Olympus Camedia C-740 Ultra Zoom Digital Camera is not powering on

I have just got a very used camera C-740. I was taking the pictures with it for last two weeks until it suddenly didn't power up yesterday. I tryied three sets of bateries ( what are working in my other camera w/o any problem) but the camera still doesn't want to work. If I connect camera to the external power it works without any issue. ( I am not sure if that is important but when I turn it on with external source there is a baterry indicator on in left upper corner of the LCD screen for few seconds saying the batery are full. What can be an issue? jiri

Battery contaxcts probably- clean the contact inside the chamber and the cover. In side use the eraser on the end of a pencil. Also when switch on -press in the cover - it is possibly a loose contact.

Sony Handycam DCR-DVD 610 - Camera cannot use battery error even though battery is not plugged in the camera I've had this camera for a couple of years now and ever since then the battery has completely died. I wanted to get the footage out of the memory stick in the camera since I had alot of good memories in there. When I wanted to put it on a tripod I accidently dropped it (small 8 inch fall I believe) and it shut off even though I had it plugged in to power, so I unplugged and plugged it back in then turned it on. The camera worked for 5 seconds untill an error saying "Cannot use battery in the camcorder." with error code "C:04:00" even though I had no battery in the camera and it was plugged in to power? Weird thing is that when I press the DISP/BATT INFO button it turns on and after 5 seconds it shows the same error from before (this does not happen when there is no battery in the camera). I've ran out of solutions to fix this and I've tried pressing the reset button and nothing worked. Anything helps!
