My niece owns a finepix fujifilm camera that will not come on even after she charges her battery. She thinks it maybe the charger thats causing the problem. What other ways can she charge her camera if the charger isn't working?

Question edited for clarity, make name and model.
Question moved to sub-category.

They use special high power batteries.

The JX-400 is a camera, not a battery charger. Connecting it to a computer's USB port simply drains the battery faster since the camera has to expend juice communicating with the computer (even if only to say it has nothing to say).

One source for a battery charger is http://www.overstock.com/Electronics/BasAcc-Battery-Charger-Set-for-NP-45-Fuji-FinePix-S610-J110-J150W/7124327/product.html?searchidx=3

No, you must charge the battery outside the camera using a charger. One source for a third-party charger is here.

Remove the battery from the camera, put it into the supplied charger, and plug the charger into a power outlet. Full details are on page 5 of the manual.

Remove the battery from the camera, put it into the supplied battery charger, and plug the battery charger into a power outlet. The charging is complete when the light on the charger turns from orange to green.

Choose a FUJIFILM battery charger Your battery code maybe NP-40

Well you mentioned that it worked fine yesterday with the battery out of the box. That should tell you that the camera and the battery are both fine. The issue is likely the charger itself. Try recharging it again, and double check that you inserted the batteries correctly, and that any switches (such as for 2 or 4 battery charge) are set in the correct position on the charger. If this doesn't work, take the charger back to the store for exchange/refund as defective.

Hi, Your Camera using rechargeable battery Li-on 3.7 Volt . Your computer voltage output of USB port is 5 Volt. So I'm not recommend you to do modification to get your battery charged.
Instead, you can the charger on line at this web : http://www.shopping-batteries.com/chargers/FINEPIX-Z20FD-fujifilm-battery-charger.html
The price is about $20. Regards,

In reality, yes. The AAA batteries are to short for the charger, so some fiddling is required. I'd recommend you buy a suitable multicharger instead.
