JVC-D90 - With a power cord that is working and charged batteries from anouther source the camcorder shows no sign of life. No Power - nothing, is there anything that I could do to solve this problem? Reset? Anything?

many camcorders have a power pack that attaches to the camcorder and then the battery attaches to the power pack you can also put the plug in and run the camcorder when everything's attached

Hi there,

Well all i like to say that first of all you can try changing the battery of your camcorder, this is the most common problem of not charging error..........

Good Luck!!

Thanks for using FixYa!!

The battery is most likely at the end of its life. If the charger is able to run the camcorder with the battery installed, then the charger is most likely not the problem. You just need to pick up a new rechargeable battery.

some of those batteries come with a lid on the face side of the battery where u insert a power cord in order for the camcorder to get power from the battery. (strange........ I know). the battery mounts on the camcorder but acts as as an external source of power. a cord needs to be plugged into the battery and then int the ac adapter jack in order to send power.... that is if it is anything like my camcorder.

As a camcorder technician, I would not recomend to be too creative on charging the battery. The battery plays very important role in today's camcorder design. You need to use correct charging procedure or similiar 3rd party method. I would get one cheap at EBAY. I see over 200 listing under accessories for this camcorder. Good luck.

They sell external battery chargers for these for around 10 bucks at Amazon. Just pop the battery in the charger. Beware the battery itself can be worn down or dead. It also has protection circuits right inside the battery that can be blown (maybe a small fuse too). A new high capacity battery (3 times the recording time) is also at Amazon for around $25.

I bought a replacement data battery BN-VF-808U from Digicowfish through Amazon.com. (?made by PomerPower).
It fits nciely to my JVC Everio GZ-MG330 which uses a BN-VF808U data battery. However, JVC gives a screen message:Communicating Error.
Now I have solved my Communication Error by using a jumper cable provided with the replacement battery BN-VF808U to connect the attached replacement battery to the camcorder. There is a DC input socket on the camcorder. There is also a DC input socket on the replacement battery for direct connection.

There is a circuite protector near by the connector which is coming from the battery to mainboard.Just replace the same.

Just found a workaround for the "cheap battery" problem. The problem is that there is some circuitry in the more expensive JVC batteries that the generics don't have. When this isn't detected by the camcorder, it won't function. It's a neat trick to make you buy the proprietary battery. Also suspecting that with the JVC battery, if the circuitry gets fried for some reason, the battery will no longer work. Well, the generic battery I have has a plug in the back of it so you can charge it with the JVC factory supplied charger. There was also a jumper cord supplied with the camcorder. Plug this in the back of your cheap battery, plug the other end into your DC port on your camera, and voila! You're in business. Downsides are that you have a short cord between the battery and camcorder and the battery indicator won't work so you'll need a spare.

Apparently this same problem exists on many different models. I have a JVC grd72u. I called JVC @ 800-252-5722. I selected the "Corrective Action Program" prompt from the automated attendent. I spoke to a customer service rep. They are aware of the problem and are fixing it for free, but only until 12/31/07. I suggest you call ASAP and get your name in the computer. If the problem is something besides the CCD sensor, they will call you with the estimate to repair.
