I have brought new batteries and my camera is not turning on...why? thank you alexsis

The battery door is at the bottom of the uvideo camera, near the Tripod Mount.

If you already tried a new battery, I would suggest cleaning the battery terminals with alcohols and a q-tip first and check for loose terminals. It may be a power switch which unfortunately can't be changed or fixed by the average user. If you want to trouble shoot further and feel you can do it yourself, I will send you links on repair. Otherwise it should be brought in to a reputable repair shop.

This is cause by a bad flash componet inside the camera that has malfuction witch puts a huge DRAW on the battiers this causes the unit not to recieve power to the rest of the unit. I would seriously have a camera shop look at (hate to bring you bad news but it is what it is) if its under warranty seek out that repair.


thanks and please do be considerate wiht your ratings and feedbacks. Have a good day.

hi, what type of batterys have you brought as most normal batterys you buy wont even switch the camera on you need hi power batterys such as lithium or even better go into a camera shop and they will have special high power bats, normal bats wont even switch mine on so give different batts a try

let me know how you get on or if you need fyrther assistance ok

First, are the batteries inserted correctly? Try cleaning the battery contacts in the camera with a cotton swab lightly dampened with rubbing alcohol.

This could be due to a stuck lens motor or bad battery contacts. This could be brought to a camera shop for repair for under $35 bucks. I suggest you have a professional look at it before trying it yourself, Thanks for using Fixya.com.

i had that problem with another camera i toggled with the lens it went in and works like a charm. Dont be to gentile it will go in

There is only two possibility why the battery didn't charge.
1) cradle ( socket at camera side ) faulty.
2) the power adaptor faulty ( no dc voltage,can use volt meter to confirm ).

it worth repairing .Thks

1. Check batteries.
2. Connect camera to an AC adapter.
3. Remove all batteries, disconnect AC adapter, wait a minute, reinsert batteries and reconnect adapter. Turn on camera.

I have the same camera... and it was doing the same thing AFTER i changed my old batteries, because they were getting low. It was only after i put in the NEW batteries that i had this problem... I tried putting the old batteries back in and sure enough it worked again, so it probably all just depends on the brand of the battery you use.
