My camcorder turns off when I put the charger in....?

Question

Alright, I have a Sony video camera... Every time I put the charger in it turns off! And when I put the charger in when its turned off it does not show the light( indicating it is charging)... hELP ME PLEASE:)

Answer 1

try and remove the battery then see if the charger powers the camera up, if it does that, then the battery may be bad.

If the battery shows "infolithium battery only" error, then the battery is bad

Try borrowing a friends charger to see if the charger is bad, that would be very rare, I usually have about 40 chargers here, and I rarely see a dead one.

Answer 2

strange relationship betw charger & vcam huh

Answer 3

Well, we had one that did that, and it was actually a bad charger. The charger was no good...dead.

If it normally had the light indicating that it was charging, and now it doesnt, your charger may be bad.

Or, it could be the type that goes on standby, and shuts the camera off, but it shouldnt be like this...

If this is something new, and its never done this, look into trying a new charger....

Hope this helps...

Answer 4

that means it is charging..same thing with a cell phone. Sometimes it will turn off because it charges faster when it is off...

~hope that helps ♥♥
