Hp t250 camcorder turns on but the screen immediately goes black after about a second. I've tried it without the battery and sd card installed and it does the same thing. Any help would be appreciated

No, like mine the battery is bad.
the camera does not run on AC pack alone or missing battery or ,dead or bad or shorted battery, or weak.
the battery must be good. or Cam is dead.
the battery takes 4 hours to charge (per RTM manual)
if your 8 year old camera has 8 year old battery it will be no good now, this old, just like all portable devices with batteries that old,.

the camera's are battery only device.
they do not make that clear in the manual
on my cam I proved this by
reading the spec on camera for power drain
and learned in 5min work that the power pack does not have enough power to run the camera and charge the battery at the same time.
it is just charge only pack and 4 hours to do that did you wait 4 hours? (page 19 in the manual)
when a battery is bad the charge LED can lie,
most do, I never pay them any mind,
i charge for 4 hours, if camera dead so be the bat. (AC pack not dead sure, and most are good)
