Why wont your polaroid high definition digital camcorder dvf-720 turn on?

Answer 1

Hi I recently received one of these cameras as a freebee with Tesco insurance. It would only work if plugged into the mains regardless of battery showing full on lcd. I have fixed the problem... Look at the three gold battery terminals on the battery. On mine, there was a small amount of black outer plastic along one edge of these terminals, which looked normal as they were all even. I gently eased them off and snipped with scissors, so exposing the full rectangle of gold contacts.. Once back in camera it worked fine and the red charging light on the camera now glows properly. The problem I believe to be Polaroid using very cheap quality batteries, not a fault of the actual camera.
