| If your camera won't turn on, the battery charger may not be working properly. The battery charger has a light that will turn on when the battery has been placed inside and the unit plugged in. This light will change from red to green when the battery is fully charged. Be sure that the charger cable is inserted correctly in the power source. If the light remains off when the charger is plugged in, the charger may need to be replaced. See the additional links on the device page for more information on purchasing a new charger. | |

| If your buttons aren't working, it may be from extensive use. Buttons can wear and crack over time. You may find that getting a button to work requires you to press significantly harder than you needed to when the camera was new (or when it was refurbished if you bought a used camera). If getting a particular button to work is difficult or impossible, look at the buttons closely to see what condition they are in. First, be sure that none of the buttons are loose, cracked, or broken. See button repair guide [guide|4597|here]. | |
