My jazz dv-179 won't turn on. no red light when plugged into the ac outlet

I believe that the camera will not charge directly from the computer - testing this theory myself... however I went to Radio Shack tonight and they have them there for 30 bucks (a bit outragious if you as me)

I did an extensive on line search to no avail found several cameras and chargers for other Jazz cameras...so my suggestion is a universal charger which you can get at Wal-mart or target.....also there are lithium battery chargers that can be purchased just like the ones in the camera...and at the same stores.



Hope this helps....good luck and thanks for rating my effort....the Fang.

YOU PEOPLE IT IS JUST THE BATTERY THAT IS IN IT!.. BECAUSE THAT BATTERY IS NOT ONLY FOR AFTER IT IS CHARGED IT ALSO WORKS TO SHOW THE DISPLAY SCREEN! BECAUSE IF YOU TAKE OUT THE BATTERY THE LIGHT STAYS ON WHILE ITS PLUGGED INTO THE COMPUTER! MY BF IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM TRY BUYING A NEW BATTERY!! ITS THE SOLUTION! the battery is caput!

Local retailer suggested a universal charger for the 3.7 volt battery and take it out and charge it and put it back in. A bit cumbersome but it might work as long as the charger has 3 contacts in the right places
