Hi, I have a jvc gy dv500u camera. Unfortunately, I am unable to turn it on. The camera was idle for sometime. The lithium battery was dead, but just replaced. I had read in the manual that the camera may not restart after the lithium battery dies. Also, the original battery pack was removed and replaced by a anton bauer. However, the anton bauer mount was transferred to another camera so the camera sat shelved without a battery housing nor any battery life. I had tried to power the camera with the power adapter to no avail. I tried re-attaching the original battery housing (without the battery), then plugged the power cable also to no avail. The batteries were placed on a charger but wouldn't hold a charge. So the batteries were never seated on the camera due to fear of low voltage. The camera will not turn on. Does the battery need to be seated for the power adapter to turn the camera on? Does the power adapter need to see the battery for the power to turn on? Any suggestions you can provide will be soo incredibly appreciated. Sincerely, Roy Kwalk
