Greetings,

If you just purchased it, I'd return it to the seller as defective.

You can send it to the Canon representative that serves your area and they will take care of it. It should have a full Canon warranty if you bought it from a Canon authorized retailer.

Although it is not impossible but it is very unlikely for anyone to buy a Canon camera that is DOA. It just doesn't happen so are you sure you got a brand new camera in a sealed box from a well respected source? If not I doubt Canon will be able to help you.at least not for free.

One question why did you think you needed to update the FW on a brand new camera in the first place?
