It strongly suggests that one of the internal fuses associated with the charging circuit regulator has blown, as this will effectively disconnect the power unit from the battery. These are special miniature soldered in fuses that can only be accessed by removing the camcorders side casing, and although through experience it is likely that the fuse has just gone as "one of those things", any attempt to replace the offending item should only be tackled by a person acquaint at working on small precision pieces of electro-mechanical equipment. Note:- Details can only be sent to a DIRECT e-mail address, as jpeg's are involved.
