The solution to your problem is simple, Kathrynbax.
The battery never comes in fully charged. It's always charged only so you may be able to check if your camera is working. I suggest, you take out your battery and put it to charge for exactly 90 minutes as the manual says. Then I'm sure you won't face any such problems.
Hope this solves your problem.
Good day!

I've had the same exact problem. I have 2 batteries and both were fully charged. I'm not an idiot, I know how to charge a battery. If the camera turns on, if I let it "idle" it won't turn back on. I have to turn the camera off, take the battery out and put it back in and that only works half the time. Sometimes I press the battery in the chamber and hold it myself. It's like the battery isn't being pressed against the inside hard enough.
I've tried to explain this to Nikon and they told me to get a new battery and charger but I know it's not my battery. My camera has never been damaged and has always been placed in my Nikon bag when not in use.
I'm at a loss of what to do. I've invested too much money into this camera to just let it be wasteful.

Andisheax22 don't you just love it when people think that it is always the user's fault who appears to be the *****?
I am the original poster of the above message. I don't know why FixYa took 7 months to reply, but I eventually returned the camera to the dealer after writing to Nikon directly.
Nikon admitted that there is an issue with the battery of this particular make of Nikon camera. As a result, I was given a new camera and have had no issues since. It is a great camera once it works!
I suggest you do the same.
Hope it works out for you.

No, it wasn't; on two accounts. First of all, your reply is 7 months late, and secondly don't automatically assume that the fault lies with the user. Telling a photographer to charge a battery for a new camera is like asking a computer engineer if his computer is turned on when it has fried itself. It's just as insulting.
Perhaps if you did some research on the subject you would have seen from the various threads that there is an issue with the Nikon camera itself. That was why I was given a replacement within days of writing to Nikon.
