When I power up my camcorder it will go on then shut down then start up then shut down for about 15 mins until it stays on.

I had the video recorder checked by one of the reccommended tech shops but they were totally stumped. One thought was the switch was faulty but it should not keeep starting and shutting down. another thought was a capacitor hat needs to fill up with juice to function but the tech could not find a capacitor unless it is part of the board. After the 15 mins the camera will perform normally and I can even turn it off of a bit until whatever loses its charge then we have to go over the whole thing again. Any thoughts?? Robert McLeod
