There are a few possibilities. One of the contact pins on the camera may be dirty or bent. The wiring coming from the pins to the circuit board inside the camera may be broken. A fuse inside of the camera may be blown (if there is a separate fuse for battery power). The battery even though it was charging for many hours may still be drained because it's old or defective - check the battery voltage with a digital volt meter to verify, and for absolute verification you should check the battery voltage under load when it's plugged into the camera and the camera is switched ON - is the voltage more or less constant or did the battery get loaded down and voltage level is now way below spec? Those in my mind would be the first few things to check.
Good luck.

Battery cannot be recharged.

OK, Batteries have cycles and these get depleated by recharging thus once there all gone well the battery will not charge. The facts here 9 timeso ut of 10 it would be the battery but I will not holdthat over your head. Take it to a camera shop and discover it for yourself as what you going to end up doing anyhow. If it where the charger I would reckon it would not even try the first time.

Thanks and please be considerate when leaving a postive rating and feedback

Whenever I turn camera on it immediately turns off.Battery new and fully charged.

Here are the steps for M873 no power problems: 1. Clean the battery contacts. a. Remove the battery/batteries and the memory card from your camera, then wipe the battery contacts with a soft, clean cloth. b. Reinstall the battery/batteries into your camera. Please make sure that you are installing a fresh/ fully charged battery c. Turn the camera on. 2. Without the memory card, turn your camera on. (If it works then it?s your memory card that is faulty) 3. Please test with the a different battery If you do not have access to another battery Try these steps instead: Please take the battery out of the camera. b. Insert the charger into the unit from the main socket and turn the camera on. If the camera works you will need to replace the battery. If you camera doesn?t switch on you will need to order a no power repair with KODAK or a new cable.

Hi My Dell M1530 doesn't start up The battery is fully charged, the power cord is working good(the light is on) but the laptop doesn' give a sign that is connected to power

There could be a problem with the battery. A fast check to determine whether you have a problem with the power adapter, power cord or the laptop's battery is to turn off the laptop, remove the battery, connect the power adapter, turn on the laptop & see if it works.
If the laptop works directly from the power adapter with the battery removed, then the power adapter is good. In this case we can suspect that the battery is defective & needs to be replaced.

Panasonic vx37

My old Panasonic Palmcorder IQ shows a red light in both switch positions-camera and VCR. Maybe yours has red for camera and green for VCR so you could tell them apart. I found that the Panasonic battery that came with the camera was the cheapest kind with the least charging time. I bought other batteries, they were good for a while, but now, many years later, they won' t hold a charge. Since I am only recording inside of my house, I have resorted to using the AC wall socket for power. I have to take the battery out of the camera. I found a power plug-in hole (like ones on cell phones) in the battery compartment. I also found one of these holes on my battery charger. My camera came with a double ended power plug. I plug one end into my camera and the other end into the battery charger. I plug the charger power cord into the wall outlet, and I have power to my older camera. Maybe you can find this double ended power cord at a store or on line.

Did you know that there are 2 kinds of batteries? Some have memories and others do not rely on a memory. The ones with memories have to be fully discharged or they will only charge a little, and keep charging less and less each time they are charged. The ones without the memory can be charged fully without being discharged fully. Check into battery information on line to get more information. Maybe you can get the non-memory kind.
