Hi!Welcome to Just Answer My name is XXXXXXX XXX I will be assisting you today to resolve or identify Your Problem.Please try another memory card and let me know the result.
i tried an xd card and a compact flash card . the camera still wil not come on. i even tried another fully charged battery. the camera is in pristine condition having only be used twice.
Unfortunately what you have described indicates that your problem seems to be with the main circuit board it is not getting the power supply properly may be the battery contacts are defective please check them if they are ok then repair the camera because the repairing is not possible at home.
1. Remove the battery and memory card from the camera. 2. Let the camera sit with the battery and memory card removed for approximately 20 minutes. 3. Clean your battery contacts with a clean cloth. 4. Reinstall the battery and power on the camera. If your camera still doesn't turn on, unfortunately, your camera will require service to correct the problem. I apologize for this inconvenience.
