Canon Eos R6 mark II wont turn on, brand new

Just got R6 Mark II, used an LPE6P battery at 89% and it worked for the first 3 minutes. Turned it off for a bit and then wont turn on again.

ItsRakky,

Have you made sure that your battery door is firmly shut?

Very much so, firmly shut. SD slot as well. I've done it multiple times, to check. Battery is also not an issue as I tested with my 80D. The indicator light doesnt flash, when the battery is installed.

ItsRakky,

You may have a broken wire. If the camera is still brand new, it should still be under warranty. I'd contact Canon Support.

I'd go back to the seller. Hopefully he purchased from a reliable source.

Yeah unfortunately, it seems that particular R6 Mark II was basically dead on arrival and was replaced by the source. Thanks everyone!
