Canon EOS Rebel SL2 (200D) Won't Turn on

[Aklimbrick]

I have 2 Canon SL2s a black version and a white version. About 5 months ago they both stopped turning on, at the same time. When I flipped on both their power switches, there would be a static noise buzzing from their speakers but the screen wouldn't turn on, nor would the red start up light flash on the bottom right hand of the cameras.

I looked up a possible solutions on Youtube, and they suggested to leave the camera turned on without a battery inside and a new memory card for a couple days, in order to "reset" it, but that hasn't worked.

Fast forward to last weekend, I haven't given up hope, so I charge new batteries and try to turn them on again. No luck.

But today I check the cameras memory cards and inside my black camera, my memory card has melted.

I am completely, and utterly confused and I'm desperately seeking help.

Greetings,

This could be an individual or combination of things.  Many 3 party batteries don't have safety circuity or protective measures to prevent over heating, over voltage, etc.  Inexpensive dummy batteries may not be properly regulated and over time might contribute to a power issue.  This is probably the least unlikely cause considering the amount of time that had elapsed.  I don't know anything about Artman batteries or kioxia memory cards.  My advice would be Canon batteries, and brand name, full size memory cards.  You camera's are an investment.  It really does illustrate the importance of all components and accessories.
