  • Canon XHA1 wont turn on at all

    Posted by Tim Gannon on August 8, 2011 at 1:20 pm

    Hi,

    Wondering if the camera XHA1 needs professional fixing?
    It won’t turn on to at all. All I get a slight blue flash on the HDV sign on the toggle ring when i try to power up.not even playback will work.I’ve checked both the stand by buttons, I’ve checked the batteries and any power supply. It seem pretty bad.

    Any suggestions?

    Tim

    Dead power-supply unit. Common problem.

    connect it to your camera to see if there’s any signal

    Hi Tim,

    I realise this thread is over a year old but I’m experiencing exactly the same problem.

    Can I ask if – and how – you got it fixed?

    I’m going to take it to the Canon shop next week but before I do I’d just like to check there’s nothing simple I’m missing here!

    Cheers

    Hi Sean! I wonder if you could solve the problem of your XH-A1. I’m having the same problem and I need help.

    In the end I took it to the Canon shop and they repaired it. It was the CCD which they replaced. It cost about 800 US (600 EUR) but I figured it was worth it (just).

    Works fine now.
