Camera will not turn on. Just a quick green flash- and nothing. Put in many NEW BATTERIES so that is not the problem. Seems like it just died or batteries are not getting "contact". Camera is 2 yearws old- no problems until now.

Old batteries will take a charge, albeit more quickly and cannot supply enough power to carry on working.
Time to purchase a new battery and hope you won't need a new camera as well.
Green light flashed, turned red, lens would not open. Put in new rechargeable batteries, still nothing. Someone here suggested to try regular AA cheapie batteries. IT WORKED!
This can sometimes be fixed if you remove the batteries over night and allow the camera to sit and discharge it should correct this problem. hope this helps.
Chances are that the problem is corroded battery contacts inside the
camera. Remove the batteries and clean the inside contacts with a fine
wire brush, steel wool, or fine sandpaper. Remove any residue that's
in the camera from the cleaning, then reinstall your batteries.
Hopefully this will cure the problem and get the camera back up and
working the way it should.
If that doesn't do the trick, you might want to try your luck with the Kodak Troubleshooting guide at:
Try changing to rechargable batteries. I had exactly the same problem. I used recharable they run out so tried various types of alkaline batteries but the camera would not turn on. Getting the flashing green light. Charged the batteries put them back in and working again
remove the SD Card and the batteries. Wait for half an hour and then insert two new batteries. Do not put the SD card in as yet. (Waiting for half an hour or more allows the camera to reset itself).
the camera will not turn on even though I have inserted new batteries
