I put in new batteries, but the camera will still not come on.
If none of the suggested causes
helps resolve the issue, then I suggest you bring it in for repair.
Please check the following things when the camera does not turn on.
Possible causes and how to handle them
1. The camera is not on
Turn on the camera. (Operation procedure varies
between camera models. Please refer to the camera user guide supplied
with your camera.)
2. The rechargeable battery is not fully charged.
Make sure the rechargeable battery is fully
charged. If the battery has not been used for an extended period of
time, or if it is being used for the first time, it may not be fully
charged. In cases like this, fully charge the battery and then discharge
it completely in the camera several times to bring the battery back to
its normal performance.
The rechargeable battery's capacity diminishes the
longer the battery is used. When the battery consumption becomes
quicker, the battery life may be at its end. Replace the battery with a
new one.
3. The battery terminals are dirty.
When camera does not operate with a brand-new
alkaline battery (for cameras that use AA-size batteries) or with a
fully charged rechargeable battery, the terminals may be dirty.
Polish the terminals with a dry cloth and make sure the terminals are
clean. If the terminals are covered with oil from your skin or similar
matter, this may cause poor contact and power may not be fully supplied
to the camera.
Also, polish the battery charger terminals with a
dry cloth before charging the battery. If the terminals are covered with
oil from your skin or similar matter, this may cause poor contact and
the battery may not be fully charged.
4. The batteries are not installed correctly (for cameras that use AA-size batteries)
For cameras that use AA-size batteries, multiple
batteries are used in one camera. Make sure the direction of each
battery matches the direction indicated on the camera. If any of the
batteries are improperly inserted, the camera will not operate.
5. The battery cover or CF card (SD card) slot cover is not securely closed
Most cameras have a lock mechanism on the battery
cover. The camera will not turn on if the battery cover is not locked or
securely closed, or if the CF card (SD card) slot cover is not securely
closed. Make sure these covers are securely closed.
If your camera does not operate after checking
each of these things, or if there is any visible damage on your camera
that could be the cause, please contact the nearest Service Center.

Hello
Thank you for using FIXYA!!!
This
is a suggestion. If you do not feel comfortable trying it, you will need to take
the unit to your nearest service centre. Feel free to let me know if you
need any assistance.
The problem might be that the lens has become stuck in the barrel. There are some DIY solutions you could try, but the
probability is that you will have to get it fixed by a professional.
Use
these at own risk as it may further damage the camera.
Firstly ,
try connecting your ac adapter or usb cable.
Try holding the
shutter button while switching on the camera.
Look at the lens ,
and if some of the lens 'circles' is misaligned or not concentric then
try wiggling it (while holding camera lens down).
Try gently
pushing or pulling the lens when it extends but this is risky as it may
cause the lens barrel to slip out of its guidance system.
Another
way to do this is to place the camera lens down on a hard surface and
then power it up. Be sure to use a soft cloth or something similar as to
not scratch your lens or casing. Let the lens push the camera up and
down a few times and sometimes the little resistance provided by the
camera is enough to get things going again.
Try hitting your
camera near the lens on the body with the soft tissue on the palm of
your hand.
Other than that , I would take the camera to a repair centre for a evaluation to see if it would cost more to repair than to
replace the camera.
If it is still under warranty I would suggest
you take it in before trying any of these steps and remove any
off-brand batteries or accessories as some stores are really fussy about
warranty repairs on camera's with non-brand accessories.

Hope
the advise is useful. please do not hesitate to let me know if you need
any further assistance. Also, please be so kind to let me know if you
found this helpful.
