Question

Camcorder doesn't power up

Oct 30, 2014 9:00PM PDT

I've got this camera Sharp VL-C7950S which uses VHS-C tapes. The problem is that it doesn't power up. Here is a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKjs98SJhTc&list=UUqLFqIiX38aAFzsEBed0ScQ The viewfinder lights up and then goes black, also there is a weird noise and this symbol with a key... I know that it is ******** and quality is very low, but i really want to get this camera working. Please, help me! Happy Any help will be appreciated!
