Hello, We don't see too many of these, so I have to ask the more experienced folk here about these symptoms: 1) AC charger/supply appears OK 2) When initially plugged in, the yellow charge light comes on the camera. 3) If I attempt to power the camera up, a brief blip (not even a raster or any real brightness) shows on the viewscreen, then no light, no camera, no action. 4) the only way the charge light returns is if the ac power is removed and restored.
