Question about Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W70 Digital Camera

My camera is not going on

A friend on a visit to the US just bought me the camera. I received it two days ago and charged the battery according to the instructions. Upon inserting the battery into the camera a yellow light comes on - the "flash charger lamp". Apart from this light the camera shows no activity and does not switch on when the power button is pressed. I have tried recharging the battery overnight but the result is the same. I have also tried leaving the battery inside the camera until the yellow light switched off by itslef, but still, pressing the power button yields no results. PS: Unfortunately since I am based in Nigeria (West Africa), returning the camera for a new one is not an option I can explore.

Nikon S3000 dosent turn on

Have you updated the firmware? According to Nikon, when the Rechargeable Li-ion Battery EN-EL10 is inserted in the camera and charged, charging sometimes did not stop after the designated amount of time had passed. Usually, you'll receive the message "Battery Exhausted" if this is the problem... but you could also have a completely dead camera as well.

See Nikon's website, download updated firmware to your camera and install a NEW battery. http://support.nikonusa.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/16873

Hi, I seem to have thrown out the instruction manual to my ES30 camera. I need to know how to recharge the batteries using the camera itself. Would be grateful if you can advise me. Thanks mandy

Not every type of camera can charge the battery buy the camera itself. It seems you need a charger for the batteries

I have a Casio Exilim camera which was working fine. I went to use it a few days ago and there was no power. The battery appeared to not accept a charge so I figured it was past its sell by. I bought a new...

Casio cameras use generally chinese batteries. They are mostly under an acceptable quality. So the battery you have bought may be out of order. I do not think that your camera is out of order.
Try another working battery.
If it will not work then send me a comment and lets control additionally.

Batteries

Hi, This might be a case of the defective batteries (though brand new). Most if not all rechargeable batteries including Li-Ion batteries have only so much shelf life. The unit might be new but have been with the dealer for sometime. Probably your best bet would be to bring it back to the dealer and ask for a replacement camera or at least the batteries. Show him the fully charged indicator and how quick it will be gone when you try to take a pic. Of course, you would need your warranty card, proof of purchase and any other documents normally asked for complaints like this, Hope this give you an idea. Good luck and kind regards.
