NO POWER - TOTALLY DEAD!

It depends on what type of battery it uses. Some batteries once they have fully discharged are not able to recharge

Try non-rechargeable batteries, and try testing your rechargeable batteries because they do wear out.

The battery is most probably defect. and then,
The manual says:


Battery is exhausted.
When connecting to an electrical outlet using a Charging AC Adapter, the camera cannot be turned on.

• Confirm all connections.
  
• Off is selected for Charge by computer in the setup menu.
  
• When charging by connecting the camera to a computer, battery charging stops when the camera is turned off.
  
• When charging by connecting the camera to a computer, battery charging stops if the computer is suspended (sleeping), and the camera may turn off.
  
• Depending upon computer specifications, settings, and status, it may be impossible to charge the battery inserted into the camera via computer connection.
  

So even when you think the battery is charged, it still can be empty. When a rechargeable battery is old, or not often used, it can lose its capacity, not being able to power the equipment it was meant for correctly.
To make sure your battery is good, you could try to check the voltage with a multi meter. The voltage should be slightly higher than the 3,6 Volt that is printed on the battery. like 3,8 Volt, when measured. if it is just a fraction lower than the 3,6 is is not fully charged and it will be much lower when put in a camera, after switching on the camera. When you measure 2,4 Volt, 1,2 Volt or even nothing you can be sure the battery is dead.

Best option then, would be to order a new battery. But if you know someone with a camera that has the same battery that works, ask if you can check your camera still works with a battery that is ok. because when in a rear situation it is you camera that is defective, you can save the mont for a new battery and look out for a new camera, because the batteries are not cheap.

You cannot usually charge a totally flat battery from the USB port. These are only used to "Top UP" the battery... You need to replace it with a fully charged one,and then us the USB to keep it fully charged.

I had the same problem but it powered up after I removed the cover and wiggled the battery.

I hope this helps.

friend

the problem clearly shows the fault is in the motherboard

thanks

Your battery will no longer take a charge. Replace the battery with a new one. Your computer probably does not supply the power to the camera. You need a fully charged battery in the camera to view or transfer photos onto your computer.

it might be a problem with the battery connectors.
They might not touch the battery well.
another reason, it might be the battery is dead or the power button is not working.

Does it work with "no batteries" - only plugged into power source? check your usb cable by trying to power up something else.

Here are some simple things to try first for a camera that won't power on:
