Canon EL-5 won’t turn on?

I got an EL-5 and I was eager to try it. Turned it on had some fun - but the battery was half way charged, so I took the battery out and charged it in the official charger.

After charging it, putting the battery back in I turned it back on and it won’t turn on at all anymore?

I’m not sure what I can do next, it clearly was working…

Greetings,

Your issue may be unrelated, but please review this knowledge base article and see if it applies.

How to identify if you own an affected product . If the fourth digit from the left in your serial number is "0" zero, your product is affected.

If your flash simply won't turn on and you have inserted a freshly charged battery of known good quality / health I would recommend sending your flash to Canon for inspection and repair. Start by registering your device in your MyCanon portal then initiate a repair.
