The battery terminals may be corroded or oily. Try cleaning them as best you can with a pencil eraser, or better yet with an ink eraser.

Wait - this is after replacing the battery DOOR? Did the door come with the proper terminals, exactly identical to the old door?

SOURCE: Canon A75 Battery door

Never did it on an S1, but on other models it required removing the back face of the camera to access the battery doory hinge pin.

Examine your camera, and if this sounds feasible, remove all screws along the perimeter of the camera (keeping track of their sizes and where they came from, write it down with a crude drawing of their locations/sizes). Also look for screws in the battery compartment, and any visible screws behind flaps/doors. Once all perimeter screws are removed, you should be able to remove the back face of the camera by prying it open from the bottom. Once opened, the pin holding the battery door should be able to be slid out, enabling removal of the old door. Then in reverse slide the pin into the new door, and reassemble the camera and its screws.

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:

SOURCE: Canon PowerShot A630 power problem: NiMH batteries no longer work

I dont agree, I have tried several different batterie types and the batteries are draining almost instantly with the camera and they are not actually being drained. I think the camera itself is at the end of its life...as I have used rechargeable batteries for the last few years and now they wont even show as being charged on the camera. It stinks Im in your same spot now...no batteries are lasting even the brand new lithium ones...it has nothing to do with the battery "juice" but something with the canon supply power not recognizing/recieving the juice. Im not a canon expert, but I think the problem is more than the battery here Steve and im confused at the solution as well.

Have a canon sx10is cannot open battery case

When you say battery case do you mean the battery compartment on the actual camera ? There should be information in the manual telling you how to do this.

How can I open the battery door on my canon sx10is camera?

This is serious business! If you value you camera, take it to a service centre for proper servicing.

Total power failure after replacing battery door on Canonsx10is

Battery doors are notorius for being difficult to replace unless you have circuitry skills, at least for the ones with more than just a detent switch. Many have wires connected internal to the hinge. You may have inadvertantly severed the door wiring. Not having access to a technical manual, you would never know without calling Canon.

I have a Canon Power Shot A470. I have replaced the batteries many times, always with brand new ones, and it still keeps telling me to change the batteries. What is the problem with it? How do I fix it?

Yes, but what batteries have you been changing? If the AA's, those aren't the clock battery. Open the battery door, and notice the tiny door inside labeled "CR1220". Pry that door open with your fingernail, and take the enclosed CR1220 battery down to your local drugstore to purchase a replacement clock battery. Drugstores seem to be cheaper for this battery (~$3) than retail outlets like W-Mart (~$7).

Canon Power shot A530 repeatedly displays "change

First make sure that you are using quality batteries, and not "super heavy duty". If so, some of The Canon Powershot A530 and A540 cameras are subject to an advisory recall. Seems that a small spring on the battery compartment door can short out the batteries. Suspect this of yours, in that you mention that your batteries aren't lasting long. If your camera is on the list, Canon should fix this for you for free, including free shipping both ways. This is regardless of your camera's warranty status. Please see this link for more info.

A550 date/time problem

Open up your battery door, and you'll notice another tiny door labeled "CR1220". Pry open that door with your fingernails, and you'll find a little button watch battery that keeps the time settings for your camera. It's time for a new battery. Take that little battery down to your local drug store (Walgreens or Rite-Aid). Should only cost about $4. Note that Walmart is more expensive for these type of batteries, and drug stores are usually cheaper (I know, it's hard to believe).

I have a CANON camera A610 - since i changed the batteries it is not powering. The batteries are new. Please advise the possible problem

Double check that the new batteries are actually good. Note that so-called "heavy duty" batteries are terrible for use in digital cameras.
Next thing to check is the battery door slide switch. This is a tiny black micro-switch in the the battery compartment. It's activated by a tiny plastic piece on the battery door slide mechanism that may have broken off.

I have a Canon Power Shot. I turn it on and then

Try a different battery anyway. I had the same problem with a Kodak a couple years ago. I put in a new battery and it started working fine.
