Why does it keep powering itself off - even when battery full?

Question edited to add full model designation.
Question moved from Sony Computers.

This doesn't seem to be a very well known model. It is not even listed on their website.

There are normally two batteries, a small one that just saves memory and runs the operating system, and a larger battery that actually powers the camera. Try contacting Sony direct

There is a bit of help here, but not enough.

battery is #1 failure on all portable devices! even 1 year old abused

If it is steady blue then it is ready to be found by your phone. If you see the headset in your phone remove the pairing and repair again. You should hold the multifunction button after turning on until it goes steady blue if you aren't getting a steady blue light in order to pair it.

Has anyone found a solution to this problem that actually works. My bluetooth was working fine for about a month ( yes EM229WM) now it will enter pairing mode ( flashes red and blue) but when phones search for it they can not find the device... If I do not find an answer soon I am going to just take the thing back to walmart

The following are detail instructions on how to Pair (sync) a Plantronics Bluetooth Headset to your Bluetooth Cell Phone:

1 - You need to go into the device you wish to pair it and turn the Bluetooth feature first.

2 - Then you need to place the headset in pairing mode so your phone will find it.

Find your model headset in the instructions below. Once the headset is in "Pairing" mode you will then need to follow the instructions in your cell phone or Bluetooth device's user guide on how to go it to your phone and search for the headset & pair it to a Bluetooth headset.

you have to use a rechargeable battery pack,for some reason those blue controllers and the legendary need the packs or they wont work right regular batterys dont do it even new lithiums wont work.

Yes I do. We have 2 of these cameras, and have tried every kind of battery out there, incuding rechargables.

This little camera does a lot of things for the price, but it is always hungry. We've only found ONE battery that actually works for it (and takes more than 2-3 pics before giving us error messages), and that is the energizer "e" battery in the silver and BLUE package. They have orange and green packs but make sure you try the BLUE ones.

You might think they are a little pricey (we buy ours at the local WM for around $6 for two, or 419 for eight), but they truly work. Plus, even when they no longer power the camera, there is plenty of juice left in them to power other battery operated items. Our hair trimmers have been running for two months now on a pair of batteries that would no longer power up the camera.

That should solve the battery problems. And, we've also noticed the older the camera gets, the moer likely it is to be extremely picky on the batteries and the DC card!

Simply plug the ac adapter into the wall, the laptop will charge the battery itself.

Keep in mind this... in general, a laptop runs at full speed when it is plugged into the wall. When most laptops are running on battery, things are running more at 50% capacity to save on power, this giving you more battery life. A dimmer lcd and slowing the processor down when not needed are common traits.

You can use the FN key (function key) and the corresponding dim control on the keyboard to adjust the brightnedd of the backlight. It should be marked on your keyboard in a different color, like blue or maybe green (not familiar with that models keyboard).
