I have an ongoing problem with this palmcorder. It will work for a couple of record/VCR session. I will try and turn it on and then it won't work properly. The power light will flash and none of the controls (play, rew, fwd, ect.) will work. I can see the live image on the LCD, but that’s about it. It's so weird because sometimes it will just sort of fix itself and magically work. But for the last 6 months or so it won't "fix it self" and just doesn't work.
