The camcorder won't turn off. I even take battery out then replace it it is still on

battery contacts must check for possible corrosion, scrap it and clean.

I'm sorry that the Camcorder is not ejecting tape. Please follow the troubleshooting steps provided below and check the operation:

1. Please make sure that the battery is fully charged. 2. Perform Reset by following steps:

1. Locate the RESET button behind the LCD panel of the camcorder. 2. Use a pointed object (like a ballpoint pen) to press and hold the RESET button for 2-3 seconds. 3. After 2-3 seconds has elapsed, release the RESET button.

3. Perform a manual power reset by following the steps:

1. Turn off the camcorder. 2. Disconnect AC power adapter. 3. Remove the battery pack. 4. Move the POWER switch to the CAMERA position for 15 seconds. 5. Move the POWER switch to the OFF position. 6. Reconnect the AC power adapter or reinsert the battery pack. 7. Turn on the camcorder.

If the issue persists after following all the steps service will be required. You can find repair information and initiate service at:

Same Problem, same day, have you found any solution?, i stored the camera for abut 6 months following the Manual specifications, keeping the camera away from humidity, dust, even light and unmounted batteries, but it didn't turned on when i really needed it, I tried changing batteries, power source, i've already checked the lock/standby and the main dial, anyone help please!

I found some interesting information about your camera. It turns out that the camcorder will only charge its battery if it detects the physical presence of its rechargeable battery pack. Battery detection depends on two physical components. One is a switch located at the top of the battery compartment, The other is a little plastic tab included with the battery pack

Instructions for the fix are located at this link: Fixing Flip UltraHD that won charge its battery

It will need a working battery even when connected to any external power source. You will have to replace the battery

1. Turn off the camcorder.
2. Remove the battery or disconnect the AC power adapter for 60 seconds.
3. Insert the battery or reconnect the AC adapter.
4. Turn on the camcorder.
5. If the error message appears, service may be required.

If your camcorder still shows the same error code, then you'll have to send in your camcorder for service.

Shamelessly copy pasted from another forum.

If there is a firmware solution on Insignis-Products, you might be able to restore the camcorder to life that way.

However, if the unit won't turn on at all...even when a USB AC charger is used where it should function normally and completely...there is a problem with the camcorder and it may be bricked.

I hope this helps and I hope your camcorder isn't bricked.

Follow this procedure to troubleshoot if the camcorder turns off by itself.

1. Remove the battery from the camcorder.
2. Connect the AC power adapter to the camcorder.
3. Plug the AC power adapter into a working electrical outlet.
4. Attempt to turn on the camcorder.
5. Reset the camcorder back to factory settings.
NOTES:

• If the camcorder does not operate using the AC adapter, service may be required .

6. Ensure the battery has been fully charged.
7. Ensure the battery is properly inserted into the camcorder.
8. Remove the AC power adapter from the camcorder.
9. Attempt to turn on the camcorder.
NOTES:

• If the camcorder does not turn on, then the battery may need to be replaced.
• If the problem persists using a different battery, service may be required .

I have had mine for 1 year, two months. Earlier, it booted up, and I scrolled by date to locate some older footage. Then the cam just froze up. It wouldn't power down, so I removed the battery. Replaced batterie, and booted it up, located my older footage, and it did the same thing again. Now, when I power it on, the light blinks, the "access HDD" light stays on, but it won't power up, and my computer does not see it. It is also not making that "camera on" sound that it did before. I love this camera and have never had a problem w/ it. This just happened all of a sudden. Any ideas, anyone? I even pushed the "reset" button, but even though it lights up, it won't boot up.
