Canon Camcorder FS100 unable to work unless plugged into charger unit.

[jen13578]

My Canon FS100 Camcorder is unable to turn on unless it’s charging, and the charging light flashes red no matter how long it is plugged in for. 
I purchased a replacement Canon battery on KEH— but the issue still persists.

How do I solve this? I know this is an older camera, but any help would be appreciated

Sounds like a bad charging circuit. I doubt there is an easy fix.
