No Power Good evening I believe my camera power supply is blown, I recently moved and lost the original plug, I tried several other plugs, but none worked. I later found the original one and nothing happens when I plug it in. I am in Hampton, Va and am trying to find a service center. Help!?

There could be several reasons why the Canon XA10 camera is not powering on when the power button is pressed. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue:

1. Check the battery: Make sure the battery is charged and properly inserted into the camera. If the battery is low or dead, the camera may not turn on.
2. Check the power adapter: If you are using the AC adapter, make sure it is properly plugged into the camera and the power outlet.
3. Try a different battery or power adapter: If you have another battery or power adapter, try using it to see if the camera powers on. If it does, the original battery or adapter may be faulty.
4. Reset the camera: Remove the battery and memory card from the camera, then press and hold the power button for at least 30 seconds. Reinsert the battery and memory card, then try turning on the camera again.
5. Contact Canon customer support: If none of the above steps work, the issue may be with the camera's internal components. Contact Canon customer support for further assistance.

check the fuse located in the male plug of the power supply, if problem still going on, replace the power supply...

If there is any way you can find another power supply that you know works and try it, this will be a really good troubleshooting step. If you know anyone anywhere that has a similar laptop. Or try your power supply on another computer that takes a similar power supply, to see if it works on a known good laptop. Also, try using your power supply on your laptop with the battery removed. If the battery is bad enough, it might make the laptop not boot, even though it is plugged in. If there is no other laptop or power supply available, you should at least be able to use a multimeter to test the output voltage of the power supply. The expected output voltage should be printed on the power supply.
If the plug is loose in the socket on the laptop, the socket may be broken off the motherboard. Some laptops do not have the socket soldered directly to the motherboard, but most do, requiring a motherboard replacement if the socket is broken off.

Better check that power supply & where it plugs in at out. Also,make sure all the connections are plugged in tight inside. Never assume that a replaced part is good & if you went after-market for the power supply, don't go super cheap. Buy a good one with a good warranty & the same if not more juice than the original.

Found 1 of the 2 ac supply ( 8amp) fuses blown on the main pwr. supply. Replaced fuse and good so far. Looked over the ps for damaged components, none found. Checked current with ampmeter with tv on, showing 3amps. Cheers

Before you actually replace the power supply, check some other things first:
1. Wall socket
2. Power strip/surge protector
3. Power cable
4. On the back of the computer, where the power cable plugs into, is the red switch set to 115? It should be 115.
5. Make sure that the power cable is not connected to a regular extension cord. Power cable must plug directly into a surge protector that is not daisy-chained to another power strip, surge protector, or normal (household) extension cord. Surge protector must be directly plugged into wall socket.

If none of the above solve the problem, open up the case and ensure that all power connections are secure. Also check ALL other components' connections. Any loose connections can cause problems for you.

If everything is secure and the problem persists, replace the power supply.

Hi mate, I had same problem as you, took the cam into store and teh guy helped me out.

Make sure you get the recharger for the camcorder, then plug it into teh camcorder and also to the wall power when you are uploading the files. It can needs an extra power boost to get the files onto your computer.

- so plug in your camcorder to computer
- also plug in the battery recharger cord to the camcorder

Should work fine!!

Check for 5 volts present at pins of EEPROM IC. ( 8 pin-center
front) = no 5 volts = Re-check power supply components such as AC in resistor 2.7 Ohm ?....Or 5 volts ok,then suspect EEPROM corrupted........part # 223957 ( install 8-pin socket,then re-plug in original, if that doesn't clear it, plug in
new part) Use pre-programmed after-market replacement,if you 
can get it.....Let me know....T.

sounds to me that the power supply has blown, or fuse onthe power supply. If you remove the left side cover you will see the power supply. Please unplug the machine first. check fuses if they are good, the power supply is bad.Let me know if you need more help.

Firstly try another battery to remove this as a possible issue. After this check the contacts in the battery compartment are clean and dry (moisture will kill a camera dead quick) If this is good then try plugging in the USB cable. This will sometimes kick the camera back to life. failing this some cameras are eqipped with a dc cord, try plugging it into the wall using the supplied transformer) If none of this helps then give it a light (light) tap against a hard surface and see if anything flickers (make sure there is power) Failing all of this there is little hope I'm afraid. Electronics these days are indeed disposable (not cheap yet still disposable) I will think up some more trys if none of this works.
