Author Topic: Camcorder won't turn on  (Read 540 times)

So I have this insignia camcorder that I got for christmas last year.
For some reason, when I try to turn it on, it will not turn on at all. I've pushed the power button (obviously), tried pushing some other buttons, but nothing worst.
However, when I charge it, a blue light blinks, meaning it is charging. Somehow I am able to use the camera while it is plugged in and charging. When I unplug it, it stops working and I cannot turn it on.

On an additional note, usually when I flip the screen up, the camera turns on.

Here's a pic of it.

Battery is shot most likely.
Try it with another battery.

Does anyone know the model name of this camcorder also?

Found it.

It's on the camera somewhere

Where can I find another battery for the camera?


I came across this advice for modifying a speaker, it may work similarly on a camcorder.
