So my nikon coolpix S3000 will not turn on. It got dropped while we were taking a picture and now it wont turn on and when i plug the charger in the green light does not turn on. I have taked the memory card and battery out for a while and it still has not worked.

Try NOT connecting your camera to your computer.


The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries.


Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive, the same way you copy any other files. Or you can use any photo cataloging program such as Nikon Transfer or Picasa.

okay let mi think....
you cant charge a nikon camera via usb port the usb port is data only


please reply and try to use a nikon coolpix s3000 charger

Most cameras do not charge through the USB port. It is only used for transferring pictures. You will need to get an actual battery charger.

You may need to purchase a new battery for this. Or there could be a problem with your battery charger or power cord. Replacing the battery and charger is the simplest solution.

Something like this:

Good luck!

Not all computer USB ports put out enough current to charge batteries, especially if you're going through a hub. Try a different USB port if one is available. Otherwise, plug the supplied AC charger into a wall outlet and use that.
