Does the battery make good contact with the pins in the camera? Try putting a bit of pressure on it or move it etc to see if the unit comes to life, if it does even momentarily you have a loose connection at one of the pins. Since you have a second identical camera check the continuity reading between all the pins on the good camera and then the bad and compare the two should be exactly the same. If not there's an internal problem wit the unit.

YES. It is possible to get those deleted files back provided not overwritten.
First things first: DO NOT take any more videos or pictures with the camcorder(memory card) that you want to recover files from in case you may quite possibly ruin the chances.

Then take the memory card or hard drive out of your cam, and connect it to your computer as it should appear as a "Removable Drive" or put the card in a card reader attached to your PC.

Then install this software Wondershare Photo Recovery (recover videos and audio files too) on your computer. Then start to scan and see if your deleted files can be got back. Get the program from:

For Windows Version
For Mac version

Remember - Do NOT try & write anything back to your camcoder(card or disk) until you can recover your files safely! I hope you good luck! Regards

I solved my problem by changing the setting from PAL to NTSC in the Everio media browser (the unit was purchased in the US but the software was set to PAL).

You will need either the camera power supply or a charged battery, if don't have a power supply for camera or a charged battery there is no way around it.

I would connect to the computer and run a couple of anti virus programs through it. reformat it and run chkdsk to repair any faults refit to camera and reformat again in the camera.

This camera auto records in FULL HD. Make sure your video quality is set higher up (UXP, XP) not to compromise video detail
