Fuji S9600 wont turn on

[class 313]

Hello,

To my horror, I have found out my S9600 wont turn on! Took the camera off the top of my PC went to turn it on but nothing. So I thought a change of batteries might help. But nothing. This is rather crap as I just replaced my S5500 with it due to faults. The fact it was working a few hours before hand makes this an odd yet frustrating case!

The fuji site says it will cost me £90 to fix, I don't want to be doing this but I might have to!

Any ideas!?

Thanks in advance.

Sounds stupid but are you sure the memory card flap isn't open? If you open that on my S6500 it refuses to turn on.

Otherwise... gutted!

I'm thinking there must be some simple solution to this. Hmm.

Same!

I've tried everything, Battery swap, plugging the USB cable in, opening and closing the xD card door cover.

This is all rather crappy tbh

Not rateable one little bit, you still got your old cam for emergencies?

Not really useable.

Would having it on top of ya PC have anything to do with it.

Trying turning the batteries around? Often had that problem on my E550 (or whatever it used to be)

What do you mean?

 

[devon_metro]

SWapping them and just removing them

 

[richa2002]

Yeah, definitely try another set of batteries if possible.

what was the last thing you did before putting it away , that normally gives some idea as to the fault,

Put it on my PC as I always do.

And I have swapped the batteries and no go.

Has it been in the rain or had contact with alot of water?

None at all.

Effectively its just died on me with no reason with it

Has the camera come into anything magnetic recently? it could be that

Nope, don't see why that would do anything to it...

Water shouldn't be a problem, my 6500 has been drenched a number of times and still works.

It would after a while, cameras are only waterproof up to a certain extent.

My E500 wouldn't switch on after it took a Lancashire monsoon (it really was), but drying it off at room temperature did the trick.

Is there a memory card in it? My one doesnt turn on without a memory card.

Fair enough, but mine wasn't wet.

My S6500 did the same thing last month
The soloution, as daft as it sounds, which worked with mine was to take the memory card out, blow in it to remove dust, re-add the memory card, and turn it on, it somehow has worked perfectly since..

[JoshW1992]

Just make sure there is a memory card in there to begin with

 

[jacknottm]

S9600 (I Think) Has internal memory as S6500 does so it does not need a memory card. just make sure the door is shut

 

[JoshW1992]

Oh yeah! Perhaps when I last tried it, the door was open!

But like you said, it wouldn't need the memory card in, in the first place so that's a bit odd lol

And my memory card has been in all the time. Also changing and blowing into the slot has done nothing.

Make sure you have the batteries in the right way around? I am forever putting them in upside-down et al...
