Does it come with a warranty and/or is there a way to replace the battery? The one I bought powered off and won't come back on.

Did it power off? Do you use SD cards on your video camera ?. If you don't have SD cards the camera will power off. I only replace SD cards, and since I have this fabulous camera I have bought SD cards only once. I only recharge the battery, never had to change it.

Yes, it comes with guaranty. I use this camera every week, two years in a row. This is an AMAZING camera, the videos are crispy, the photos are awesome. Basic camera to have videos of anything. I use it totake videos in natural environments. I use a Trascendent SD card 32, I can make thousands of videos, literally

I haven't had any issues with no power. I know in the booklet it said to use SD card or it will power down. It says SDHC Class 4 or higher; max support 32 GB.

The same thing happened to me. I bought 2 of them and 1 don't turn on . I also replaced the batteries and it still doesn't work. I don't know how to replace it eather because the packaging has been taken out to the trash.

I just got mine. It has a power button and a remote control. You can turn off the power from both. I suppose there is still some power draw, so you might want to consider unplugging it.

Warranty is supposedly for one year. You should bring it to a nearby authorized repair center. Good luck.

I can confirm that no, it would not come back on after a loss of power. You would need to manually hit the "power" button to make it turn back on.

The machine comes with a limited warranty by the manufacturer. Since the machine is powered with only your power vs a mechanical part, I would not bother with an extended warranty.

I have owned two of these units and I could never figure out how to replace the battery. It may be possible, if you are more technical than me. I found that the power cords go out, but you can buy very inexpensive new ones on Amazon.

I don't know. I've had one approximately eight years and have not replaced the battery. It only runs on battery when the power is out

I would guess a bad battery...I've had one for 8 yrs and have yet to replace the battery. I use it as a timer and hit clear to turn it off...which is why I invested it another one....i don't like to,share so I got my husband his own.

I read from another person that there was a 30 day warranty. I wasn't told about the problem until almost a year after purchasing. I just ordered a pair of new batteries to see if this will fix the problem. No expectations, though.

I've had mine for almost a year and haven't had any problems with it. It hasnt been unplugged since it was set up

I had my first one for nine months before it died. The thing is, I never turned it off and now I'm doing that with my new one. I know it goes into 'sleep' mode after awhile but I believe it's still better to turn it off if you're not using it for a couple of days. Also, they come with a year guarantee so this time I'm going to try and not lose my receipt.

Mine had an electric issue within a month of receipt. I called Powermatic and they troubleshot by asking questions, determined it was the on/off switch and sent one right out. While I was doubtful, I replaced the switch as instructed to do and it has run beautifully for almost a year now. This is really a heavy machine, I recommend it highly.

I'm not sure what the warranty is but I am very happy with the new battery. It is extremely light and I have never run out of battery power. It is expensive but I'm very happy with it.

I don't about warranty. Mine are over a year old and I have not even replaced the batteries.

Get a different model that only uses batteries. There an argument that a battery one is preferable since you will need to periodically check it, and one off of the house power you tend to ignore, and then it fails when house power is off, even though it ha a battery back-up which is died earlier. Regrettably that has happened to me.

I dont turn mine off. Since ive had it its only been powered down once because the power went out and I did not loose found channels or have to reprogram. I would conntact manufacturer or google the make model and issue.
