My canon powershot sx10 stoped working suddenly. I tried with new set of batteries but even then it is not switching on... can you help me troubleshoot this issue.?

You will need the LED screen to see the settings. Any LED screen can be used that is the same size and connections.

The Time/Date battery is a small round lithium battery the size of a dime in the battery compartment. You can get the numbers off it and buy one at Walmart or Ebay.

Try resetting the Canon by removing the battery for 10 mins then insert the battery and set the Date and Time.

HI..

The possibilities to consider for this kind of problem are quite a number

the bateries you are using might be defective, so you can get a new set of bateries with the voltage and wattage or charge the old one appropriately..

the contact for the battery could be the problem if there is rust in it. this would need cleaning..

the power switch of the camera might also be faulty, this would require you to take the camera to a repairer.. if you got warranty on it you can consider using it or look for a good engineer around you to fix it..

i hope this information will help you

Maybe you can find this in the owner's manual of your Canon Powershot.

May I suggest going to the Canon website, follow menu options Support and Downloads and look for a firmware upgrade.

Camera seems not charging to turn on. You said New batteries. Did you try with other set of batteries ?

I don't this its an error. I have used this Canon SX10 IS Camera for nearly a year now I haven't had this kind of problem.

Usually auto focus take few seconds to focus on object depending on distance and lighting. That might be the problem ?

this unit take AA right ok now it is funny that some AA do not work in canon camera. the best batteries for it are funny but they are the cheap batteries from dollar general the blue and yellow batteries. work great. the black and yellow wont work.

Try the reset of settings to the factory settings.

Best regards,
