The problem is with the battery connectors or an integrated circuit fault with your camera for which you need a replacement. If you device is under warranty you can make use of it or else what you can do is get it serviced from a reliable service center.
Camera was probably dropped. Motorized autofocus lens was probably damaged when dropped. It doesn't get more of a big deal than this. Depending on age of camera, it may be a ''wipe-out.''
Ps... I'm saying ''probably'' dropped because I didn't see it happen, but this is precisely what happens when they are dropped. It doesn't take much of a ''jolt'' to do the damage, and there is usually never any external damage.
If the camera was dropped and it does not turn on with a known GOOD battery the camera must have been damaged. When you dropped it the FIRST time and it worked you were lucky. Cameras do NOT like to be dropped.
I recently got this camera and it did the same thing to me. I found this site and did what quido777 said to do, smacked it on my leg, didn't work. But then I decided to check the memory card and took it out and put it back in, and now its working. I'm guessing it didn't detect the memory card for whatever reason. Before all of this I called tech support and they didn't know **** and wanted me to send it in. I'm glad I decided to fix it myself before going through all of that. But one thing is fore sure, after this camera, I'm never purchasing from Fujifilm again.
Did you accidentally drop it? If you did then there is a big chance that the lens is busted. If you didn't drop it, then it could be just dust/dirt inside the lens mechanism. Hold your camera with the lens facing the ground and then repeatedly tap it your camera gently - moderately to remove the dirt. You can also try spraying compressed air into it.
Hello Try removing the battery and the memory card for 1 minute then return them back. Make sure the battery is inserted properly. If that didn't work, try turning it on without the memory card.
Did you get any error message when you try to turn on your camera?
DO NOT TRY TO TURN IT ON! Remove the card and battery....try to dry out those compartments. Bury the camera in a bowl of uncooked rice for one week. Insert the battery and, with fingers crossed, try to turn it on. Even if it works, you may still have a problem with a haze over the lens elements when the water dried. You didn't say if the water was fresh or salt. If it was saltwater, the salt will continue to corrode the internal circuits of the camera.
This actually a really common problem among Canon point and shoot cameras. There are a couple of methods that have worked well for others.
1. Open the battery compartment and remove the batteries. Then take a regular wooden pencil and place the eraser end down onto the battery contacts. Rotate the pencil to remove any corrosion. Sometimes a lack of proper battery contact will result in the low battery indicator.
2. Take a toothpick and wedge the tip under the battery contact and break it off. This will put more pressure between battery and contacts.
You can also try installing 3rd party firmware at http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/CHDK_in_Brief This is a bit technical and will probably void your warranty, but might be worth the try.
