Samsung s 73 camera has new batterys and won't power on

If thelaptop battery is more than 3 - 4 years old then the battery could be worn out.Rechargeable batteries have a finite number of charge and discharge cycles andwill lose their charge capacity over time, i.e. won't charge to 100% and graduallythe charge reduces until the battery won't charge up at all. OR The batteryshows a 100% charge but when the adapter is disconnected the battery drops offto zero capacity in a very short time. If the battery drops to an unacceptablecharge level then the battery needs to be replaced.

You need to get fresh batteries in hope it will power on.

Hi! did you get any answer on this problem? I have the same. thx

Things to check first for a camera that won't turn on (no power, no lights, no noise, nothing) are battery contact points, and micro switches that are located on the battery and memory card doors. Troubleshooting tips on other things that need to be checked may be seen here. These tips won't work for every case, but they're worth a try.

But if there is some electrical activity, then you're more likely experiencing a lens error. In that case, see this article.
and this video:

Suspect dirty battery terminals that may need to be cleaned, or bent upwards, to improve contact with the batteries. Troubleshooting tips for this problem may be seen here.

You have to charge the batteries for nearly 8-10 hours. Brand new batteries also require a full recharge of 8-10 hours.Not only making sure the batteries are charged, have you changed the battery in the menu under type of batteries.

Buy EN-MH2-B4/MH-73 Kit (4 Rechargeable Batteries + Charger)

Time for a new camera as this will be more expensive to fix than its worth.
had a quick look on ebay and they are about $80 new so shout yourself an upgrade.
I bought a Samsung camera like this for $5 for parts last year and spent more than 2 hours fixing another 1.
Bought myself a Sony cybershot w830 20mp 8x zoom camera for $150 and its brilliant.

That sounds like your battery could be dead/not hold a charge. If you've charged your battery already and your camera still won't stay off and turns off right away, it's time to purchase a new battery for your Samsung TL105.

You can purchase replacement batteries quite cheap here:

And here is the solution... Eureka - we have found a cure. Internal memory of 16MB is shot. Buy a memory stick, insert and voila.... The camera is back too life. And apologies to Samsung....This is really an extrodinary little camera.
