There's also one on the memory card door. If they are not engaged, the camera will not power up.<BR /> Sat, 11 Oct 2014 00:44:23 GMT https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/EOS-DSLR-Mirrorless-Cameras/my-camera-t3-won-t-work-even-after-I-charge-the-batteries-any/m-p/118797#M67465 TCampbell 2014-10-11T00:44:23Z https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/EOS-DSLR-Mirrorless-Cameras/my-camera-t3-won-t-work-even-after-I-charge-the-batteries-any/m-p/118863#M67466 <P>thank you for taking the time to answer. I cannot find a tab but by all accounts the battery and door seem to be closed and in tight. I have had this camera for a few years and have never had this problem before. I guess I'll take it to a local camera shop. Thanks again.</P> Sat, 11 Oct 2014 12:01:05 GMT https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/EOS-DSLR-Mirrorless-Cameras/my-camera-t3-won-t-work-even-after-I-charge-the-batteries-any/m-p/118863#M67466 jazzy12432002 2014-10-11T12:01:05Z https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/EOS-DSLR-Mirrorless-Cameras/my-camera-t3-won-t-work-even-after-I-charge-the-batteries-any/m-p/118867#M67467 <P><EM>"I guess I'll take it to a local camera shop."</EM></P><P>&nbsp;</P><P><SPAN>This is where it belongs. &nbsp;<img id="smileysad" class="emoticon emoticon-smileysad" src="https://community.usa.canon.com/i/smilies/16x16_smiley-sad.png" alt="Smiley Sad" title="Smiley Sad" /></SPAN></P> Sat, 11 Oct 2014 12:09:34 GMT https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/EOS-DSLR-Mirrorless-Cameras/my-camera-t3-won-t-work-even-after-I-charge-the-batteries-any/m-p/118867#M67467 ebiggs1 2014-10-11T12:09:34Z
