S9600 (I Think) Has internal memory as S6500 does so it does not need a memory card. just make sure the door is shut
I've never had any trouble with my S9600 & no, it does not have internal memory like the S6500, but should it should still power up, even without a memory card inserted. This sounds like it could be a major failure of the camera's electronics or it could be something relatively simple.
Well I have emailed Fuji, just waiting for a reply now.

have you tried cleaning the contacts for the batteries with a cotton bud
No, not yet.

That's the quickest way of ****ing up any electrical object. The magnets wipe the software/electronic boards. Thus, resulting in the camera not switching on properly

hock: Gizmogle actually agreed with meShocking isn't it.
Maybe you were actually right for once?
Actually, what kind of memory card are you using in it? Is it a good brand?
If your memory card has died, then that will stop the camera turning on. Have you got a spare card to try?

I have 4, none work...
Also no magnets were placed near the camera.

lol, he only got it recently IIRC. I'm assuming that it was a brand new one, so it should still be in the warranty

I should buy some more warranty for me camera when the origional runs out, or I'll just buy some when I find out if warranty comes with it.

Have you tried posting in a professional camera forum?
First thing I would do though, before trying to get it repaired, is to clean everything possible on the camera. Use cotton buds and maybe (I heard it was a good idea, but please correct me if I'm wrong...) the tiniest bit of alcohol. Presumably the 100% stuff.

Cl. 313,
How old is the camera? I.E. is it still under warrenty? When I purchased my S5600 after only a 2 weeks I had a fault where it wouldn't turn itself off. The only way of turning it off was to open the battery cover to break the connections. This happened after a rather heavy downpour of rain when I was out photting one Sunday morning.
Took it back to the shop where I purchased it and within 5 working days I had a replacement camera from Fuji. Great customer service!

I don't think it is under warranty but I have emailed Fuji at their tech address which I have been told is a much better way than just going through their repair steps via their website.

I have noticed with the S9600 that the Off/View/Photo switch on the top is very dodgy at times, and sometimes does not switch the camera on when you want it to.
You should have made sure there was:
Tried plugging it into the TV via the A/V out and seeing if it works that way?
And Mparsonz, there is absolutely no point in buying guarantees, warranties or anything for something unless it is stupidly expensive, as generally it wont break until they run out, and you waste alot of money. Most often its cheaper just to by an upgrade.
You should have made sure there was:
- Nothing stuck on the microswitch that stops the camera operating when the card slot door is open
- You havent dropped it
- There is a good contact between all batteries on the bottom battery cover
- Your not blind
- You didn't drop it in the pond
- You haven't somehow put it near an EMP emitting device
- You have working batteries
