Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T3

Yes! mine works the same way, when fully charged it cuts power to the battery.

Hi,
You can charge the battery of the Camera for 4 to 6 hours when used initially. For normal full recharging, it takes, 330 minutes. The practical charge time of the battery is for 270 minutes.
Thanks for using FixYa.

I have new LCD panels starting at $29.99 for your camera. I also can repair the camera for you with fast turn around times. Just let us know. Chrisveal@msn.com

The first charge you should let it go overnight, so it has a good solid charge. After that it depends on the mAH of the battery, the higher the number, like 1400, it should take about 3 hours. There should be a led light on the charger, its red when charging and turns green when completed. The chargers have a voltage regulator on them, so that you can't over charge a battery.

Its LCD is faulty. Took your camera at Sony Service Shop they will replace it in Free of Cost because this is in FOC Basis category.
