Anyone have problems with it not turning on? Batteries are new.

Yes! I purchased this camera for a five day kayak trip I was taking and before I left I put new batteries. Camera was pulled out for pictures and batteries were dead. Not too happy with this purchase. Pictures were ok and battery life terrible. Thank goodness one of our other campers had extra batteries.

We bought one for our son about 2 months ago and have not had any problems with it to date. It's been in the pool and has worked perfect every time.

I had a problem with it not staying on and found out that you have to have really expensive batteries in it to work well. Maybe if you haven't done so already is to upgrade your batteries to lithium batteries or rechargeable nicads. And make sure they're in properly because the + and - indicator signs or very small in the battery department. Hope that helps.

Try flipping them, the labels on the battery cover are telling you what should be touching it (+,-) not what the nodes are.

Sounds like you got a bad battery. Mine goes on for about 2 hours. 20 minutes is unacceptable. As for a new one

I guess I would change the battery, I had to change mind before it would work right out of the box. Good luck!

We didn't have to do anything special to turn it on. Did you charge the batteries all the way before putting them in? Sometimes a low charge can make electronics a little wonky. Other than that my only suggestion would be turn it off, remove the battery, reinstall it and turn it back on to see if it resets.

Ok as soon as I said I had no problems with mine. The battery isn't charging.

Hi Deana, yes there is always the possibility that it might be broken, but just in case it's not, try new batteries first. If it still doesn't work, then send it back and get a new one.

I've had no problems with mine, make sure you read the instructions correctly, install new batteries, etc.

They most likely sent you a faulty one. I received one that didn't turn on as well. I contacted the seller immediately and they sent me a working one.

did you check that the batteries are in right? Maybe it's a defective one? If you recently got it, you could get a new one

I agree. Send it back. Mine has been perfect. Changed the battery once and it works great.

I am having the same problem, even brought a new battery and it still does not come on. Warranty is up, so what can I do.

Same Here Patricia. We just got ours last week and we let it sit for hours then turned it on and nothing!! It won't get cold, won't turn on and if it does have a light...it's not working either. I'm sending it back. Good luck with yours.

So far mine is working fine. Had to change batteries after about a year, but that is expected.
