New batteries but no power
Sometimes it helps when you tell what model you have, but still I will try to give some common hints.Depending of what you use, always be sure all batteries are the same, charged and suited for your camera. Most of the time even new Ni-CD rechargeable batteries won't work, because the voltage is to low, according to Ni-MH or alkaline batteries. Checking the voltage of every cell with a multimeter could tell you for sure the batteries are good. Voltage should be jus above the voltage printed on the battery when measured. Then there could be a malfunction of the camera.When something is blocked in the camera, the electronic will shut down, to prevent extra damage. Sometimes the lens is stuck and won't come out. This could have lots of causes, but it should overheat the motor or bring extra damage to the gears. Most of the tome you can't repair mechanical malfunction of a camera yourself, so you should visit your dealer of the support centre from Vivitar.
