[Reader-users] Fw: Can't get the camera to turn on

[W. Nick Dotson]

1.  Make sure camera battery is charged, properly seated, and camera battery cover properly locked down.

2.  Make sure USB stub on backplate is firmly connected to camera, upper right corner of side of camera on nearside of camera opposite lense side).  One 
other thing to check, is slide switch on backside of camera opposite lense, on the lower left quadrant, slid down toward bottom of camera as it sits in case?

3.  Bring up system, and press "soft reset" (the felt textured circle) on the the bottom of the PDA, on the left side when in shooting position.  Try turning on 
camera after system reinitializes.
