Bricked Samsung SC-DC173U

tranebwc · 05-29-2009, 09:20 PM

Hello

I have a samsung camcorder that i've been using for a year without problem but yesterday i started recording, and all of the sudden the camera turns off.
I tried to turn it back on but it only flashes the recording led, the lcd is off, the dvd drive is off, i charged the battery for 3 full days and still the same response, i bought another battery and still no luck,

What can i do ti fix this?

Any help will be much appreciated!

Regards
