Canon sd950is won't turn on

Check for corosion from old batteries? New battery good? Model of camera?

Things to check first for a camera that won't turn on are battery contact points, and micro switches that are located on the battery and memory card doors. Troubleshooting tips on other things that need to be checked may be seen here. These tips won't work for every case, but they're worth a try.

Yes I get something similar with my Panasonic camera just because I take the battery out when the camera is waiting for the next outing, but it is ok as soon as I set the clock and if I leave the battery in. From what you said then perhaps the internal battery is faulty but if you don't usually leave the battery in, you could try leaving the battery in for a few days to see if that restores some power to the internal battery.

Hi,
Make sure or Check out following thing :-

• Direction of your battery might be wrong, Check out and put it again.
• Clean your battery terminal with soft cloth. (Might be it will filled with dirt or dust )
• Check whether Memory Card/Battery Cover is properly closed.
• Load new or fully charged battery.
• Turn ON the camera, again firmly.

Else, Your device need service (repair)
Rating the solution is highly appreciated....Good Luck

That can be from a few causes such as the fuses blowing. It is worth fixing if you have warranty but may cost as much or more than a replacement camera if you are no longer covered..

Make sure the battery is new or in good shape to hold a full charge. It may be a good idea to check the voltage the charger is putting out. Also test the voltage the battery is receiving and holding when not in the camera.
It may be possible to test this camera with an external voltage adapter of the correct voltage. If you can get the camera started, then go to the menus and set all to factory default settings.
If you still have no results, then I would suggest to call Canon at the repair department and ask questions, and also find how much a repair is. Canon also has a trade-up or trade-in program.
Go to canon.com and to the repair section.
This same thing happened to one of the cameras I had which is similar. The external power supply made it work, some problem is internally. Canon had checked it for me, and found internal damage due to water buildup on the circuit board.

If you bought the camera in January, it's still under warranty for a year. When you get home call 1-800-OK-CANON to arrange warranty repair. They're usually very good about it, and will try to make things right.

Camera will not power on. Canon posted a bulletin regarding a possible solution for some SD950's at the following website. Apparently this model has a screw that can come loose inside and the camera will not power. They just found this to be the case with my SD950, and they fixed it for free. It was outside of the warranty by a couple months. They even sent me a prepaid UPS shipping label to send them my camera for repair. See the link below for more on this possible solution:
