If you plug in the camcorder to the computer, it should show up in "my computer" or computer, which you can find from the desktop or the start menu. It should show up as "Removeable storage device" And inside you can find your videos etc.
take a look, or is it requesting a driver?
Also another way of getting the content to the computer would be to use a card reader. it will work as above and show up as a removeable storage device. Thats what I do with all my cameras etc.
Cheap card reader goes around 10$ or 20$ and reads all the cards out there Very easy to get any videos, pictures etc into the computer.
It does sound like the camcorder is faulty or the battery contacts are not clean, clean them with the eraser end on a pensil, if the old batteries have leaked on the contacts that might be causing it to turn on irregularlyIt does sound like the camcorder is faulty or the battery contacts are not clean, clean them with the eraser end on a pensil, if the old batteries have leaked on the contacts that might be causing it to turn on irregularly
