Digital Camera I have a cannon powershot. When I view it in play mode its fine. When I try to take a picture it displays the cannon logo on the screen will not open the lense part and then beeps four times. I don't recall it ever being dropped. is this something I can fix myself? is this a serious problem? How much is it going to cost me to get it fixed? Thanks

I looked in all of my manuals and I did not see anything for trouble shooting that mentioned the beeps that I am hearing from my camera

Beep signals should be mentioned in the manual, perhaps on the more comprehensive manual in the PDF file on the CD. Each set of beeps have a meaning. Check out the Canon tech support team.

Canon A75 No startup sound & display on LCD, rest of things works fine

Think it might be your batteries. 700mah batteries are pretty weak by today's standards (most are at least 2,500 mah these days). I'm guessing your batteries are several years old? If so, they're really only meant to have a usable shelf life of a few years, whether they are used or not. Recommend trying a new set of rechargeable batteries.
