Cam wont charge - Xacti Sanyo Cameras

Check cables wires
Maybe batt is totally dead and wont take a charge

My car won't charge my battery ? Check the alternator (charging system) . You put new cam & crank sensor an timing belt on for a charging system problem ? Or after you did this stuff ,now the charging system isn't charging the battery ?

hi, sounds like internal battery is bad or going bad- test and replace if its bad

check immobilizer for correct operation. check fob key battery for charge. run fault codes and check for cam/ crank position sensor fault. Check that the cam shaft is actually turning ( broken timing belt)

if worked fine before cam tensioner fitted, i wonder if cam chain slipped a tooth or more on a cam

make sure the batt is charging and working fine.check also the batt contacts.make sure its clean.insert batt to your camera.instead of pressing the power button, press the play button instead to power camera on. if unit turns on,might actually be an issue w/the camera unable to power on in camera mode.if it turns on initialize cam (p.75 of the manual).see if it works.if still wont turn on try using a diff batt (or if you have an optional ac adapter model#acls5k use it, attempt to power on cam to isolate issue w/power source).if batt or ac adaptor not available try to check batt with another cam if possible to test batt. if still unit doesnt turn on using a fully charged, diff batt, or using an ac adaptor,unit would reuire service. hope this info helps.thanks:)

The most neglected part in this system is the battery. Have your battery tested for retaining the charge, some of the cells can fail and your battery will not retain the charge, even after a long drive.

Try starting it with a booster battery, if your problem disappears, you just need a new one.

Hope this helps.

check you battery, then charger terminal,..

i just bought the cam can you tell me how long it takes to charge the battery . i have had it on charge overnight and i stiil have a red light the cam works when it is pluggedn in but as soon as i unplug it nothing works. the reading on the camera is saying that the battery is full

It is time to replace the battery. What is the model number of your camcorder.
