Hi.
I have a JVC GR-D90U, about 2 years old. It absolutely stopped working. I.e.
it will not power up either with/without the AC adapter. The battery was at about 8 volts, and the AC adapter was putting out about 10 (I just have an old analog VOM). I did some minor disassembly and can see that voltage is going into the ac jack, there is no visible damage, and it looks like the ribbon cable from the power/mode switch is connected O.K.
Suggestions? I bought the camera about 2 years ago and it has seen very light use. I don't want to spend $300 to fix a $350 camera that I can buy used for much less then the repair cost. I charged it the week before it stopped working and everything appeared normal (blinking red charge light)
Thanks for answering my questions. If it is just a matter of trying a new AC adapter or battery - that's worth a shot - my nearest service center is 40 miles away, so I don't want to go on a wild goose chase.
