I have just had a phone call from my son, who has a 350D.
He said that it will no longer power up, everything dead.
Has anybody else on here had the same problem,
Or can give him any ideas.
Thank in advance.
 
Most obvious thing is that the battery is fubared!!

Only thing to try, is another battery, and see if that solves the problem.

Could also be the camera/battery contacts are contaminated. A small piece of grit can stop the contacts pairing.
 
I agree that a dead battery is the most likely culprit. Try a new and fully charged battery and check the battery contacts.

If the battery itself is not the problem, remove both batteries from the camera. Your manual should describe how to remove both the NB-2LH battery and the back-up battery used to power the calendar etc.

Leave the camera sit for a half-hour or so and then replace both batteries,

Then after sacrificing a virgin (if one is readily available) to the Canon Gods; turn on the camera. By the way, crossing one's fingers often does as well as sacrificing a virgin.
