Why won't my Sony Camcorder turn on?

Why wont my camcorder work?

  • it is a sony digital video camcorder DCR-TRV265E PAL. ive had it since 2004 and when i turn it on it HAS to have the charger in it and also it keeps saying 'reinsert cassette' and 'reattatch the power source' it wont let me play the tapes...HELP?!?!

  • Answer:

    Sounds like the rechargeable battery is dead and needs to be replaced. It is only turning on with the charger plugged in because the battery is 8 years old, has a limited life, and will no longer power the camera by itself (in other words, it's dead).
