This is usually caused by a failed component in the power circuit within the camera and can usually be repaired fairly inexpensively. However, it's not a user serviceable problem and will need to be repaired 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'm semi retired and work from home with little overhead so I can keep repair costs low. If you decide to have the camera repaired, please click HERE for a directory listing that suits your needs.

GT40s treadmill. Why doesn't it turn on?

Your treadmill may not be turning on due to a broken or a failed power supply or a broken power cord or a tripped circuit breaker switch a failed circuit breaker switch a bad power switch or wiring failure or a bad motor control board or failed console display screen can stop the treadmill from turning on. If the outlet is not working try to reset the house circuit breaker which is located inside of the fuse box to restore power to the outlet.

When the back up battery needs replacing will a canon gl2 operate

I am sorry I do not have a ready answer for that. Just remove the backup battery and try the camera. You can't hurt anything, and the worst is you have to reset your time and date.

My canon gl2 lcd screen and viewfinder black

Same thing happened to me. No display, no menu, no S-video output while in camera mode, but in VCR mode all was OK. Turning power off and on did not help until I also disconnected the AC power adapter. BTW, Mr. Riggins did not read the question before he answered.

No Power

does the camera work with the a/c power adapter?
If not then it could be something internal.
But if it works with the adapter, your batteries are bad or your battery terminals are dirty.
But just to be safe I would replace the back-up battery which is locate in the screen pocket of the camera. its a CR-2025 Nickel Cadmium battery
also I don;t know if you have a manual but here is a link to one.
