Power switch is loose, not making good contact

It seems that the power switch on my e-500 is loose, or otherwise not making good contact. The camera turns on and functions normally only after pressure is applied to the mode dial, directly over the power switch. Anyone ever hear of this before, or have any idea how to service this?? Any help is much appreciated, and if you have any info please send a copy to [email protected] Thanks! -David

What causes battery to be drained on 97 honda ACE 1100? seems it may be the starter switch on the handlebar but I am not sure that connection would drain the battery. The switch, over the past couple of...

At this point sounds like just the loose connection to the battery. What you need to do is check with a volt meter to see if it is charging its a simple test if you have a volt ohm meter or just take it to your local shop depending where your battery is located it a very quick check to determine if you have a charging problem.
As for the handle bar switch start button there is some carbon built up on the contact use contact cleaner for this.
Otherwise looks like your good to go

My batteries are full but camera won't switch on, it's dead!!!

It might be a problem with one of the switches at either the battery or flash card door.
Here are some simple things to try first for a camera that won't power on. They won't work for every case, but they're worth a try.

Make sure you are using a fully charged Nikon battery. Problems may sometimes happen with generic batteries. If you are using a Nikon batt, then seems you may need to bring this in for servicing

I have a canon Power Shot S50. The mechanical slider that covers the lens is loose. When I open it, it doesn't power up the camera. I suspect there is a switch underneath the cover is broken.

The open door button on a circuit board is usually micro. A loose cover will likely not make contact with this small switch. Take the cover off and tighten the screws on the inside. Try to locate the switch to inspect if it has been wore off, broken, or missing even.

Fellows Powershred OS-11Cs - not working

It's just the (On and Off) switch not working properly (loose contact). Try to disassemble it and take a look if it's in the center location to make contact with On or Off positions.

Good luck!

CAsio Ex-V7- display

Good model! If you just purchased it, its always a good idea to exchange it if you can. Otherwise, make sure to take out the battery, wait for 20 seconds, put it back in then restart it. Some times this just resets your devices. Otherwise, it might be something in between the battery connection and the power cord. Keep us posted. Good luck!
