Problem with 50D. PLEASE HELP!!!!

[SGPhoto]

Ok I am a little on the upset side

Granted I knew when I got this 50D from the Canon Loyalty upgrade program that it was a refurbished 50D with a 90 day warranty and I know I have not abused it or anything of that nature, heck it still looks "MINTY" but last night I was showing it to a friend of mine at work and it was working just fine, was showing him live view etc, even took a few photos with it.

I turned it off and as I was leaving work I was going to show it to another friend of mine, Turned the power on and NADA, NO POWER no NOTHING. So i figured hmm maybe live view drained the full battery (Not likely, But possible) as I have read that Live View can drain the battery.

Come home stick fresh battery in the camera, turn it on STILL NO POWER.

And believe me I will definitely RAISE CAIN when I call them on Monday, they can either ship me another REFURB or they can ship me a NEW one for the amount of money I paid for it.

Anyone got any other suggestions besides packing it up and shipping it back to Canon to have them fix it and get it back to me?? I have tried mounting all three lenses to the camera, cleaned the contacts and still NO POWER to the Camera.

Thanks,

Stephen Gibson

I assume you also checked the VF and top LCD?

But sometimes cameras just flip, and they need to be shipped back. But yes, raise cain indeed. QC isn't perfect but Refurb means they checked it again.

do you have a grip on the camera?

If you open the cf card door the camera will not power up, so make certain that is closed completely.

Check the clock battery as well.

Beyond that -- I got nothing
