It was working fine the other day. it said battery was empty so i charged it. i've noticed it's battery life has been getting shorter though. but now it won't turn on. i'm almost positive i haven't dropped it. and nikon doesn't support it :[ any suggestions?
A new battery perhaps What type of battery is it?
you have the choice new battery or new camera.
Seems extreme- until you check the price of a new battery - they ain't cheap- only to find that battery is misbehaving because of some other mischief.
So check battery prices- great sites on line.
or do you have a store or some such near you who can test the battery?
Dud batteries of one sort or another associated with premium products have been in the news of late because of quality problems.
Be a shame to dump a camera because its battery is NBG.

SOURCE: Nikon CoolPix S5 - Same trouble
I went through the process of sending my camera in to the nikon repair center. it was used very little, in fact it appears brand new. it had never been mistreated, wich is what nikon tried to convince me must have happened because they refuse to believe that they have sold an inferior product. they never told me what is wrong with the camera but wanted $146 to fix it and send it back. the only solution is that everyone send their s5 back to the service ctr and refuse to pay to have them repaired. they e-mail a survey and if we all give them low marks maybe they will decide that they should take care of their customers a little better, especially with todays economy. the survey asks if you would purchase or recommend NIKON again. I told them that I WOULD AVOID NIKON LIKE A SICK CHINESE CHICKEN.

I'm having the same problem. The camera won't turn on and the battery didn't give any indication it was about to die. Any reset feature that might bring it back to life?
Camera was dropped from knee height, no surface damage but will not switch on. Battery is fully charged and I have tried connecting to pc. Any suggestions? Many thanks
