Any suggestions?

take out battery, then replace.... ? headbuttin the LCD?

my g1 did the same thing a few weeks ago. someone told me it was the fuse that blows?
not sure if the g6 has the same problem. for canon's sake, i hope it doesn't.
good luck with your camera. seems like there have been DEAD problems with every single G camera that's out there. but not with the other models, if a company puts out 6 versions of one type of camera g1-g6 and the same problems are still existing, that's really sad on their part as a major manufacturer of cameras.

Took the battery out, charged it, put it back in, and ......

camera turned on. all seems well.

Maybe time to get a backup battery......
