    Canon VIXIA HG20: PLEASE HELP

    I couldn't find my charger for my Canon camcorder so I looked around my house for one that might worked (I know I am retarded). I found one, plugged it into the camcorder and a not to good sounding sound was made. 30 minutes later I find the real charger (FML) and when I plugged it in nothing happer. It didn't say it was charging and it would come on. So I know for I fact that I killed it. My question is did I break the whole thing, or do I just need to replace the battery. BTW would that have killed the built in lithium battery that does date and time??

     

     

    PLEASE Help. Thank You.

    It fried the power charging unit inside your camcorder most likely.  I think you will need more than a new battery.  Heck, the battery is likely just fine.

    Freedom's the Answer.
    What's the Question?

    when did you buy this camcorder? maybe you need go to a certified repair shop to get it fixed or contact Canon.
