JVC Digital Media Camera with 4GB Microdrive (Refurbished)

I bought this, and had to return it the day I received it, because it would lock up, and the button functions would not work. The camcorder was very hot to the touch, as if there must be a overheating or short problem. Also, the one I received looked like it must have been a floor model, because it looked very used: worn out on the bottom and had some sort of adhesive on it that was dirty. I charged the battery, inserted it, was able to get as far as program the date in it, and then it just locked up and would not respond to any of the buttons. I could not even switch it from camcorder to still camera mode. I immediately went online to ask for a return. I think the refurbished part should have been an indicator to me that something was defective with this camcorder. I wished it had been better, because it is a nice sized camcorder.
