High temperature is a lithium batteries worst enemy .. also the LCD display doesnt like that .. you might try removing the battery for 10 min .. check to make sure its not swollen .. then replace it and see if that resets your camera back to a working condition .. see if the camera will work with the charger hooked up .. if not your camera might be toast .. if it does work on the charger then the battery may have been damaged by the heat ..

If the camera does respond when you hold down the shutter release, then the internal clock battery may have drained. As the manual says on page 17, charge your main battery, put it in the camera, and leave it be for up to three days.

Sounds like you forgot to use the "safely remove hardware" function when you unplugged the camera. Try this.. remove the card and battery...press every button....leave it alone for 20 minutes....insert the card and then the battery...turn it on.

Flash not working

Before you give up on the camera:

There are many setting that can affect whether the flash works or not.
You may have inadvertently set something that is stopping the flash from working.

Get out your User Manuals and use the index at the back of the book.
Look for something about "Resetting the camera".

This will reset the camera to factory specifications.
Then see if the flash works.

If that does not work ... recharge the battery and try again.

If that does not work, the flash is likely dead.
