I got my F828 back from Sony last night via UPS. It was sent in for repair of a broken bettery latch (second time for the same repair). This time after being gone one month, it comes back with a "Passed QA" sticker on it. Thanks Sony, the sticker looks very nice. Oh, one small problem... now the camera will not power up. I have tried more than one battery that works in another camera, so that is not an issue. I have also reset the camera using the reset button found under the batter cover door. Any ideas short of sending it back at my own expense for the third time.
I also had a similar problem, except mine would not power off. It worked fine before I sent to Sony repair for some other warranty work, but when it came back I loaded the battery, shot a few pics and could not turn the thing off! Kind of frustrating walking straight back to the Sony store and send it back the same day. You're right it does take a long time for Sony repairs, but at least the tech was nice enough to phone to discuss the problem. In my case they replaced the system board and ribbon cable and has been working pefectly (knock on wood) for a couple of months.

Have you tried with the AC power cable?

Yeah my F828 just refused to come on one day. I too tried to reset it to no avail. I tried charging the battery which did no good either. I've been real careful with this camera and have never dropped it or abused it. Any ideas?
