No power Camera will not power on. I've tried new batteries. will not charge from camera dock. Dock is operational with my other camera. From the dock, the green light will occasionally come on and the Kodak logo displays, but then goes out. I'm bummed. I love this camera!
Not sure if this is related, but our's won't start-up either, and it seems to indicate that the batteries are weak/dead prematurely. There must be some sort of power level controller that could be the root problem.

You have to charge the removable battery in the charging dock.
it is then placed on the charging dock that is plugged into the power outlet.
The battery needs to be slided in the direction of the arrow on the charging dock.
The battery is located in the camera at the back near the bottom of the camera. http://www.nodevice.com/download/user_manual/panasonic+nv-vz1.html
Although you did not mention what Dock you are using, I assume it is the Camera Dock 6000. Is the Dock connected with the power supply? Because only connected to the PC with a USB cable will not be enough. Also the LiIon battery in the camera, should be charged at least once. If the battery is completely empty the dock will have trouble to. The dock can be used to charge your camera. Then the lights should indicate the state of the battery. And the Dock can be used to transfer pictures to the PC. But before that will work correct you have to install the software that came with the camera. (Easy Share software)
Hi there is a problem with your camera power connector point. May its burn from from the inside or the circuit board is short. You need to visit any camera repair store for check that items.
You can charge the batteries in three ways 1. Using an AC power adapter. Connect the AC power adapter to the camera trough the power adapter connector below the usb connector on the right side of the camera (looking from front). Then connect it to the AC power outlet. 2. If you have an optional HP Photosmart camera dock, plug the camera in the dock and then dock the camera. Same thing if you have a wireless dock.
While the battery is charging, the battery charging light in the camera blinks. Once the battery is fully charged, the blinking light stays solid.
It is better that you read the user manual for the camera. If you dont have one, download it free from the web: http://www.retrevo.com/search/v2/jsp/mytrevo/myTrevo.jsp?page=man
The charging procedure is given with figures on page 6.
Jeff, you didn't verify the type of battery that you have on your camera, is that the KLIC-5000? if yes then still it will not charged on your dock try to charged your camera using the 5V AC adapter. If your camera will not turn on using the 5V AC adapter or will not turn on using your dock it means the camera is defective and not your battery or charger. You can still contact Kodak repair center at 1 800 665 6515 they will handle your issue.
Hello June, This sounds pretty easy, I repair these cameras. It sounds like you have a problem with the adapter that plugs into the wall outlet. Remove the battery from the camera and plug the a/c adapter directly in to the camera and try to power on the camera,if it powers on then the problem is the dock,if it do not power on it is the a/c adapter. Best Regards, Russell
Hi, I think I can answer your question, i just tried something with my camera and camera dock.
My camera came with a Kodak battery pack(pack that looks like 2 batteries connected together). When I place my camera with this battery pack in it on the dock, a green light comes on on the dock and the batteries begin to charge. However, when i place any other rechargeable batteries in the camera on the dock, it has no effect, my theory is that it must be a battery pack, possibly by the same manufacturer so that it will charge correctly
First, the dock will charge only the batteries that came with the device; not other rechargeable batteries. Be sure that the Kodak battery is inserted correctly, the door is closed securely, and that the camera is securely seated in the dock with the power cord secure to both the dock and the AC outlet. The USB cord does not supply power to the dock. Hope this helps. DigiChick
the dock won't charge batteries that are ni-mh kaa2hr or Li-ion battery pack - so check that
about the printer's ability to recognize the cam, try this.. remove batt, put cam on top of dock (when cameras are on a dock, they can use the dock's power so you can print pictures without batteries) check if somethign will come up on the cam screen
if not .. either would need to be sent in for repair. a digital rep will advise you to send both so the repair center can check
