clean the post on battery and contacts, make sure you have a tight fit with the batteryif just a little lose fit will shut it down

You have to purchase new batteries from the photo shop section in any store.

I do not know. but check to make sure that the battery contacts are clean and bent down so that the battery posts are tight to the contacts

This happened to us too. Warranty is only good for a year. But unplugging the camera and plugging it back in seem to fix the issue for us.

I would at least contact the vendor. If no help, then the joby people. Maybe there is a defect. Be sure to check your camera's fitting, maybe it's stripped.

yes i have the same problem, one time i just replaced new batteries and took 2-3 pics and then set it for a flash pic and the camera went down saying "change the bateteries"Not sure if this piece has a problem or if there is some issue with all S2s

The Camera was a gift to my daughter. We have never had it serviced. However, as the service warrenty is through Amazon I feel they should be able to answer this question or at least put you in touch with someone who can. Sorry, this is all I can help you with

You can purchase new batteries from Lawmate by going to their website and can also find authorized dealers there. I found spare batteries on Ebay. I rarely use the extra battery though. Also I recommend placing a small strip of black electric tape along to bottom of the device to cover the bright little LED lights that show when you are recording. They are just too bright.

Try a new battery. Mine has worked fine. Be sure camera is set on remote connection so the remote and camera "see" each other.

I am having exactly the same problem, taking the battery out for 30 minutes works for a time but the problem starts again after a few days. Leaving the battery out until required sometimes makes the camera difficult to switch on or off. I don't think that Creative are interested. If anyone has the answer please let us know.

Check the battery first, then try Eids electronics in Berkeley or CCRadio in Fortuna, Ca. I think they both have websites.

I had the same issue with a Canon Powershot SD780 IS Digital Elph. Just wanted to say this helped me a lot reading these comments. It just refused to power on one day out of the blue. A month later and 2 years out of warranty and with no options other than to cough up a bunch of money for a repair or new camera I decided to get risky and see what I could do myself. In the battery compartment, just to the left side of the battery a small plastic tab from the battery door fits into a slot when you close the door. The tab wasn't broken so I took an x-acto knife and poked at the piece in the camera body I assume the plastic tab was supposed to be hitting. Maybe the part was gunked up or sticking or something. I have no idea. But the camera was able to turn on after that and seems perfectly fine now.

Dear Karen:Thank you for your reply. I have also contacted Canon. They were going to send me to the nearest service center, until I told them about your feedback with the same problem. Thanks for your help. I have received my refurbished replacement. I hope this one will stay function. Jeannette

If dormant (blackout) I bump on/off button to make the display light and then, after it wakes up, hold down the on/off button for a few seconds n it turns off.Love the camera's. Think memory card should be in for this.

It appears the problem is not with discharge, but with the software that tells you the battery is discharged, and then shuts the camera off automatically. The battery is actually fine. Problem is, Canon says the issue requires a firmware upgrade for certain serial numbers, not others. So I have a camera with a serial number that supposed does not require an upgrade, but it still has the problem. So now I have to deal with customer support and that whole thing. Not something I'm eager to do on a brand new product.

You probably have a bad battery. Same thing happened to me. I ordered two new batteries. Charged them and the Camera works perfect. If you purchased this item refurbished contact the seller and Amazon and have them refund the cost of the new purchased batteries. They refunded the cost for me.

Yeah, I found leaving the battery out for 30 minutes helped as the problem didn't comeback until I unplugged it from recharging it. Sucks, I really like the camera.

If you have not purchased this camera yet I would advise not to do this. It has been servicing for 1 week. As other customer wrote, after batteries discharged and were replaced with new ones the camera didn't switch on and doesn't react on any action. My request to the shop remained unanswered. Regards

Ours did the same thing. I called the service Department. They were great. Diagnosed the problem, that the battery was bad, right on the phone. Bought a new battery, on Amazon, of course. Sure enough. the machine works great again.
