T3i Not Working (No Power)

Appears that the camera will not power up.

re-seeded sd card, battery, and lens.

anyone else have complete power failures? why these camers dying off so quickly?

One, you could have a bad battery.

Two, I think the display is designed to blank the LCD when your face is close to the rubber eyepiece. There is a sensor there that blanks the screen. If the rubber eyepiece becomes dislodged, or a foreign object obscures the sensor, the LCD can be blanked out and seem to appear to have failed.

Three, let's not think about number three.

My t3i comes on for a second and then goes dead. Won't take any pictures and nothing appears on screen. I bought new Canon brand battery, charged it, and same thing happened. What's the fix? I checked the battery door and SD card door.

Most Canon DSLRs (including, I'm pretty sure, the T3i) will shake the sensor when you turn the camera on or off, as a means of trying to dislodge dust. A wild stab in the dark is that something could have gone wrong with the mechanism that does that. Have you tried calling Canon Support?

Bob:

Thanks for response. I will try Canon support, though from number of postings it seems a lot of people are seeing this. Just not clear what worked, if anything, for any of them.

Are you sure the charger is good and giving you a fully charge battery?
