You may want to try if the little black latch contact next to the
battery and the memory card is not working properly. The camera will freeze and not turn on when this contact is not engaged. Open the battery
latch, press down on the little black contact using a pen and try to
turn on the camera. If so, the latch doesn't engage that contact any
more in regular use. If not, no luck. I had this problem and fixed it
by putting a small thick piece of tape on the little pin on the latch
that is supposed to press this contact.

im having the same problem!! except my camera's frozen with the lens out! i went out with my camera one night and lost the battery (fell out by accident) while the camera was still on. Nothing else has happened to it, i bought 2 new btteries so far and the camera still wont turn on. I think it needs rebooting aswell, but how???
My camera stopped working. I charged the battery, put it back in and it wouldn't work. Won't even turn on. I tried manually working that latch under the battery door, but it doesn't help.
My camera simply would not turn on after charging the battery... I tried pressing the lever by the battery in and still no dice. This is frustrating as I have only had the camera a little over a year.
