I have this problem, I lost my AC adapter and I tried to charge the battery using a multi ac adapter, I used 4.5 volts but when I checked the adapter It was 15 v instead of the 4.5, so I inserted 15 volts in my camera and now it doesn´t work, did I burn my camera? does anybody know ow can I make it work again.
PS Sorry about my english, I´m not from USA, thanks for your help
-   I also did this with a charger that i had that fit the dc plug in. and when i tried to turn it on there was a big flash. now the charge light is red when i plug the actual charger in and it wont turn on. do i need to buy a new camera now? -   mkayser18

-   Same problem.. you would think that these companies would put a fuse so you 300$ fragile electronical device doesnt fry up! i would love to know if they do, ill probably just open it up myself.-   Guest

you have most likely fried the internal circuits of the camera. Buy a new one. The $100 will be well spent vs trying to fix this issue

my lcd screen in the back is shattered. I am still able to take great pics, but can not view them on the camera or change any options until I plug it into the tv. How much would it cost to get this fixed?
