My kodak 763 quit working and I thought it was the battery, even though the camera was only 6 months old. I replaced and recharged the battery but the camera still does not work. I comes on for less than a second and then shuts down completely.

Remove the batteries and then after 2 mins hold down the power button on on position for 45 seconds without inserting the batteries, that will release the static power and then try putting the batteries and do the normal operation. but dont forget to take the memory card out of the camera while resetting the camera. And one more thing dont put the memory card back after you put the batteries and check the opetation without the memory card.
