Anyone ever had an issue where they fire up their VX1, the viewfinder briefly shows white with a few purple lines briefly before dying?
Mine has done it after a day of filming and it won't fire up now. I think something must be shorting inside of it, does it with every battery I tried and plugging it in via the mains supply.
EDIT: I also remember on the back door screen it shown the usual battery icon, but had a 'O' randomly displayed on it? I see if I can get a photo later, if it does let me fire it back up.
