The camera seems to charge the battery fine but when I press the power button nothing happens. I have also tested with a second battery and still nothing.
Could be the camera, but always first check the contacts from the battery and in the camera. Just to be sure nothing can block a free current. The contacts should be clean and shiny. Not a spec of dust is allowed in the battery holder. If you should need to clean the contacts, only use a dry cloth. Never use a sharp tool in or close to a camera. Then make sure you put in the battery the correct way. I don't know how strong you are, but sometimes people manage to put the battery in the wrong way around. Make sure the battery-camber / Memory card slot cover is closed correct. There is a little switch that indicates if the door is open or closed.
Almost impossible two batteries are dead at the same time. Unless you left them lying for a long time.
When you think everything must be right, just press the power switch several times in a row.
If nothing helps, I guess contact to a Nikon service station, or a new camera?

With the power off, hold the camera in your palm and smack the front of the camera on your leg or arm. You might have to smack it a few time to get it to work. It has to do with the camera CDD lense (shuttle) being stuck. By smacking it around, it will free up the lense. Being extra gentle with it though. It worked for me. Hope this help.

EDAWinc,
Is this a new or different style lens? You may not have it all the way on and aligned - try removing it again. Just remember to always turn off the camera before removing the lens or the SD card. Malfunctions are sure to follow if that happens. Try resetting the camera by holding down the two buttons on the top with the green dots for longer than 2 seconds (that works with the D80) The camera will not come on if the lens is not "on".

I just had this problem today myself, and looked everywhere online for a solution. I changed the batteries (to Panasonic), and it didn't help. But i tried different batteries (Energizers) and the camera started working again.

Hello. Begin by removing the battery and using the eraser end of a common pencil to clean the contacts inside the battery compartment. Then reinstall the battery. If that does not solve the problem, take your camera to a radio shack store and ask them to test your battery. joe
