I am a snow bird with a Nikon Coolpix VR , no manual, recharged the battery on my laptop. Green light stays on but camera won't turn on. Ideas?

Sorry, I always charge mine from the wall outlet. You should be able to find a manual on the Internet as the camera I purchased only came with a quick start manual.

http://www.nikonusa.com/en/About-Nikon/Search.page Try this link to download the manual. Disconnect the cable from the camera and computer. Try turning on and off again. Make sure you see a full charge on the battery icon display screen. If battery is not holding a charge, then you may have to purchase a new one.

if under warranty; return camera! If old battteries u may need to replace them! I assume you have been following the charging instructions.

The only surprise here is that the camera ever worked at all. Mine was D.O.A. out of the package. You might try leaving the batteries out for ten minutes, and then try again. If there is a default / reset button, try that too.

My green light would not turn in after i charged it. I called the company and they were very responsive-sent me a new one. You can find the user manual on line!

Take out the battery and reinsert. If it still won't work use a fresh recharged one. If it still doesn't work you need to call them and probably need to have it repaired.

Did you plug in the little cord from the battery pack to the camera? Also if you purchased it from Big mikes through amazon they are great to work with. Just call them if that doesn't work.

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.

Mine worked until I recharged it. Then the camera said it wasn't compatible and won't let me use it anymore. I literally had to toss it out. -.-

DO you have other cameras and are they operating alright? Naturally check all the connections both at the camera and the recorder. Also look for any nicks or cuts at the exposed wires. I experienced a problem once when all the cameras stopped working and it turned out it was the power adapter that went out. I replaced this item and it worked just fine after that. This is a good camera for the money. I have two of these and they have been working for just over a year. I'm even thinking of replacing the other two cameras with one of these so please let me know how this turns out. Good luck

Several possibilities; are you using a genuine Nikon battery or a third party battery? Do not leave the power of the MB-D14 on when not in use; the connection between the battery and the power pack may need cleaning: use DENATURED alcohol to clean all connections on battery, power pack as well as the camera. If all that fails contact Nikon directly: they may have some other suggestions. Good luck!

if you take the battery pack out then plug into your computer boot up the camera it say "connected" then just insert the battery pack and itll charge. when it has very low battery do this.

Take battery out charge even though it's fully charged but charge again for a few minutes then put battery back in and that should fix the problem. It shouldn't happen again that's what happened the first time I used my camera

When the camera is connected to a computer, it is recognized on both sides as an external storage device.When the camera is hooked to a (3rd party?) USB charger it is probably doing auto-shut down, etc and no longer recieving a charge-that would be my guess. I think it is possible to turn off the auto shut down/power save feature, it's worth a try

All I can think of is you might need to try "rebooting". There is a tiny hole in the bottom of the camera (inside the place where you would screw in a tripod). Try sticking a paper clip in the tiny hole a push for about 5-10 seconds. Mine has frozen before and that resets it. Do that, then try hooking it back up to your computer.

Check the battery, and then check the audio settings on the camera. I have the same camera and the mic works great.

Try plugging cable into your camera's flash unit while the flash unit it also turned on, and see if indicator light then comes on.
