I dropped my camera (Powershot SD750) on a tile floor and it will not turn on. When it was dropped the battery came out which I then put back in. When the camera did not respond, I removed the battery and
charged it to a full charge. The camera is still not turning on.
I am getting no response at all. Please advise.
Hi
There are several things that could cause this.
1- Check the battery door indicator switch under the battery door and beside the memory card slot. Is the little black switch damaged or missing? Try pressing down gently using a pen it with the door open and then press the power button. Does it turn on?
2- The fuse has blown and needs to be replaced. Offhand I don't recall where it is on the SD750 PCB or how hard it is to solder on a new one (depends on if its tricky to get at or not). Good thing is fuses are really cheap.
3- Other power problem with the PCB due to corrosion or impact damage. The PCB or 'motherboard' of the camera will need to be replaced.
I had the same issue on a SD770 IS. The problem was the switch has a vertical black pin that is triggered when the battery cover door is closed and latched. The switch is to the left of the memory card. See photo.
Further, a drop of Gorilla Glue on the white tab on the battery door cover will extend the tab just enough to trigger the switch. See photo.

My camera Sd750 also stopped working suddenly, It feels like Canon has put a timer in the Camera so that it stops working after a year or so. I had the same problem with one of their printer.
