JimAskew Cream of the Crop  More info | Sep 19, 2011 05:39 | #1 Help. My friend has a G10 that is two years old. It will not turn on. I have tried two separate fully charged batteries in it and nothing, nada! It just will not turn itself on! Any suggestions? Or is it time to have her upgrade to a G12? I suspect the Canon Service Center charge to look at this is at least half of the price of a new G12? Jim -- I keep the Leica D-Lux 7 in the Glove Box just in case!

Make sure you have a fully charged battery, and insert it again. Next, turn the camera on in Play mode. Of course 'no card', so turn it off and insert a Card. Again try the Play mode 'turn-on' first. See what happens from there. If that fails to change the situation, REMOVE the battery. Rotate the camera around various Axes -- listen closely for any rattle on internal noise. Some G10's have reported the same 'screw loose' problem that G7's and G9's have experienced. That is what the above company fixed for me. Satisfied customer with them... not so satisfied with Canon Service's response. Thanks, Carlo for the feedback...I have recommended this site to my friend.
