Canon ZR600 Mini DV Digital Camcorder Logo
Posted on Nov 10, 2007

No power coming through charger to camera.

I hooked my ZR600 up to the charger cord after the batt. was completely dead. The charge light came on and blinked like normal. When I checked a few minutes later, it was off and now I have no power to the camera screen or any where else. I checked the batt. with an OHM meter and got an 8v reading. The camera charger shows an 8v reading and the camera batt.poles show that they connect when touched by the OHM wires.
Is ther a fuse or some other internal problem?
The camera is less than a year old and I love it. Please help!

I would like to fix it myself, if possible.


ps: the round batt. is ok too.

    I rechecked the battery and didn't have an 8v reading only a 5v. So it didn't charge very long before cutting out.

    I've tried 3 different wall plug-ins with no betteer results.

    Same problem.  The video cam was plugged into the wrong charger.

    I have a canon zr600 that does not activate with the battery and will not charge. I replaced the battery and still no luck. The battery I replaced it with was fully charged. Nothing wrong with the round battery either.

I have a jvc video camera that had no power. I got a new battery and charged it. It worked for a few minutes so I took battery out and a few days later installed the battery again, but had no power. What could be wrong with my camera. The old battery I had would be charged, but would have no power in short while after installing it also.

There are four little fuses on the mainboard but you wouldnt be able to repair them they would need to be fixed but there also could be a problem with the lens sometimes on that model that could cause the problem you have described sometimes when i repair a power cam problem it will act up again and the mainboard needs to be replaced its a good camera but a problem like that you should send it in if you still have a warranty or upgrade to a zr 830 or 850

My Samsung L73 digital camera will not charge. Batt is dead. When I plug the charger in, the camera led turns green, then orange, then off. No matter how long I leave the charger plugged in, it will not...

Have you recharged the battery many times since you owned it? Did you leave it alone for an extended time and it completely discharged and died? Rechargeable batteries sometimes only last 3 years.

Charging red light flashing on and off have a new charger and still rd light flashing

Try this i tired it and it worked... If not you may needa new batt. Just plug the power cord into the craddle, not the usb. Then put the camera on the craddle and let the red light come on, but not long engough to let it flash. Repeat this like 10 - 12 times jsut putting it on for a couple seconds. This will boast the batt engough to let the camera software know that once you put it on the dock that is is suppost to charge! Good luck any other questionos you can email me at [email protected]

Low Battery, Connected car charger, now is dead

May be the battery won't have charge, keep 1 or 2 hrs continues charges, and if it is not working then you have to replace the battery set full.

I'm having difficulty putting a charge on the battery on my panasonic ag 188...the battery hasn't been used in years. Some change is happening when I charge the batt onboard the camera (plugged into the...

I had the same problem. I hope you have a battery charger. The many older batteries I have needed charging, but they wouldn't hold a charge when I tried to charge them with the battery charger. My batteries were the kind that had a memory, and I guess that the battery memories are dead. So, I saw that I had a double ended power cord that came with my camera. I took the battery out of the camera and saw a power-in hole. I just tried connecting the double ended power cord to the camera and to a power hole I found on the battery charger. It worked and gave power to the camera. It did not explode. I could not find a manual on any of the many websites. I think that the camera I bought (Panasonic Palmcorder IQ PV-IQ403) doesn't exist in the available manuals. Maybe you can find a double ended power cord and a battery charger on line or in a store.

The following information might be useful to others. The camera cassette door will not open without having the power on to the camera. The camera connects to a TV with RCA cords.

My camera power switch has 2 settings. Use the camera setting to use the camera to record and see what you are recording displayed on the TV. You must change the power switch to the VCR setting in order to play back the recording and see it on the TV. Change the switch back again to use the camera. (You can also see the playback through the viewfinder.)

My camera has a remote control which is stored in a slot. I found that the battery is in a tiny sliding door. I had to use a screwdriver to gently dislodge it from the case, my fingernail was not strong enough. The movable tab had to be pushed inward to release the catch. The coin battery was not corroded. (CR-2025)

In order to play a VHS-C tape, you must have a VHS PlayPak. The cassette door will not open unless you have a battery loaded into the cassette. When the door opens, you can insert the VHS-C tape into the opening. The VHS PlayPak holder is the same size as a regular VHS tape. It can be found on-line.

Why won't my charging light come on when I try to charge?

hi

Try to leave it on charge for a 24 hrs. If the batt gets below a certain voltage the charger will not come up to fast charge rates(light on) to prevent damage to the batt. If it does not take a charge, it is possible that it is faulty. If you have been using the batt regularly and it suddenly stopped taking a charge, it may be the charger at fault. If you you have not used the batt for a while, it may be faulty. only way to really check for sure is to try a new batt. If you have any more questions about it, just ask away. Good luck
