MVX 20i (Mini DV video camera)...won't turn on!!

Hi, I've had a Canon MVX 20i for about 4/5 years now, it's a great camera, I've used it often, on my travels and to make little films etc. For the past 6 months it's been in my backpack as I've travelled but I've had no problems, it's been working fine. Now all of a sudden, it simply won't turn on in any mode and the battery won't even charge, nothing happens when I plug it in!

I've tried different batteries but still no luck?

Can anyone shed some light? It would be much appreciated.

Thanks,


Alex
