I faced the same problem too. But I realised that after plugging in the adapter and connecting it to the camera, you would need to press the power button but not turn it on.

The rechargeable battery probably needs to be replaced, I would take it to a camera shop let him have a quick look to make sure the charge light is coming on and try a new battery.

Nikon camera battery keeps losing charge

If the rechargeable battery is more than 3 - 4 years old then the battery could be worn out. Rechargeable batteries have a finite number of charge and discharge cycles and will lose their charge capacity over time, i.e. won't charge to 100% and gradually the charge reduces until the battery won't charge up at all. OR The battery shows a 100% charge but when the adapter is disconnected the battery drops off to zero capacity in a very short time. If the battery drops to an unacceptable charge level then the battery needs to be replaced. Rechargeable batteries will fail if stored in a discharged state for long periods.

My Nikon Coolpix S3100 won't turn on

I had the same problem, and many other people have had this issue. The camera sat for too long, and the battery fully discharged. It needs to be reset. In order to do that, remove the battery and memory card. Replace only the battery, and plug it in. You should see a green light flashing to the right of the LCD screen. That means it is now charging. Replace your memory card, and let it charge before trying to use it.

My nikon coolpix camera battery dided and now when i plug it in to the charger it wont charge. is there some sort of reset i can do?

If you haven't use your Nikon Coolpix camera battery for a long time and now there is no power, when you first plug it to charger it maybe show none action. And charger longer it will be well. But if your battery Nikon camera battery are used well these days, and it won't be charge. It means you need a new Nikon battery charger

How do I know when an EN-EL! for the Nikon Coolpix 5000 is fully charged? what do the following conditions indicate? 1. Charger red light flashing 2. charger red light steady 3. charger red light...

Charger flashing red indicates the battery is still not full and is in the process of recharging.
Red light steady indicates your battery is fully charged and ready to operate with your Coolpix 5000.
When red light is off it indicates there is no battery inserted or the charger is not pluged in.
