Here are some suggestions to try and see where the problem may be:
1. Have you tried to charge the battery? We would suggest trying different USB sources (e.g. a USB port on a computer as well as the Nikon supplied AC adapter)
2. Could the battery be dead? If you have tried to charge the battery in the camera via USB then there is a chance the battery is dead and needs replacing. If the camera had not been used for a long time and the battery was stored with little or no charge, the battery may now be un-chargeable.
3. If the camera has been left unused for a long time the internal battery that keeps the time/date may have discharged. You need to be able to set the time/date before the battery can be charged. If you plug the camera into a USB power source and you can see the menu on the LCD then set the date/time.
We hope these suggestions help to get the camera back up and running
It seems to me the most obvious thing to look at would be the power switch. I don't think impact would damage the battery unless it cracked or punctured it - and I assume it hasn't since you haven't mentioned that.
Have you checked the switch itself for any damage, and made sure it's making contact when it's switched, and traced the leads from the switch back to the board - or even all the way to the battery? I think you'll find your problem somewhere in there.
The smaller battery should be for storing long term memory - i.e. any configurable settings. Even if that was dead, the camera would still turn on, it just wouldn't remember any settings.
First, check that the camera switch is in the off (charging) position.
If this is OK, Check the battery output connections for voltage: use a multimeter.
To check the charger, put a load resistor across the output terminals (about 1000 ti 2000 ohms) and again, using a multimeter, check there is a charging voltage. Alternatively, if the camera operates OK with the charger attached and switched on the charger is OK, AND, the problem is then in the charging circuit from camera to battery. If the battery checks OK as in the beginning, then you will need a Sony repair man who needs to know all the results from your testing above.
There are two ways you can charge the battery in the ViviCam 8025. One way is to use the supplied USB cord to connect the camera to a powered USB port in a computer or a USB power device that plugs into a wall outlet or a car cigarette lighter. The other way is to remove the battery from the camera and put it into the supplied battery charger, and plug the charger into a wall outlet.

go to a store that has the machine where you can order a CD of your pictures rather than getting prints. Walgreens, Walmart, etc...
Its a good idea to buy a card reader for your type of card so you dont have to use up battery power while uploading photos to your computer. It saves a lot in batteries.
As for your battery, if you have rechargeables, you should always keep spares and only recharge when battery completely dies, dont charge just because you used it, only when it dies....this will prolong the life of your battery/batteries.
Replace Alkaline battery or with nicle metal hidride rechargeable battery. If still power not turn on than replace its main board from any sony service network
Dont worry this is a simple problem but very rare. Just take it to the service centre with the warranty and they will repair it for u. Just be calm and cassual, dont show ur self that u handle the camera roughly. I am sure this will definitely solve ur problem. Please rate me.
You need to have a battery pack inserted in the camera even if you are using computer USB power for webcam use. If your battery is dead, then you are out of luck. Browse battery problem section for my solution to dead battery of this camera.
Kari Heres what it said in the instruction Manual.. (If you dont have a manual theres one here for free for you to veiw or print . You can acsess it by clicking on your cameras model number at the top of your iquiry and scroll down and take a look) It says that theres an auto off on this camera and if you dont touch any buttons for two minutes it shuts off all by itself. Also you cant or shouldnt use magnesium batteries.. Good Luck.
