If the camera has recently been dropped you may have lens damage that is preventing it from powering up. If it hasn't been dropped your problem may be due to weak/worn out batteries or corrosion on the battery contacts inside the camera which can prevent the full power of the batteries from flowing into the camera. Try this free fix before you do anything else: remove the batteries and wipe the camera contacts firmly with a dry cloth (heavy corrosion may require cleaning with a wire brush, steel wool, or sandpaper). Remove any residue that may have fallen into the battery compartment during cleaning, then wipe both ends of the batteries and place them back in the camera and give them a full charge (assuming that you are using rechargeable batteries). This cleaning clears the problem about 90% of the time. If it doesn't work for you, your batteries may need to be replaced or the camera may have a problem that requires professional repair.

Try cleaning the battery contacts in the camera with a cotton swab lightly dampened with rubbing alcohol.

LCD are very easy to change out once the back of the case is off then all you have to do is carefully lift up the hold down and pull the cable out the LCD can be obtained off of ebay or i think I might have one in stock. once you have the new LCD reverse the steps.

Try hard reset . Remove the batteries and insert new batteries . Sometimes this may work

Another chance is that lens is struck

* Carefully inspect around it for dirt or debris

* If you see any dirt or debris around the lens, use canned air to gently blow it away

* After removing dirt and debris, turn the camera on and off

This should work.

Try this alternate solution (got information from HP )

• Turn off the camera, if possible.
• If an SD memory card is installed, remove the card.

• Remove power from the camera as described below:

1. If you are using only batteries for power, open the battery/memory card door and remove both batteries.
2. If you are using only the AC power adapter, disconnect it from the camera.
3. If you are using both batteries and the AC power adapter, remove both batteries and the power adapter.

• Wait for 15 seconds. Then reinsert the batteries and close the battery/memory card door or reconnect the AC power adapter to the camera. If you are using both batteries and AC power, try each method separately.

• Turn the camera on and off. If the lens does not retract correctly or the camera does not turn on,

You need to take to service center .

I did this aswell, All you can do is tape it unless you can find a new spare part!

Had same problem, now use rechargeable 1800mAh batteries and get at a months full use.

Some cameras have a bettery setting in the menu. You need to make sure this setting is set to the type of batteries you are using. Usually when you use akaline batteries and even if you put in fresh batteries but still get the low battery indication then your camera is set to rechargable (Ni-Mh). Ni-Mh has more power to it then alkaline so this is why you get the low indication.
