Test the battery using a multimeter.

Was there a warning before the camera died such as a flashing battery symbol.
Certain batteries just go without warning, others die over a period of time where they hold their charge less and less each time.
Can the camera be powered from the charger. Not all can but some Sonys do this.

i had warning signs before

i used to charge the batteries with the charger
the cassette is stuck in cam
