My Canon PowerShot A570 IS won't turn on. I put new batteries in and checked the memory card. What else can I do?

Open the card slot cover and push down gently on the edge of the card as if to push it further into the camera. The card will pop out a bit, allowing you to grasp it and pull it out all the way.

I would seek professional advice, there is recovery software out there that are very good, you have tried two, if there is any chance to recover more you need to talk to someone that is experienced in these matters. Best buys may be able to help and worth a try, a camera repair store would be another option.

Things to check first for a camera that won't turn on are battery contact points, and micro switches that are located on the battery and memory card doors. Troubleshooting tips on other things that need to be checked may be seen here. These tips won't work for every case, but they're worth a try.

Consider NOT connecting your camera to your computer.

The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries.

Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive, the same way you copy any other files. Or you can use any photo cataloging program.

There is a switch on the side of the memory card and is very tiny to find. Set it in the opposite direction - unlock.

SD cards have a slide switch along one edge. The position farthest from the contacts locks the card, protecting it from writes. The position nearest the contacts unlocks the card. If the switch is already in the proper position, slide it fully the other way and then back again.

I had the same problem. Here's the solution. Go into menu settings, then over to tools, select reset all at the bottom of options list. You may have to re-enter the date and time. This solved the low battery problem for me. I hope this helps.

Go into the camera menu and find "reset"...follow the on-screen instructions. Then, format the card in the camera.(download any pics first using a card reader if necessary).

get a new camera...this camera sucks...wasted tonnes of money on new rechargables...just didn't last long for more than 50 shots each battery change...after that, it couldn't turn on after connecting to DC input....just get a new camera and chunk this away....

I found out how to fix it. (STEP 1.) Take out all of the batteries. (STEP 2.) Hold down the power button for 30 seconds. (STEP 3.) Put the batteries back in and you should be all set.
