this issue. Replacing the battery, new firmware, etc. NEVER again will i buy any product from Creative. That's how much trouble this camcorder has given me. Solution=Throw it away and buy a GoPro.

It sounds like you have a bad battery. Here is your replacement battery:

You have to pull the battery and then put it back in. Don't plug it into the computer unless its on, otherwise it won't turn on when you unplug it.........not sure why it does that.

you need to choose the right video format, so that the video will play smoothly.

Remove the battery. Camera will turn off. Put the battery back in, hopefully it will restart. Worked for me. Good luck.

To get your LG LV720 video cassette recorder out of safe mode, you can follow these steps: Locate the original remote control that came with your VCR. Look for a button marked as C.LOCK or LOCK. Press this button. This should allow you to exit the safe mode3. If you don't have the original remote, you might face some difficulties. Some users have reported success by pressing the record button for 6 seconds on their Panasonic VCRs but it's unclear if this will work for an LG model.

I would check the IR lamps work on the front of the camera.

This may be bad belts, and what you should check for is the belts on the side of the tape deck toward the lens and pickup(front), and the drive belt in the middle. All the belts are under the circuit board, so you need to remove that to get at them, and then you can replace them with rubber bands of same or slightly smaller size. Use a screwdriver to help get the old belts off, and put new ones on. (In the tight space) Then check if the tape deck opens and closes, and see if the tape moves when you hit play/record. If you put in a tape you know has a video written onto it, then put that in, and try to play it. If you get a noisy or staticky picture, then try wiping the video head drum(Big shiny cylinder that spins, with the small slits in the side.) with some alchohol and a glasses cleaning cloth or paper. Also, wipe the audio/control head, the silver box that the tape runs across just before it goes by the black roller. Also, check for gunk or obstructions that have gotten in the mechanism of the tape deck in the back. Make sure the video drum is spinning, and that the tape is pulled out of the cassette by some small rollers and wrapped around the video drum DURING playback/record. I say 'during' because some camcorders will retract the tape back to the cassette for fast forward and fast rewind. I hope you get your camcorder to work! Thanks! 73 Sincerely, Beauregard42.

Then what happened ?

There is no software online, it was a 'one hit wonder' and it says the disc that came with it only contained drivers and Ulead Video Studio 7, Ulead Photo Express 5. Fairly typical on such devices. Everything for $100 including the disc. https://www.ebay.ca/itm/275425639098 https://www.manualslib.com/manual/315830/Svp-Hddv-2100.html Driver Guide says it has them. Or you can connect the the camera to the computer, turn it on, then go to Device Manage in Settings and you will see a device with a banged out triangle icon,. Right click and click Find Driver. Microsoft should have one that works. https://www.google.com/search?q=svp+hddv+2600+video+camera+drivers+download ..

From speaking to a repair centre this is a very common problem with Panasonic camcorders.
I got the impression it was a panasonic problem with a connector that needed either cleaning or replacing. 
There are 2 fixes, one is cheap quick and temporary.
The other involves sending the camcorder away to be professionally repaired, it should cost the minimum fee, which was £50 in 2007.  

As for the cheap version, it involved turning the camcorder off and hitting it against a copy of the yellow pages and turning on again.  This worked for long enough to record my 2nd daughters birth.

Check the PC and confirm device driver is installed properly ?
