If your Canon camera won’t turn on, there might be a few things you can check. First, make sure that the battery is fully charged and that the camera is turned on. If the camera is plugged in to an outlet, make sure the outlet is working by testing it with another device. Next, try pressing the power button once and then again to see if the camera turns on. If the camera still won’t turn on, you might need to take it to a service center.

Troubleshooting a Canon Camera That Won’t Turn On
When your Canon camera won’t turn on, it could be due to a number of different reasons. Here’s a breakdown of the most common reasons your camera might not be turning on, and some troubleshooting tips that may help.
1. Dead Battery: If your Canon camera won’t turn on even when batteries are fully charged, it’s likely that the battery is dead. Try replacing the batteries.
2. Bad Cable: If your Canon camera won’t turn on when connected to the power cord, check to see if the cable is connected properly. If it’s not, try replacing the cable.
3. Dirty Lens: If your Canon camera won’t turn on when the lens is dirty, try cleaning the lens using a cloth and lens cleaner.
4. Defective Camera: If your Canon camera won’t turn on even when it’s been checked for a defect, it may be time to buy a new camera.
Checking the Battery
One potential issue with your Canon camera is that the battery is not fully charged. To check if this is the case, follow these steps:
1. Open the camera’s battery cover and remove the battery.
2. Measure the voltage of the battery with a voltmeter.
3. Replace the battery and close the battery cover.
4. Press the power button to turn on the camera.
If the voltage measured in step 2 is below 3.5 volts, the battery may not be charging and should be replaced. If the voltage measured in step 2 is above 5 volts, the battery is probably fully charged and can be used.
Checking the Battery Connection
If your camera won’t turn on at all, then it’s probably because the battery is dead. To check if your battery is dead, plug your camera into a power source and see if it turns on. If it doesn’t, then your battery is definitely dead. You can try to recharge your battery, but if that doesn’t work then you’ll need to buy a new battery.
There are a few things you can check to determine if your camera will not turn on. The first is to make sure the batteries are fully charged. If the batteries are fully charged, then the camera might just need to be reset. To reset the camera, first turn it off and then on by pressing and holding down the power button for about 10 seconds. After it turns on, you will need to press the shutter release button halfway to take a picture. Then release the shutter button and hold it down until the camera turns off. After doing this, you should be able to turn the camera on by pressing the power button. If the camera still will not turn on, then you will need to take it to a service center.
Another possible cause of a camera not turning on could be a problem with the cord. Make sure the cord is fully plugged into the camera and the other end is plugged into an outlet. If the camera still does not turn on, it might be best to have the cord replaced.
If you have tried all of the above and your camera still will not turn on, then it is likely that there is a problem with the camera.
Checking the Camera’s Memory Card
There are a few things you can do if your camera will not turn on. First, check to see if the battery is charged. If it is not, charge the battery and try turning on the camera again. If the camera still will not turn on, check to see if the memory card is installed properly. Make sure the card is fully inserted into the camera and that the contacts on the card are properly aligned. If the card still will not turn on, the card may be defective and should be replaced.
Resetting the Camera
Assuming that the camera is not receiving power from the battery (which is most likely the case if it has not been used for a while), the first thing that must be done is to reset the camera. This can be done by pressing and holding the power button for about 5 seconds until the camera powers off and then turning it back on. Once the camera has turned on, release the power button and wait for the lens to extend. Then press the shutter button halfway and wait until the green light turns on. Keep holding the shutter button until the camera goes off, then release it. Finally, press the power button on the camera one more time to finish the reset.
Conclusion
Some canon cameras will not turn on even if the power is turned on. There could be a problem with the battery, the power cord, or the camera itself. If the camera will not turn on, try using a different power cord and battery. If that does not work, the problem may be with the camera. If the camera still will not turn on, it may be time to consider buying a new camera.
