In this case, I suggest that you format the Internal Memory of the Camcorder using the Camcorder as follows:

Touch HOME -> Manage Media -> Media Format -> touch the recording Media to be formatted[INT. MEMORY] or [Memory Stick] -> YES -> YES -> OK.

Formatting the Internal Memory or Memory Stick will delete all the data saved in the Internal Memory or in the Memory Stick.

You may also refer the page # 36 in the Manual of the Camcorder for more information about this.

Please download the manual (Operating Guide) of the Camcorder from this link:

Good Luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tried this? 1.Push the hold switch towards the headphone jack so you see orange
2.Press and hold record on the left of the player
3.With record still being held down, plug into the computer
4.Once you see welcome to recovery mode on the screen of the player, let go of record
At this point you can reload the manual firmware by copying the firmware files to the detected removable disk.
Firmwares- Version 1 Version 2
Download the correct version or else it will render your device useless.Version can be found on the back plate at botton right.. Extract the downloaded file and transfer the contents to removable disk detected.After transferring,disconnect the player and let it upgrade the firmware

Have you checked all settings are correct for this, and the correct memory is inserted ?

Make sure the batteries are fully charged. It may be your batteries may show they are charged but are too leak to operate the camera. Try a new one

Try to open cassatte cover fully ,and cassatte is automatic comes out.

there can be many reasons. rusted contacts, or blown up fuses, or a short circuit in the power board, and may be some thing else. No one can help unless he examines the camera.
