I have two EOS 3000n's and with one of the cameras i put batteries in that have definite charge, and it just flashes one symbol on the display whenever i press anything or move the wheel. I use the same batteries on the other camera and it works fine but this one just does nothing. Do you know whats wrong?

SOURCE: Battery Charging light doesn't flash and battery doesn't charge

I have the same problem. Worked for 3 years and now the battery charges to green but goes dead immediately. I've changed batteries. Its the camera not the batteries. Works fine plugged in. Obviously the cameras are not charging the batteries. Canon must know but I cannot find a fix and warranty is over. I guess buying the expensive camera of the day isnt always assuring you of quality.

SOURCE: not sure of exact problem

The charger may not be charging the batteries properly.
The batteries you are buying may not be good.
There may be a fault in the camera where the voltage is not being properly regulated.

Your best solution would be to take the camera to a camera service center to have everything properly tested to resolve the issue.

SOURCE: I have the Canon Rebel XS and it was working

see if you can test the camera with another battery , you may be able to borrow one from a local camera store

I was having the same problem and changing to Alkaline batteries seems to have solved the problem. I hope this helps!
