I’ve attempted various approaches with no success, but your suggestions have revived my 40D! Thank you so much.

Update: The dummy battery was delivered today. I tried turning on the camera before using the dummy battery and it cut on and off as it should. I feel confident the dummy battery resolve would have worked too . I am holding onto the battery just in case. For anyone who’s wondering I used the camera for content vlogging yesterday. I was able to press the play button which allowed the camera to cut on after the battery was removed and reinserted. I turned on the auto off function to save on battery life. The camera was bought to vlog and as a lighter option to my fuji flim cameras. The canon was purchased refurbished from Canon at a great price so I didn’t want to return it as anything similar was twice in cost. Great vid and Thank U! I now have a better streaming option using the dummy battery. With the help of this vid and a Crafters youtube video that suggested the dummy battery as a reset option and reinserting the real battery after plugging in the dummy.

Worked like a charm. You have no idea the trouble and money this video saved me!!!

It’s the “alien implants” that discombobulates the battery operated boyfriend. She should investigate getting a Japanese manufactured robot boyfriend. They are anatomically correct and I’m sure there is a good variety to choose from. Unfortunately, the robots can’t pay advanced prenuptial alimony. Carolyn needs to stop volunteering to be abducted. She loves the “probes”.

Worked for me. Thank you soo much!!!

Omg since last year my camera wouldn’t work, I was so disheartened. I tried the power on with the battery in and out and it worked. Thank you so much 🥰

SX70 HS got purple lines than wont turn on anymore, brand new bought it today working fine until i tried to connect to wifi

Thank you so much I needed this

I like this stuff. Sometimes a crazy idea will fix something. It`s like Scotty on Star Trek.

I have a canon SX50HS and I love it. However, it fell, (not hard) but now it struggles to go on and goes off by itself. Do you have any suggestions? I just watched your video and you seem to really know about canon cameras. Can you help me? I can get it to go on but then it will turn off whenever it want to. HELP!

Thank you for the quick tip , was stuck my camera for few weeks not starting

I have an SX40, but I don't use it very often. Mostly I just use my smartphone. While on hikes sometimes I wish I had it with me, but it's a little heavy and so I leave it behind.

When it craps out and it won't start, perhaps my video will help get it going. I priced out a new comparable replacement, and they are now very expensive. Hopefully, you get many years out of your camera.

I have some nice cameras laying around I don’t use anymore since the iPhone came out.

I just got a brand new power shot sx70hs. I thought I was going to have to return my camera. Finally my camera works again. All this just bc I charged my battery.

I have two Canon Cameras Power Shot G7X Mark II purchased 2017 M50 purchased 2018 They still power on. Between both cameras, I have made hundreds of videos and still shots.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

i have a Canon PowerShot A530 and putted all the batteries in even a brand new battery but it doesn't turn on whatever i try do you know the problem with it?

Hello. Thank you this process worked to power on but my camera doesn’t power off either. any suggestions or is auto power option built into the camera the only option? i purchased a m200 from canon usa website and got it 1/2/24 it worked fine the three times i turned it on and randomly today it turned off. i paid $250 and can still return it but like you a used one is higher in cost.

Just remove the battery to power it off if that's your only option that works.

@@Linescrew1Canada I did that and I set up the auto off after 30 seconds function as well. I spoke to canon as it’s a recent refurb purchase. They offered for me to send it in for repair or return for refund. I received the notification that my dummy battery was delivered this morning. I went to see if the camera would self power on and off and guess what? It did! Problem solved. I will hold on to the dummy battery just in case.

I see what your problem is--you have a CANON. Cheers!

The Nikon vs. Canon thing is like Coke vs. Pepsi. My thoughts: I think Nikon is probably a tiny bit better for still photography. I have seen many of the digital processors on both and I think the Nikon portrays the green a little nicer than Canon. BUT, I think Canon shows the blue colour (see how we spell color here LOL) a little more vividly than Nikon's blue. But this is just subjective and I mostly use Canon products for video and not still photography. And in the end, you can digitally process the end result any way that you want with software. So probably a push on the Canon vs Nikon thing.

People would ask me what camera was best and I would answer with "What is the best car?". Both Nikon and Canon made the best 35mm SLR cameras. A good friend had a pair of Nikon F2s and I followed his lead. Color was determined by the film you used. (I miss Kodachrome.) I need to research the digital cameras, as I cannot afford a top-of-the-line body like the F5 I have. Thanks for the color insight.

That worked. But my battery charges to 4.11 Volts when the original is 3.7 volts. So maybe .4 volts is enough to detect the overcharge.

Not working:(
