Canon XM2 Mini DV camera help

[Mandat]

I need some help with my Canon XM2. It used to work perfectly but I haven't used it for the past 6 months and now it seems to be unresponsive.

When I switch the power switch to "Camera" the LED turns red but nothing happens and when I switch it to "Play(VCR)" the LED turns green but again nothing else happens.

I can't even eject the tape when I open the cover.

The battery is fully charged and shows over 8v when tested with a multimeter.

I have taken out the backup battery and will be replacing it today, which I hope will solve the problem.

Is there anything else that could be causing this problem? Any help and advice would be much appreciated.

Tis a bit dead in here.
