does anyone know anything about dv camcorders?
i've had one for awhile. a nice one.
a few years ago i took it with me to niagra falls (maybe this was the problem?)
and i left it at my boyfriend's parents house for several months.
While he was gone he wanted me to send him some *ahem* pictures.(it does video and still photos)
so when i got the camera back it was acting funky.
the image would go all crazy like it was warped.
until it eventually went black.
i can still play the cassette in it...but only if it's plugged in. it won't turn on or anything without being plugged it. (maybe something is wrong with the battery too? there is a flashing red button that i'm pretty sure means that the battery isnt in...when it still is)
i don't have the money to send it off (estimate on website is almost $200...but could end up being more)...its been a few years since it fucked up.
it's such a shame to have such a nice thing (a nice thing that my boyfriend spent $700 on for me) stay fucked up. i really hate this because it was such an nice gift and i know he's not happy it's not working.
anyway..i haven't updated here in a while.
i'm going to the beach in a few weeks.
i'm crazy scared about walking around in a bikini
i'm going to a wedding with my boyfriend this weekend.
a wedding with an open bar. oh my. this is gonna be so much fun. drunk dancing =)
school has been going better than expected still sucks though.
i was supposed to read a book...i haven't.
i guess i should sleep

You can also take the battery out. Look at the model number. Search for it on the web. And even get it very *cheap* on ebay. As a plan B.
Have fun at the wedding!!!
BTW: Did you leave the battery in the camcorder? That could be the reason. Especially the age of your camera shows that the battery is very breakable on low power. A long time storage procedure would be: load to 70% and store *outside* the camera. Rinse and repeat every 6 month. Now it's too geeky I know
However the battery is broken in any case
