FinePix V10 Will not turn on.

It seems to me the most obvious thing to look at would be the power switch. I don't think impact would damage the battery unless it cracked or punctured it - and I assume it hasn't since you haven't mentioned that.

Have you checked the switch itself for any damage, and made sure it's making contact when it's switched, and traced the leads from the switch back to the board - or even all the way to the battery? I think you'll find your problem somewhere in there.

The smaller battery should be for storing long term memory - i.e. any configurable settings. Even if that was dead, the camera would still turn on, it just wouldn't remember any settings.

Sounds like the sensor ribbon has slightly come out of it's socket.
Just needs re seating

dischare ur batt. 1st then charge again fully then use

It appears that the moving parts of the objective(those that go in and out when you zoom) could be damaged.This occures when the camera is dropped-in this case the most you can do is cleaning the moving parts and try gently to shake them or do anything that may unblock it.

Another blame could be the weak batteries or acumulator of your camera.Try get some new batteries or charge the acumulator.

A final thing you could do is reset to default the camera settings.

If any of these won't help, I suggest you should go to a specialised service, cause the problem-more common than you think- could be serious.

Check Fuji Customer support re this. It may be a custom device that looks like a battery.

just wondering if you figured out how to "fix" it...i realize you didn't get any suggestions...this happened to my camera last night i'm going to be a tid bit pissed if we can't retrieve the pictures from the card...just got back from hawaii...awesome timing huh
