Just finished charging the battery of my Panasonic DMC-LX2. Attempted to turn on my camera but it doesn't work. The battery is completely charged and this has never happened before.

Your batteries are no good! Digital cameras need a good amount of current to operate and when they are not fed properly they will just shut down!

Hi! we bought two brand new battery's on eBay for less then $10bucks + free shipping! might want to poke around eBay?

All batteries will eventually fail to hold a charge. The battery chemistry and how you charge it can change how long the battery will last. The DMC-FS4 has a Lithium-ion battery so it shouldn't have as much of the memory issue of older rechargeable batteries. (This is the "you routinely recharge the battery when it's at 50% then it always stops working at 50% charge" problem.)

How old is your battery? Eventually you will need a new battery but the time to replacement will depend on the number of recharge cycles. With a Li-ion battery, I'd expect several thousand recharges before failure. Temperature and usage will effect this. The battery does lose charge even when not used.

Be careful, some versions of the firmware look for Panasonic's specific batteries or a "that match the Panasonic rigorous specs".

I've seen a few devices where the charger failed before the battery. If a new battery doesn't seem to be charging, replace the charger. I hope this helps.

Hello I got one with broken lens (grinding cogs) : otherwise P'fect could we organise something ?Pete Cooper.

I have the same problem. When I try to charge a battery the green LED onthe charger flashes green and the battery does not charge. Any ideas?

Some Panasonic cameras only work with Panasonic batteries...part of Panasonic's plan to dominate the world! Is your replacement battery an off-brand?

u could go to best buy but it might be cheaper to buy a new camera

Check your batteries, but otherwise it could be a power board. It could cost between $90 - $125 to replace the board
