Exclamation Bricked Samsung SC-DC173U, Help!

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

You charged the battery for 3 days... not a good idea, 12 to 15 hours overnight yes, but 3 days no. Did the camera get damaged after being dropped or did it fall in water, or get short circuited? Did dust or condensation get inside it? If the answer is no to all of those questions then you are looking at a repair and depending on whether you have a 1 year warranty or as said above a 3 year warranty you may have to pay for it.
