I had a situation where, with known good batteries, the camera would act like it wanted to turn on and I would get the welcome cheep... but that was all. Only by opening battery door and re closing could I even get that much again. It turned out to be a faulty SD card. I pulled the SD memory card out, and presto, it came back to life. I would rather buy a new SD card than a camera!
