My Coolpix s6000 just won't charge I bought a new battery and it worked for a short time and now as soon as you take it off the charger it dies. please tell me what I need to do to fix it or how to send it back to get repaired although its over a year old it had the problem the first time I used it we went on a trip it worked for like 50 pics then it died and it never would charge after that until I got the new battery then we went on another trip and it died again and it still won't even turn on after its unplugged from the wall.

SOURCE: Batteries die

Hello; Same as tbeartusk on my coolpix L3 Nikon
Batts exhausted within 30 Min. and screen says Batteries "exhausted"

SOURCE: Can I charge Coolpix S210 via USB cable and wall outlet?

No. In order to keep down the size and weight, the camera does not include the circuitry needed to charge the battery.

Hello

OK, here is a suggestion, no guarantees, if this does not work, let me know so we can try something else.

The problem is that the lens has become stuck in the barrel. There are some DIY solutions you could try, but the probability is that you will have to get it fixed by a professional.

Use these at own risk as it may further damage the camera.

Firstly , try connecting your ac adapter or usb cable.

Try holding the shutter button while switching on the camera.

Look at the lens , and if some of the lens 'circles' is misaligned or not concentric then try wiggling it (while holding camera lens down).

Try gently pushing or pulling the lens when it extends but this is risky as it may cause the lens barrel to slip out of its guidance system.

Another way to do this is to place the camera lens down on a hard surface and then power it up. Be sure to use a soft cloth or something similar as to not scratch your lens or casing. Let the lens push the camera up and down a few times and sometimes the little resistance provided by the camera is enough to get things going again.

Try hitting your camera near the lens on the body with the soft tissue on the palm of your hand.

Other than that , I would take the camera to a repair center for a evaluation to see if it would cost more to repair than to replace the camera.

If it is still under warranty I would suggest you take it in before trying any of these steps and remove any off-brand batteries or accessories as some stores are really fussy about warranty repairs on camera's with non-brand accessories.

Hope the advise is useful. Please do not hesitate to let me know if you need any further assistance.

Regards
Andrea

Hi, It almost sounds like the battery won't hold a charge anymore which means you need a new battery. Since the camera isn't quite a year old yet I'd suggest contacting Nikon and seeing if they'll do anything for you before you buy a new battery.

SOURCE: My Nikon COOLPIX S3100 battery is exhausted, even though I charged it last night like I usually do every night.

Did you ever find a solution for this? I'm having the same problem.
