DSV-V1 no power, doesn't react on battery or batterycharger

Hello,
anyone any idea HOW I could check this problem myself ?
Suddenly ,from one moment into another my Sony is "dead"....?
I checked the charger and he is ok.
But i cannot check the battery because it has to be charged when placed into the camera.
So, the camera doesn't react on any kind of use of knobs.
thank you .
Kind regards
Patrick

    Hello Obertelli,
    thank you very much for your reaction.
    So, you mean that this camera cannot be used on the power supply ONLY , it's always through the presence of the battery that one can use this cam ?
    Maybe there is a possibiltiy to "check" the battery ,I mean if it is "broken" or not.
    Yes it's a NP-FC11,Li-On ,but cannot see anywhere "info lithium".I have a picture but cannot send it using this reply I guess ? ;-)
    I live in Belgium ,so a little bit difficult to send it to you ,but thanks anyway.
    kind regards,
    Pat

You may still have a battery fault, and the only way you'll find out is to buy or borrow an external charger such as the Sony BC-VC10. Buying a new battery won't solve it as they're supplied uncharged.

If you live in the UK and can post the battery to me I'll try to recharge it for you and will post it back afterwards.

BTW: Is your battery a genuine Sony InfoLITHIUM C, model number NP-FC11?

    Hi Pat, sorry for the delay.

    I've just double checked my DSC-V1 using the original power supply (charger) cable (haven't used it for years since getting a separate charger!) and yes, the camera will work even without a battery fitted when the external power supply is connected. If your camera does not do the same then the charger is broken.

    Genuine Sony NP-FC11's will have the word InfoLITHIUM C printed on the back of them, so it's possible that yours is either a "compatible" battery or a fake. Even if it's genuine, then it can fail suddenly as the genuine battery contains a microprocessor which can fail.

    The DSC-V1 is a great little camera and it's certainly worth getting your battery checked or replaced if the external charger functions correctly. Belgium isn't far (I'm in Croydon in the south-east of England), so my offer still stands regarding trying out your battery in my camera: it's a lot cheaper than buying a new one and finding it doesn't work. Beware of batteries on eBay or Amazon though as I've found that most are fakes. You can contact me directly on dhobargooglemail.co.uk if you'd like to arrange for me to try your battery and recharge it. If you do send me an email then let me know by adding a further comment as the address I've given is a disposable one as an anti-spam measure.

    Regards,

    Rob

you probably have a faulty abs sensor, the whole system gets information from the abs. If that sensor is reading improperly, it thinks the car is doing something it's not supposed to and it's reacting.

My screen in in dark negative and cant see whats on
Hello Mandy,
A dim screen or one that is black or suddenly blacks out, it might just be a power or battery issue. Do some troubleshooting. Check the power connection and see if its loose, then unplug it and take out the battery pack, then press the ON button for 20 seconds or so. Then put the battery back in. If that doesn`t work, you could have a burned out visual back light or a loose inverter. If the problem doesn`t go away, don`t open the LCD monitor and try to fix it yourself as that will void the warranty. Sorry for the late reply.
Thanks,Reymond

Hey, How to check the motherboard of PSP TA-088. what is the version of TA-088? It means TA-088 v1 or TA-088 v2 or TA-088 v3. Could anyone me about this.
There is quite a bit of speculation on how to determine this. The following site will give you some insight: http://my.malloc.us/silverspring/2008/08/clarification-of-new-ta-088-models/ . If it is to load custom firmware, there is no harm in trying the pandora battery. It does not brick the v3 PSP. It just does not work. I tried it myself. Hope it helps.

Tom tom one v1 Loose power connector
If the problem exists both when you use the vehicle power connector and the usb cable to your computer, then you have to assume that the problem is with the socket on the One. If it's still in warranty, I would send it back to Tom Tom for repair. Contact customer support for repair information.

Slow in clicking photo on DSC-V1
The DSC-V1 can use a Memory Stick of up to 2GB so that's not your problem.

Rather than type out a whole step by step guide on how all the menu settings can affect the camera, it's easier to just reset the camera to the factory defaults to see if that fixes the problem.

There's a small hole about 1mm in diameter on the camera base plate, just by the battery cover hinge clearly marked "reset". There's a button inside which you'll need to press whilst the camera is turned on, use anything which fits in the hole such as a paperclip (don't use a pencil though!).

If the symptoms cease, then it was a user setting which was the cause. If not, then the camera will need disassembly to diagnose and fix but sadly it's an uneconomic repair.

Note that a reset also returns the folder and file numbering to zero as well. To avoid overwriting previously uploaded photos uploaded you'll need to go into the menu system to manually set this to your needs. if you don't know what file number you were up to then just start with a new folder instead.
