1. Turned it on, said battery was exhausted. 2. Plugged it into computer, worked fine. 3. Plugged it into a wall USB charger, seemed to be working fine. 4. Took out memory card while still plugged in. 5. Camera said no card, put card back in. 6. Unplugged from USB charger, wouldn't turn on. 7. Plugged into computer, nothing happened. 8. Plugged into USB charger, nothing happened. 9. Repeated multiple times with and without card, still won't work. If it says not use converters, how I am supposed to charge it while traveling?
Coolpix Cameras are tricky to use with chargers. I will assume your USB Charger EH-69P is 100 - 240V 50/60 Hz so it CAN work in many places around the world with an adapter. Do not go over 240V or you could damage it.
These cameras like to have the power supply connected when it is on to charge - meaning if you have it connected and you plug the charger in the wall it will NOT charge. So if you plug the charger in the wall first and then plug the cable in the camera it will work. The camera is actually ON when it charges and I never REMOVE the memory card when it is ON.
When you have a dead battery. Plug the camera in and make sure the ON LED lights and the Charge LED flashes. Then don't mess with it. Let it charge completely (Charge LED stops flashing and is OFF) and then unplug it. It will turn off. Then later you can turn it on.

Think you may have bent a card pin. Remove the card and the camera's batteries. Look in the card slot for any bent pins. If you see one, don't fret, it may be fixable. Use a small/skinny jeweler's flat screwdriver to bend the pin back as close as possible (one from the dollar store is fine for this). Take your time and use as much patience as you can muster. Take a breather in between if needed.
It doesn't have to be perfect, just as close as you can get it. When it's there, take your flash card and "SLOWLY" insert it. The card itself should fine-align the pin. Remove the card, and verify that the pin is still straightened. If so, reinsert the card and try it out.
If there are no bent pins in the slot, then the next obvious thing to try is a different CF card.

As per the Samsung digimax range, internal memory seems to be faulty. Insert an external memory card and try to power up the camera.....

Some Panasonic cameras only work with Panasonic batteries...part of Panasonic's plan to dominate the world! Is your replacement battery an off-brand?

Try the following:
- Remove and insert the battery (to reset)
- Start your coolpix
- During a few seconds, it shoud start... before saying the battery is low. Quickly connect it to a computer during that time (quite short !)
The problem occurs when the "charge by computer" option is activated (see user manual item #173 / page 161).
If the light flashes again, do not press the on/off button: instead, wait for the battery to get charged (otherwise everything will get stopped - and you will have to play again).
When done, check the "charge by computer" option (and fix it if misconfigured).
