I apologize for this duplicate post but the first one never got through the server and furthermore I put down the wrong model number - eye sight is not as good as it use to be. Gentlemen, I need your help. This camcorder when powered on (with a newly charged battery) shows "batter too low" message on the LCD before shutting down. I've tried other batteries and the bench power supply with the same results. If I try and eject the tape (which is still inside), I here the gears start to turn, I see the bench supply climb to 1.5A then back down to zero, then it tries to do this all over again. I'm not sure what's going on here and would appreciate any help. The customer tells me the camcorder is about 8 - 9 years old and this "battery low" problem started about a year ago, he thought it was the battery and replaced it and the charger. I can't find anything online with respect to this problem. Thank-you, David Lessard Alexandria Electronics 50 Harrison Street P.O. Box 1366 Alexandria, Ontario.
