No operation by battery, only by cord.

We purchased our JVC GR32U two years ago to keep a video record of our newborn son. Pretty much exactly the time the warranty ran out the camera stopped working on battery power. Periodically it will work by battery but 98% time it will not. Its very limiting trying to use a camcorder on 3 feet of power cord. I figured at first the batteries were faulty or not charged properly as the camera when plugged in will also not charge the batteries. I purchased an expensive standalone charger which made no difference, I can see now that the batteries are fully charged. I paid a tech to repair the camera but they could not duplicate the problem (go figure, never works until you need to fix it). They informed me some cameras have this tendency to have some loose connections and re-soldered some. The camera worked for a short while after that but at this point again only works on corded power. Any help would be much appreciated, were wasting a lot of time we could be filming out toddler.
