No Power I have installed 2 charged batteries and the GL2 will not turn on -no power at all. I have the same problem. Has anyone fixed this yet?

same man, did you fix it? THANKS IN ADVANCE

Same thing happened to me. No display, no menu, no S-video output while in camera mode, but in VCR mode all was OK. Turning power off and on did not help until I also disconnected the AC power adapter. BTW, Mr. Riggins did not read the question before he answered.

This is usually caused by a failed component in the power circuit within the camera and can usually be repaired fairly inexpensively. However, it's not a user serviceable problem and will need to be repaired qualified service technician.

My name is Rick and I'm a professional repair technician with over 20 years in the business and have repaired many of these. I'm semi retired and work from home with little overhead so I can keep repair costs low. If you decide to have the camera repaired, please click HERE for a directory listing that suits your needs.

You will need a charger like the one listed below. Just remove the battery and place it on the charger.

CA-920 Compact Power Adapter
This is the standard charger and power source for the GL2. It will charge one battery at a time.

try draining power first from system, take battery and adapter out then push and hold power button for 1 min. after try powering your computer with adapter only, then try with battery, if same thing, means you have bad battery.

I had a similr problem It turned out that the power supply cord was not the problem, it was the main battery. Luckily, in 2000, I bought 2 extra main batteries. I took out the old battery and put in one the 2 new unused ones and my machine is working and charging perfectly now.

i was filming, and i tripped and my gl2 hit the ground. it hit the battery kind of hard and now it wont work properly. now when i turn it on, the power light blinks red or green, depending on playback and recording mode. i want to know how i can fix this.

Hi david;
There are a few floating around some of the forums but getting one is not going to be easy. I can see if I can find you one. Ill post here if I do.

Turn off the power saver mode. I did it and it works!

The most frequent cause of this type situation is not having a power source attached, or a depleted battery pack. Once the power source is available, some models require manually unlatching and opening the cassette compartment cover. When the cover is fully open, the videocassette will eject automatically. Please try the following procedures. 1. Attach the power source to the camcorder correctly or use a fully-charged battery pack. 2. Fully-open the cassette compartment cover until it stops while sliding and holding the OPEN/EJECT switch. The videocassette will eject automatically after a few seconds.
