      If the access/charge lamp on your JVC Camcorder doesn't light during charging, it could be due to extremely high or low temperatures. Charge it in a place with a temperature between 10°C to 35°C (50°F to 95°F). Also, the lamp will not light if the battery is already fully charged, so check the remaining battery power.
