I got my camera about a year and a half ago and hadn't used it in about 5 months. Now it won't turn on, I've plugged the camera in and also tried using a battery charger, which says that the battery has a full charge. I would like to be able to use my camera, please help.
Replace the battery.
SOURCE: Wont turn on but light is blinking
Are there any error messages on the LCD display?
Will the camera lens stay out when the camera is turned on?
Can you still take a photo/flash/sound without seeing the photo?
If the camera will not turn on even with a fresh set of batteries it could have a system or lens error in the camera.
a possible lens jamb when closed and the green led on top comes on then shuts off after the lens attemps to extend but cant.

Consider NOT connecting your camera to your computer.
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.

Try the following:
- Remove and insert the battery (to reset)
- Start your coolpix
- During a few seconds, it shoud start... before saying the battery is low. Quickly connect it to a computer during that time (quite short !)
The problem occurs when the "charge by computer" option is activated (see user manual item #173 / page 161).
If the light flashes again, do not press the on/off button: instead, wait for the battery to get charged (otherwise everything will get stopped - and you will have to play again).
When done, check the "charge by computer" option (and fix it if misconfigured).
