Cam want start up any more, seems to be dead. [ New ]

[philipl88]

Cam want start up any more, seems to be dead. Pushing the remote button for 10 seconds, no reaction. Two fully loaded batteries tried. Used it on saturday for the first time making movies, no problem. Even downloaded them to my computer.  Next day want to take some pictures so see the quality. But was not able to do any more because it just want to start up. Pressing the remote button for 10 secs, nothing...as said, the cam seems to be dead.

This is odd, @philipl88. Try this, remove the battery from the camera and connect the camera directly to a power source and see if it turns on. If it does check and make sure that there is nothing lodged between the battery and the battery connector. 

Were your batteries charged separately using a dual battery charger? Did they show indication of being charged, or fully charged?

* remove the battery from the camera and connect the camera directly to a power source and see if it turns on => No it doesn't turns on.

* there is nothing lodged between the battery and the battery connector

* Did they show indication of being charged, or fully charged?  => yes, indication was fully charged.

After contacting the support team it was agreed to send my cam back and would receive a new one.  Until now great and quick service just let's hope the new cam will arrive shortly.

If allowed, track the pkg, the  that be the return time added a week processing, remember only the camera, you are not to send in your sd card, cables bat , etc..  Also keep in mind you will receive a brown box about 4WX10LX5H, and the lens, interface and back will have a protective film.  Check your camera out, and let us all know how it goes.

I only send the camera, nothing else.  I know that it will take a few days to get the replacement, no problem.  As soon as this has arrived I will let you know.

Did you write the RMA number on the outside of the box as per the instructions?

[danielr15]

And did you put the RMA paperwork inside the box with the camera?

[fishycomics]

I am sure

[fishycomics]

He did all that in advance

Why are you sure of this? I don't see it written on the box in the picture and he specifically stated only the camera was in the box.

[fishycomics]

I am sure hte OP did his or her work in advance per his c onversation.

[philipl88]

yes and it was also already printed on the label itself

[philipl88]

yes paperwork is in the box but please be aware that the cam was just send last Thurstday.  But I had a look at my picture again and it seems that the guy in the UPS drop point sticked the label over my written number.  I attached another picture showing that the RMA number is also on the label and if the label is removed you will notice that I have written in on the box itself.  But please keep also in mind that the cam was send back just last Thurstday so for the moment I'm not worry that something is not going as it should be.  As said before until now I'm very pleased with your service. 

[philipl88]

Just want to keep you updated and in the meantime the came arrived in Venray-NL, 21st Feb, as the track and trace shows.  Sorry it is  not in English, but in Dutch. So for the moment everything is still going well.
