It seems that the batteries are dead [ can't be recharged anymore ] . You need to replace them with new batteries . If you are sure that the batteries are fine , then you may check the base where the batteries set . Maybe it's rusty or some isolation stuff on it . If it's clean , then I recommend you to get your Cam to the service .
Usually you can't hear the loose screws in these when they fall out and short out the camera, although many people will say you can. When you have no power on a G7 or a G9, it is most always that loose screw problem. The screws inside should be corrected at the time of the repair so the problem doesn't happen again later. The site that is great for help with the Canon Powershot Camera problems is: www.camerasandparts.com They are great with these and that is all they specialize in. I would see if they can help, they're amazing if you need a hand with the Powershots, plus they do that no power correction on all G7 and G9's they service which I like. Good luck with it
