Canon sd950is will not turn on

SOURCE: camera wont turn on

Hey Chappy 2,
A couple things I can suggest is to make sure the memory card and battery covers are closed, and/or make sure the battery contacts are clean by polishing the terminals with a soft cotton swab. If this doesn’t work your camera does have a 1 year manufacturers warranty and you can call canon and have it sent to one of their service center or you could bring it to a Geek Squad® precinct in a Best Buy™ store and they will send it out for service under the manufacturers’ warranty.

Sincerely,
Allan
Go Ahead. Use Us.

You can buy an adapter to use FD mount lenses on EOS mount cameras. See this page for more details.

If you bought the camera in January, it's still under warranty for a year. When you get home call 1-800-OK-CANON to arrange warranty repair. They're usually very good about it, and will try to make things right.

Dear Sir,

Welcome to Fixya
Might want to take a look at this:

A screw inside some Canon PowerShot SD950 IS cameras may loosen and fall out due to vibration that is generated while carrying or using the camera. Apparently a screw might have come out that prevents the camera from turning on.
The repair is free-of-charge, even fro out-of-warranty period.


I think it helps.

Have you actually cleaned the contacts or are you just looking at them and they "look" clean? Clean them with a cotton swab lightly dampened in rubbing alcohol.
