The batteries recommended the EN-EL19 do not fit my Nikon coolpix S3600. Who do I return the batteries to, you or Amazon. They are to large to fit the battery holder.

I just purchased a new battery door for $15 with shipping from nikon. They sent a simple assembly diagram and I was able to replace the door in 30 minutes. I used a dremel to cut the old door off, but you dont have to do that. I got a little impatient.

Just buy the plastic piece and u can reuse the metal parts for your old battery door.

Call 3104148107 This is the Nikon Parts line, be warned it will probably take as long as 30-45 minutes of old time to get to a person. 
Once you can get to a person, give them the camera model and describe the problem. They just sold me a replacement battery door for $9.95 + $6 dollars shipping and handling. 

The rep was so nice he even printed out the device design blow up, and the relevant section of the manual, so I could see the step by step with out having to purchase the full blown repair manual, which runs $83.

SOURCE: Nikon Coolpix battery will not charge

The battery could be near the end of it's useful life. Try another one to make sure it's the battery and not the camera.

Testimonial: "Thanks but I thought the battery would last more than a year"

SOURCE: Bought a Nikon Coolpix S3000

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).
