Assuming that you have fresh or fully charged batteries installed,
chances are that the problem is corroded battery contacts inside the
camera. Remove the batteries and clean the inside contacts with a fine
wire brush, steel wool, or fine sandpaper. Remove any residue that's
in the camera from the cleaning, then reinstall your batteries.
Hopefully this will cure the problem and get the camera back up and
working the way it should.
If that doesn't do the trick, you might want to try your luck with the Kodak Troubleshooting guide at:

- Remove the batteries and clean the battery contacts inside the camera
with a soft cloth (a heavy buildup on the contacts may require cleaning
with a fine wire brush, steel wool, or sandpaper). Remove any residue
that the cleaning leaves in the camera, and then reinstall the
batteries. This clears most power-on problems, but if yours persists,

- This problem is frequently due to corroded battery terminals inside the
camera. Remove the batteries and wipe the terminals with a soft cloth
(heavy corrosion may require a fine wire brush, steel wool, or
sandpaper). Remove any residue left in the camera by the cleaning.
Clean the terminals on the batteries in the same manner, and then
replace them in the camera. This cures most problems, but if it
doesn't work for you, check the Kodak troubleshooting guide at:
