I was just recording, then the battery was going down, and I switched out the battery to a fully chagred one. Now when I click 'on', nothing happens! I have tried using other batteries but nothing is working. It is a brand new camera, I looked for corrision and used an eraser, but nothing was there. Help!
This camera and the model before it have a problem with inrush current opening a safety fuse on the DC-DC converter board. If this is the case, JVC will replace the SMD fuse with a modified part number, this should resolve the problem. Please be sure the camera is off before attempting to change the battery, this can also cause this problem. Good Luck. Joe Weibel customelectronics.org
The chemical internal fues located on the regulator board may have opened up and need to be replaced. This is not easy to do without a hot air station, you might damage the board attempting to replace this SMD type fuse with a standard soldering iron. I would refer service to the JVC factory in Lawrenceville, GA. this is not an expensive repair unless there is damage to the board.
We repair many of these for JVC each month, they are very durable cameras and do not have many problems at all, most of the cameras we see have been dropped and abused.
Good Luck to you.

Thank you! I may have changed the battery without the camera being off first, what happens then?
