I have had my digital camera for a little over a year, and not too long ago it was working fine when the batteries died (at least I think that's what happened). I recharged the batteries and put them back in. It didn't turn on. I tried about 3 different sets of batteries, all of them brand new, and the camera still won't turn on. The camera hasn't been dropped, exposed to extreme temperatures, or anything like that. When it turned off, the lens stayed sticking out and it won't even turn on long enough to go back in. It won't turn on when I connect it to the computer, it just will not turn on. What could the problem be and what can I do to fix it?
I have a similar problem - I took a picture, camera worked just fine, turned it off, came inside and hooked up to computer, tried to turn camera on and it simply won't turn on. Replaced batteries with new, still won't turn on. Have checked memory card, although that was fine when I took the picture, so I'm mystified.

Same as the others. My Canon PowerShot A85 camera will not power up. I checked the batteries, and also used new batteries, still didn't work.Same as the others. My Canon PowerShot A85 camera will not power up. I checked the batteries, and also used new batteries, still didn't work.

Check the pins where the memory card goes in. A bent pin can short things out and prevent it from working properlyCheck the pins where the memory card goes in. A bent pin can short things out and prevent it from working properly

Re: Camera won't turn on
This appears to be a common contact fault
Check the battery compartment and the battery cap.
Try a piece of foil across the batter yop and close the lid see if that makes any difference.
If not Contac the Canong Website- tech support

In most modern cameras is a little rechargeable battery, that keeps the clock ticking. If your camera was a long time without power, perhaps this battery has died. I would buy a new set NiMH rechargeable or recyclo batteries, because they have a bit less capacity, but can hold power for as long as a year. Then charge them and leave the rechargeable batteries in your camera. Keep your fingers crossed, perhaps the little clock battery will be revived?
Things to check first for a camera that won't turn on are battery contact points, and micro switches that are located on the battery and memory card doors. Troubleshooting tips on other things that need to be checked may be seen here. These tips won't work for every case, but they're worth a try.
Hi,
It almost sounds like the battery won't hold a charge anymore which means you need a new battery. Since the camera isn't quite a year old yet I'd suggest contacting Nikon and seeing if they'll do anything for you before you buy a new battery.
Probably the battery, but can't be certain without testing. They do wear out from use. New battery packs sell for a little over 20 bucks - a two pack for for $35 - you can likely fine them cheaper at a battery specialty store online. Do a google search on "battery NP-40" You could also search for a compatible charger, just in case :)
Your battery is defective. Call tech support and tell them you have the EXZ75 but DO NOT tell them that you have had it for over 2 years and they will replace it for you for free. :)
August - this sounds like the same problem I had with my Finepix510. Turns out the new unopened package of batteries I put in weren't fresh enough and weren't working. When I got truly fresh batteries, everything started working just fine again.
