Kodak C340 I installed new batteries and docked it over night and the camera still dose not turn on

Did he drop it while it was being used?

Also, I assume that you have fresh batteries.
Why doesn't the lens retract when I turn off my camera or extend when I turn on my camera? Question : Why doesn't the lens retract when I turn off my camera or extend when I turn on my camera? Answer : The batteries may be low or exhausted.

NOTE: If the batteries run low on power, your camera may turn off without retracting the lens. In most cases, this is normal and can be corrected by recharging the camera batteries.

Your problem may be due to corrosion on the battery contacts inside the camera which can prevent the full power of the batteries from flowing into the camera. Try this free fix before you do anything else: remove the batteries and wipe the camera contacts firmly with a dry cloth (heavy corrosion may require cleaning with a wire brush, steel wool, or sandpaper). Remove any residue that may have fallen into the battery compartment during cleaning, then wipe both ends of the batteries and place them back in the camera. This cleaning clears the problem about 90% of the time. If it doesn't work for you, the camera may require professional repair.

You can also try installing the software online by using this website www.kodak.com/go/easysharesw , once you're done make sure that the camera is turned on befor connecting to your computer.

try taking out the batteries, and clean the connectors that the batteries touch, and the ends of the batteries (if recharagable). Sometimes a dirty connector can make the batteries seem that they are dead even if they are rechargable. If the camera works with new disposable batteries but not with the rechargable ones, then you may need to purchase some new rechargable ones.

okay...

waiting for your reply

Make sure that the camera has sufficient power when connecting and aslo try connecting the cam w/out the sdcard

1st place to try is the Kodak technical support team on the web site. If it is still under warranty then this will be dealt with. If out of warranty then a low cost replacement may be on offer. A repair does not seam feasible if it is deemed to be a hardware failure.
