The camcorder seems to have gotten stuck zoomed all the way to highest magnification. The on-camera zoom switch does nothing, and neither does the remote, tending to rule out a mechanical problem with the switch. Resetting the camera hasn't helped either. Does anyone have a suggestion what to try next?
[If it had gotten stuck zoomed out, the camcorder would have still been mostly usable. Stuck this way, it's almost useless.]

I opened up the case to check the zoom button and now the camera doesn't power on. I suspect I've tripped switchor something. How to I get the camera back on?

This is most likely a defective zoom rocker switch assembly andcan usually be repaired fairly inexpensively. However, it's not a user serviceable problem and will need to be repairedby a qualified service technician.
My name is Rick and I'm a professional repair technician with over 20 years in the business and have repaired many of these. I
Ive seen this three times and everytime its been something differant. Fist was the rocker switch was jammed. easy fix as dirt was in there. Second was a small serface maounted capacitor in the zoom interface circuit. An third never found the problem as we thought it was a limit switch in the lens itself but the customer never paid for a new lens assy so we didnt order it. Good luck
In addition to the optical zoom, this camera is equipped with a super zoom and digital zoom for taking telephoto and wide-angle shots. The super zoom and digital zoom cannot be used at the same time. Super zoom is used to extend the optical zoom up to 14× magnification. However, the resolution is automatically fixed at 1600 ×1200.
Digital Zoom is used to extend the maximum optical zoom to approximately 40x. However, pictures taken with the digital zoom may appear grainy.
Camera shake is likely to occur at these higher magnifications, please see “camera shake” question for further details on this.

When you change the focal length of a zoom lens, the subject is magnified. Optical zoom replicates the zoom of a 35mm camera. Digital zoom takes a portion of the image's data and displays it at full size, producing a magnification of the original image, similar to the effect of using a telephoto lens. However, the process is different from the magnification produced using the camera's optical zoom, and the stronger the digital zoom, the more the image will degrade.
Zoom stuck in the CLOSEST position.
