Hello,
I have a Samsung VP-D30 camcorder with a battery charger that connects directly to the camcorder via an external rectangular metal connector and a central circular hole.
My grandson, while playing, ripped off the charger cable soldered to the connector; the repair is simple, but I don't know the polarity + and - of the connector.
Could someone provide me with information? The procedure is straightforward for an electrician or electronics technician; you need to have a DC multimeter, insert a pin or a piece of telephone wire in the central hole, and measure the voltage (7.2 V) between this wire and the rectangular metal connector.
An expert can easily determine where the + and - are; generally, the accessible part, the metal connector, is the -, unless proven otherwise.
Thank you in advance for your response, have a good day.

If I understood correctly, you want to know if the central pin of your plug that goes to the camcorder is positive or negative, right?
If so, it definitely has the + polarity. I have two camcorders and an external hard drive that have the same type of plugs; I'll check all three and let you know. Bye.

If you could test the polarity of the + wire, it goes to the center for sure. My three plugs that I checked have the + polarity in the center, I think it's standard. @+.
Hello,
thank you Gule for your response; indeed the + goes to the central connection (circular connector) and the - is on the rectangular connector.
Thanks to these indications, I managed to cobble together a connector because when I tried to solder the wires onto the original connector, the plastic melted and the connector became unusable. The plastic part was glued, so it couldn't be disassembled.
With a PC-type computer connection (connector on the motherboard), I was able to solve the problem with the central connector; for the rectangular connector, I slightly heated the plastic until it melted and I salvaged it.
I was able to piece together, it's really a makeshift solution, a connector that works.
Thank you all for your help. Best regards. Kangas

How to dry a camcorder that has taken on moisture and is no longer functioning. Thank you very much for helping me.
Hi Williams, even if you dry it out, everything that is electric (connections, plugs, even electric motors) will oxidize, and you risk having endless problems. If you have good insurance, try to make it work, get informed. @+.
thank you for the response, I am well equipped to test everything, solder, etc...
My problem is simple, I have a coaxial cable, let's say 2 wires for simplicity, one + (positive) and one - (negative), between the two there is a continuous voltage of 7.2 V coming from the charger, does the central wire go to the central connection or ... vice versa.
Once I know this, I will have 2 soldering joints to make and my problem will be solved.
If I'm wrong, the camcorder is good for the dump.
I'm looking for someone who has a Samsung AA-E7 charger (AC power adapter) and a measuring device for direct current that can determine whether the rectangular metal part is the + 7.2 V or the - 7.2 V.
For your information, I have a Panasonic charger where the information (that I am looking for on the Samsung charger) is engraved on the casing. Different manufacturers, different methods; Panasonic is more professional.
Thank you again, best regards.
