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.

I have a Canon, and didn't have a problem. Maybe try googling your problem, someone probably has a solution already out there.

Good morning,Sorry it took so long to respond; I have been on vacation. I hope that your problem was resolved. I tried my unit for the first time yesterday; and the main problem that I had was making sure to push down the button down on the transmitter and hold it there for several seconds in order for it to operate. Also where to place the receiver on the camera hot shoe in order to receive the single; had the receiver facing backwards so that it would operate. Als make sure the batteries are in correctly. Bottom line, you get what you pay for. Good luck and have a great week. Jeff

what I recommend is the following, send it to the canon factory because even if the warranty expired they can fix it and charge you. When they get you the estimate refuse to get it repair and ask them to send it back to you...the best that could happen is that they get it fixed without knowing like they did with mine.Didn't have to pay one penny.

I agree with JR, check/swap your wiring/power supply. If it still doesn't work send it back. Quality control on this camera is not good, Ordered 2, one was bad right out of the box.

I am sorry friend but mine is still working fine. Make sure there is not connection problem in the camera itself. If you are lucky Sony may have a replacement LCD. They bought it from someone else. I am sure it is a separate part; unless they are like Cannon which does not repair or have parts for their cameras anymore.

I am having this same problem on my SD1000, for the 2nd time! This originally occured when the camera was about 9 months old so I was able to get Canon to repair it under warranty. The repair lasted about 6 months and now I'm having the same problem again but this time I'm out of the warranty. Canon has been of little help, they offer generic responses about how much Canon cares about customers and then offer to sell you a refurbished camera. I was a long time fan of Canon cameras but this has turned me off to them and I would not recommend this camera.

The card may be corrupt. Does it work in another device? If it does, format the card in the device it works in and try the card again in the Canon. If it still does not work then I am not sure why it is giving you an error. Ensure the camera is off and unplugged when you insert the card too, just to be safe. Good luck!

There's a power switch around the shutter button. Turn it on and it should work.

Sorry... Try taking out camera AA batteries and using fresh, new ones.If it doesn't work, get a new SDHC memory card of a well-known maker (Sandisk or similar).If nothing of the above works on restarting your camera, you'll have to send your camera to Canon Authorized Service shop... Sorry.

The best I can tell you is to double (triple) check that the batteries are fully charged and inserted properly (which you say they are). Take it to a camera store nearby; check the phone book, and they should be more than happy to help you. If the camera was sent to you defective, you'll be eligible for a refund. Whoever sold it to you will swap it, or you can call Canon - they have great customer service.

The one I bought in February for my daughters birthday is having the same problem. It will not turn on at all. Sent an email to Kodak today to see if they have a resolution. The thing is only 6 months old and she has used it only a handful of times. Quite frustrating, as she wanted to use it on our vacation.

Mine is broken. The very first time I tried the display on LCD screen is malfunction. I got broken letters. The Canon T3i appears dead (no power) when attaching the device. I still have the unit because I miss the window for return by Amazon policy. Don't know what to do with this product :-(

Which SD card are you using, as it turns out we could not use ours either very well. I cannot remember how we got it to finally print, but we have purchased another picture printer as this one was slow and basically useless to us. Sorry for the bad news.
