I charged the battery. I cleaned off the memory card...you turn it on...the little orange light at the bottom comes on quickly, but the display remains black. The lens is focusing....or moving like it is trying to auto focus, but it will not take a picture and the screen remains black. Tried putting in 2 new brand new batteries...nothing changed.

Alright, so well I just got off information from canon support, and they said to hard restart (1. take out batt/memory card 2. turn the camera to on. leave for 20 seconds 3. press shutter button 6 times 4. let sit for 30 minutes) Then to use it after those 30 minutes. If it doesn't work, just send it into canon.

This is usually caused by a defective shutter release switch - it'll have to go into a repair shop - independent shops will charge about $110 USD - Canon charges about $180

A stuck shutter is another common failure mode for digital cameras. The symptoms of a stuck or "sticky" shutter are very similar to CCD image sensor failure. The camera may take black pictures (for shutter stuck closed), or the pictures may be very bright and overexposed, especially when taken outdoors (for shutter stuck open).
To confirm a stuck shutter, put the camera in any mode other than "Auto", and turn the flash OFF (you don't want to blind yourself for the next step). Next look down the lens and take a picture. You should see a tiny flicker in the center of the lens as the shutter opens and closes. If no movement is seen, then you likely have a stuck shutter. If so, please see this link for further info and a simple fix that may help.

Thanks, after I posted I brought it to a camera shop....they couldn't get it to work and resent it to Canon.
