Tape is the only answer. There will not be spares available. or look out for a similar model that is bust in some other way.

Battery door won't stay closed on Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-S90 Digital Camera

The battery door latch is most likely damaged/broken. Try using a piece of duct tape to keep it closed. I've done this on several cameras with battery door latch issues & the doors stayed shut just fine.

I have a Power Shot Canon A540. Even using alkaline batteries, the camera will not stay on. It states replace batteries. It is not on the recall list I checked. It's serial number is 2922243470. ...

I know you said you check, but you could be having the same problem.
ome Canon Powershot A530 and A540 cameras are subject to an advisory recall. It seems that a little hinge spring in the door of the battery compartment can stick out and short the batteries. The end result is very poor battery life, with only a few shots taken before the batteries die. Also the battery door becomes hot.
here is the canon notice

Camera does not turn on

Yes there is, but it's tiny, soldered to the main circuit board, and buried deep inside the camera. But there's two other things you should first check. There's a tiny switch on both the SD card door and the battery door. These switches are closed by small plastic protrusions on the doors as they are closed. These little plastic pieces can sometimes wear down or break off. If so, you'd need to jury-rig something to make sure both switches are closed.

I have a CANON powershot a510 and it doesnt even turn on...

Here's some thing to try for a camera that won't power on.

http://camerarepair.blogspot.com/2007/11/simple-fix-for-dead-cameras-that-wont.html

For your camera, there's a tiny white slide switch on the battery door that closes when the door is closed. Make sure that the switch isn't damaged. Also check the little plastic nib on the battery door that pushes on the switch when the door is closed.

My Canon A510 batteries die out at a very fast rate after recharging. They are Ni-Mh batteries. Could this be a camera problem? I have purchased new batteries in the past and the problem still exists.

See the following advisory for the Canon A530/A540. Pay close attention to the exposed battery door spring in the picture. The A510 has a similar possibility of the spring slipping out from under the plate, thus shorting the batteries. If it did, you can easily fix it by removing the three screws on the plate, and readjusting the plate so that the spring is again underneath the plate where it belongs. Or use a small piece of tape between the plate and spring to prevent it from shorting on the plate.

If the spring is NOT exposed, how old are your NiMH batteries? They really aren't meant to last more than a year or two. Also, Alkaline batteries are just eaten alive by the A510, so don't recommend using them as a benchmark to judge performance.

Power shot a75 does not turn on.

First, check that the battery terminals are clean and in contact with the batteries. Next, there are two door switches on the A75 that need to close to operate the camera. One is by the flash card door, the other by the battery door. A small piece of plastic on each door activates the switches when the doors are closed. Check to make sure that both of these are indeed being pushed in all the way when the doors are closed. Hope this helps at least one of you peeps.

Date and time reset at power-on

Canon point and shoot cameras have an internal backup battery (a very small watch battery sized cell). Look under your battery door - do you see a small tab that has "CR1220" or something like that marked on it? If so - this is your backup cell. Just replace it and you will be good to go. If you do not see this, then the backup battery is buried deep inside the camera and would require full disassembly to replace. David Millier Advance Camera Repair
