How can I get my old camcorder repaired?

I cannot seem to locate a local place that does any type of outdated electronics repair. I have an old, old sharp video camera that uses the miniDV tapes to record on. I love it. It's been a great camera for my needs for years. It is about 12ish years old. Now it had some kind of total power failure and is completely dead. The tape in it won't even come out. I would love to see about getting it repaired. I did end up buying a new modern video camera, but I'm only semi-happy with it. I was much happier with the old one.

anyone have any recommendations?

thanks in advance.

Update:

oh it is a newer battery, which has a full charge and works fine.
