Hey i'm new to the forum, and somewhat new to the JVC, so hopefully you guys can stomach my newb position on both

My editor took home the camara to capture a tape (not normal practice) and when he brought it back, i can't get it to come on through battery power!

I'm using a nnovia hard drive and anton bower battery set up, even with everything removed, and the jvc battery pack in place, no power unless i use the ac wall adaptor.

is there a switch i'm over looking? or a power setting?

i just figured i'd try here before waiting for another 30 minutes on tech support, only to get directed to call another number

Will this thread might help you.

no it works fine on ac power, but not battery for some reason.
