Sony Handycam CCD-TRV65 will not power up
My Sony Handycam CCD-TRV65 (Hi8) camcorder will not power up with the
battery pack or with the power adapter. I swapped out the battery pack and the adapter but it did not help. The camera worked fine the last time I used it and it has been sitting in a cabinet for about six months. It hasn't left the house in several years so I don't think it's a problem with any foreign matter getting inside. The battery contacts and DC IN contacts are clean. Any ideas would be helpful. I'm an electrical engineer and I have a scope but I'm not sure where to start. I don't want to crack open the case unless I know what to expect. thanks, Norm |

Norm, unless it is a simple fuse problem (fuses are on rear PWA under battery) I think you will need a service manual. S/M are ~$50. Available from Andrews Elect. 800-289-0300 or from Sony. CR Just a thought, but a simple adjustable DC supply hooked up to the battery contacts (on the camera) should make it power up . Set the voltage to whatever it says on the battery (7.2V, etc) . Make sure to get it round the right way !!!!! include disclaimer.h include YMMV.h "Norm" wrote in message om...
