After some satisfying use of my new camera it suddenly didn't turn on anymore. Now whenever I push the power button the screen stays black and the light on the back gives no hint of life either. I thought it might be a problem with the battery but when trying to recharge it it keeps telling me it's full. I'd like to keep using it and am soon trying to get it fixed at a shop. If anyone before that might have an answer to my problem it would save me quite a bit of money. Thanks in advance!
Check battery or connect to the mains and remember power buttons are fragile and unfortunately this is the button we use quiet often or failure take it in for check up

I have no problem playing the Xacti HD2 files. I guess this is because I have the codecs installed in my computer.
I recommend the Combined Community Codec Pack which I don't really understand but if you download and install it in your computer it allows you to play most video file types.

The HD2 mp4 files are pretty bog-standard MPEG-4 files, and very different from the newer Xacti HD1000/1010 files. The HD1000/1010 uses the new "h.264" super-duper compresion format (all the rage in many cameras now) that requires a lot of processor power to decode.
You often seem to need a fast dual/quad pentium to play the files, without the sound lagging for instance.
While the quality is considerably better, the old Xacti HD1/HD2 is often sufficient for things like Youtube or even Vimeo (strangely, unless you upload in HD to Youtube the quality is not good).
I hear that the (HD1000/1010's) h.264 format is the future, but until all your computers are very fast, and afaik most laptops currently on sale in 2009 do not have the power, it is a risky way to go.
I enjoy my Xacti HD2 and I hear that the Xacti HD1 is only a little worse, in lower light. For the next three years, till 2012, I think that they are great for Youtube vlogging in daylight situations. Added to that, the the Xacti HD1 and 2 (like the HD1000) have a microphone input which is a must for anywhere outside of your room.

You can buy a new LCD and flex cable for $78 at the place Sanyo recomended to me. It takes a week for them to order it and a week to ship out. Call 1-800-421-5080 and give them part # 6450930331.
Mine has the same problem. I took it apart and by pressing on the flex cable my picture was restored. As soon as I let go the screen would go. Trying to decide between replacing the part or the camera.
