Why won't my Sony camera charge?

I lost my wall charger about a month ago. My camera has been sitting in my room, dead, for that long, also. I needed to charge my camera for an important event, so I tried to use my USB cord. I plugged it into my computer, nothing. I tried a couple other USB ports to see if the first one wasnt working, but nothing has happened.. HELP!

Not all cameras charge from the USB cord. Also there are some USB cords for data, some for charging.

SOURCE: my sony cybershot camera DSC-T70 won't work

hey guys,

would like to give a suggestion...

have you ever tried using another battery? you should always have a spare battery. most probable cause for this is the battery and we will only know if the cause is the battery when you try another battery.

SOURCE: Can't import pictures from my sony cybershot dcsw70 camera

Try replacing the data cable.
Try replacing the Pro Duo Memory stick, or use a card reader to test the memory card.
Test the camera on a different USB port, and then on a different computer.

This can tell you if the problem is the computer or the camera.

If the problem is the camera , then the USB data port may be defective.

If the problem is computer, try doing a system restore to a date before problem started.
If that does not help you may need to reinstall the system.

Nikon s6300 won't turn on

Coolpix Cameras are tricky to use with chargers. I will assume your USB Charger EH-69P is 100 - 240V 50/60 Hz so it CAN work in many places around the world with an adapter. Do not go over 240V or you could damage it.

These cameras like to have the power supply connected when it is on to charge - meaning if you have it connected and you plug the charger in the wall it will NOT charge. So if you plug the charger in the wall first and then plug the cable in the camera it will work. The camera is actually ON when it charges and I never REMOVE the memory card when it is ON.

When you have a dead battery. Plug the camera in and make sure the ON LED lights and the Charge LED flashes. Then don't mess with it. Let it charge completely (Charge LED stops flashing and is OFF) and then unplug it. It will turn off. Then later you can turn it on.

Battery charger on quantum electric wheelchair starts out ember color then starts flashing red I check wires everything is plugged check it about 3 months ago everything was ok now th chair won't

Did you charge it at all during the 3 months? Did you store chair on a full charge? Check to see if batteries are dead. Batteries should be disconnected and/or stored on a full charge. If left connected they should be fully charge every week.

Z1015 won't charge battery internally. this battery was working

Hello, Is the battery in the camera or in the charger ?? Don't quite understand the question. You wrote "received correct wall charger AC/DC ?" was that a question concerning the new charger ? it sounds like your not quite sure about the charger.

I need a different way to charge my sony cybershot DSC-H3 digital camera

The DSC-H3 does not contain any charging circuitry. You could hook it up to a nuclear reactor and it won't charge the battery. You need to use a separate charger, such as this one.

W20i charged phone, took phone off charger, phone went dead and won't turn on. phone is six months old and had no problems

Hello,

As you have got this problem and cell is only 6 months old. Pls get it replaced under warranty.
Do carry the invoice with date to the service center.
Alternatively also check the charger, as sometime the cell shows charging due to inserting the pin and a low current passes through but still charger is faulty. Try using some other charger and then go ahead.

Regads,

Richee
Take some time to rate me if it works well.

I lost my manual to my duracell instant jumpstart . Just wanna know to properly recharge my unit.

I'm having the same problem where it won't take a charged. If you left it with a dead battery for say 6 months, it probably ruined the battery. You should have a charger for house current and car voltage charger. I guess your dead in the battery like me. I'm taking it to Battery Plus to check it out. It only had a 1 year limited warranty. Good Luck.
