I recently bought a used sony h20, which the seller told me supposedly still works but has a broken battery. I bought a new one but the problem remains: the green light on the power button and the light beside the lens flash once when i press the power or playback button, but then nothing else happens. I tried connecting the camera directly to an AC adapter as well as my computer, but still no luck. What could be the issue here?
@ejeeeee that is going to be a tough one. I suggest that you check the power circuitry. Of course this includes the battery contacts as well. This Sony Cyber ShotDSCH20 should help you with that task. See if you find something that either looks odd or fails your test.
