All of a sudden my 30D won't start

I went out and shot some pictures two nights ago, today the camera won't turn on, the red CF lamp won't flicker when I open the door..I tried it with just 1 BP-511 or the grip and both don't work.

the batteries are fully charges.

the camera is my only body, 8 months old less than 10k pics.

I took out the spare battery in the charger and it looked fine, the hinge that closes when I closes the batter door seems to be ok.

Why would it just not turn on

this is a bad bad timing. No back up body and two trips comming up. in the next 3 weeks. Sending it in will likely take months for a response.

I really don't have the money to spend on another body right now not that I would want to spend money on another 30D or a 20D and I can't get a 40d yet it will probably October when they are available in Canada.

Talk about bad luck.

anyone have any ideas at all?

Pulled the battery and back-up battery and let the camera sit a while? Checked that both the battery door switch and CF door are shut firmly and their switches aren't broken?

This has just happened with my 10D, so any advice on what the problem could be would be great aswell ?

Tried what I suggested above?

Thats because as soon at the newer model comes out the older one quit working. HA!

LOL JBF funny enough the same thought crossed my mine.

I find my problem. it's a strange one but both batteries are finished.

Strange that they would both die at the same time, on the charger they both show as charged but when I tried them individually they both did nto work.

I put two new batteries that I bought they worked.

Whew

That's exactly what I thought when I saw the title of this thread. Sounds like it's time to go buy the 40D.

Thats what happens when i charge mine, it says fully charged but still dont work, and the when i put back on the charger it says thay need fully charging again

Could i have the same problem do you think ?

It's either the batteries or the charger, bring the camera to a shop and try itwith another battery.

Easy enough to find out. What does your voltmeter read?
