In General. Nikon Coolpix cameras TURN ON when you change them. This means when you plug in USB with a computer the camera turns on and the computer sees it. If you turn the camera ON. And the Battery indicator shows "FULL CHARGE" you may NOT be able to charge it. To eliminate variables. Do not charge with the computer until you charge with the adapter (wall charger). When the wall charger works then try the computer. Look at page 145 in your manual for Computer charging. Make sure your date and time are set in the camera. Make sure it NEEDS a charge.

Having tried various cards it should be clear by now that the issue is with your camera electronics. Unless it is a very expensive camera repair is not cost effective and you may have to go shopping.

See if there is a way to check out the power button. If the contacts are stuck in on position or unstable it is possible that the unit is behaving erratically. Try cleaning it out chemically if possible.
