My Sanyo Digital Movie Camera won't even turn on, I haven't used it for a while. However, I thought maybe the battery was dead so I put it in the dock to charge. The light on the dock didn't turn red, so I tried several sockets to plug it in and the light never turned on. What do I do?

Did you try leaving the camera connected to the usb port and restarting your computer? At startup windows should detect it. Do you have the software that came with the camera installed? Or maybe search for updated software from the camera manufacturers website.
Things to check first for a camera that won't turn on are battery contact points, and micro switches that are located on the battery and memory card doors. Troubleshooting tips on other things that need to be checked may be seen here. These tips won't work for every case, but they're worth a try.
If the lever won't advance even when there is no film in the camera, then I would say there is a problem. (p.s. You haven't told us the make and model)
Sorry to hear that you have problem with the camcorder. It does have few situations with not charging battery based on our repair experience. I would suggest to make sure the battery is fully charged and see how it goes. If there's any battery problem, you should send it to Sanyo for manufacture before the warranty expires. Makes sure send every thing back to Sanyo. Battery problem cannot be solved simply other than bad battery contact situation. -James
due to very low temprature some malfunction may have occured. keep it in normal temprature for few hours and then try switching it ON. even if this not solves take it to some service centre.
This sounds like the same problem my daughter has with her camera (same model). Have sent it away to be repaired and have been told it needs a new MAIN PCB. The total cost is £232.65 !!! We are still looking around to see if we can get it done cheeper !
