My camera won't turn on!

[HardyGirl]

I dunno what happened! The batteries are fine, it hasn't been dropped, but it will only turn on occasionally, but it doesn't wanna turn on! I knew I wasn't meant for this kind of technology!

Pull the battery out and wipe off the terminals then reinstall.

they do eat batteries pretty quick,maybe try new ones.

Crazy camera! Now it's working. I've taking 4 pics since I got it for Christmas. I don't know what that was about.

Did you keep the box and everything that it came in.I know it was a gift,but it might need to go back to the store.Hate to see you stuck with one thats going to be a lemon.

It was sent from Maine. And it's acting weird again. It was fine Christmas Day.

Maybe it's too cold in your house?

ask them what store it came from and if there is one near you I'ld exchange it.

What does that have to do w/ anything? Anyway, the heat has been on most of the day.

Sometimes batteries don't work well in the cold. Or maybe the batteries are suspect.

ok what kind of camera? and does it take normal batteries or is it a specal pre fit that you need to recharge?

if they are standard size did they come with the camera or did you buy them? sometimes digital cameras will drain batteries even when the camera is off, sounds like the issue is with the batteries and not the camera ... if it works then doesn't ... very classic issue with batteries.

but for sure find all the boxes and paper work. just in case

Well, my friend has the same kind, and she said that rechargable batteries fried 2 cameras. I think I'll try lithiums; she said that would probably work. If not, I'm done w/ it.

Not related to this but sometimes I have to take out my memory card and pop it back in or else the camera wont work.
