Check the position of the batteries. Some camera require the batteries to put in (+)(+) positive-positive position if we see from above. Some other require the batteries to put in (+)(-) or (-)(+) or (-)(-).
Make sure you have put in the batteries in the right place.
Sometimes, unchargeable batteries will stay longer than chargeable batteries, You can try to insert that kind of batteries.
If useful, RATE please.

Think you may have bent a card pin. Remove the card and the camera's batteries. Look in the card slot for any bent pins. If you see one, don't fret, it may be fixable. Use a small/skinny jeweler's flat screwdriver to bend the pin back as close as possible (one from the dollar store is fine for this). Take your time and use as much patience as you can muster. Take a breather in between if needed.
It doesn't have to be perfect, just as close as you can get it. When it's there, take your flash card and "SLOWLY" insert it. The card itself should fine-align the pin. Remove the card, and verify that the pin is still straightened. If so, reinsert the card and try it out.
If there are no bent pins in the slot, then the next obvious thing to try is a different CF card.

Most of these type of problems are either power related, or due to a "stuck" lens. First thing to check is whether the battery is actually charged (measure it with a voltmeter). Also, make sure the battery contacts both on the batteries and inside the camera are clean (you can use a qtip and at least 90% isopropyl alcohol.
Here's a couple of sites that list things you can try to get it working:

and

Try their suggestions- they say about 50% of the cameras can be fixed trying their suggestions.
If the camera still won't turn on, it will have to be taken apart and troubleshot. Get an estimate before you have it repaired, since it can be costly, and justify going ahead and buying a new one.
Good luck, and hope this helps.

The solution to your problem is simple, Kathrynbax.
The battery never comes in fully charged. It's always charged only so you may be able to check if your camera is working. I suggest, you take out your battery and put it to charge for exactly 90 minutes as the manual says. Then I'm sure you won't face any such problems.
Hope this solves your problem.
Good day!
