Can i plug my nikon coolpix s570 into my computer to charge battery

The new battery may be really dead (discharged). Please leave battery out for a while and then put it back in and plug in the power plug. (Do NOT push any button on the camera) Make sure the camera CAN CHARGE the battery first. Typically one Green LED lights up and another one flashes. If it does this then WAIT until the battery is fully charged.

I hope you're not trying to charge the camera by plugging it into your computer. While some cameras work that way, your camera requires that you charge the battery in the supplied battery charger.

The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries.

Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive, the same way you copy any other files. Or you can use Nikon Transfer or any other photo cataloging program.

The camera originally comes with a Nikon EN-EL10 Lithium-ion Battery.

Hope this helped. Please leave feedback.

i have a nikon s570 that is about 18 months old. (not under warantee anymore) it won't turn on, so we bought a brand new battery, charged it and it still won't turn on. Nothing. no motor noise, no lights, nothing. any ideas? nikon wants us to send it to them for evaluation and fixing....any thoughts?

The S570 doesn't have any charging circuitry. Connecting it to a computer's USB port drains the battery faster, since the camera has to communicate with the computer (even if it's only to say it's got nothing to say). The battery MUST be charged outside the camera, using the supplied MH-63 charger.

If you need a charger, you can order one from Nikon at

If you want to go with a third-party charger, one such is

No. If you have an S610, take the battery out of the camera, put the battery into the charger, and plug the charger into a wall outlet. If you have an S610c, plug the AC adapter into the camera.

Try NOT connecting your camera to your computer.

Use a good antivirus software to scan the SD card. Your SD card could be infected.

Hope this helped.
