If the camera works off the mains power supply then there's a good chance the battery is kaput. Sony Infolithium batteries often 'die' like this.....

The only way to check this is to try another battery on the camcorder. If that doesn't work there's an issue with the camcorder itself... In which case it needs looked at by an engineer.

With everything in the off/charge position the camera should just get on with it when plugged into the mains
