DCR-HC42 doesnt work with batteries

My camera suddenly stopped working with batteries. When I connect to the power supply through the power adapter, it works fine.
But when I pull the cables out and try to run on batteries, it doesnt.
I bought a new battery and an external charger to charge them. The batteries are charged up for sure.
Any ideas on I can fix it?

is you charger working?if you have background in eletronics you may use the multimeter and see if the required voltage is present.
if the voltage(required written on your adapter) is present,make sure the cable is correctly connect and then if the problem persist you can change the battery(get a new or put another from your friend to see the real problem)

Camera will not insert tape. Mechanism works OK without tape. Sony dcr-hc42

A C31:40 error indicates that the drum (the spinning video head) is either not spinning or is not supplying a signal to the main computer to tell the computer it is spinning. It could be a bad drum or a loose connection. It will likely take a qualified technician to verify the diagnosis.
