EOS R owner here. Bought mine last year when it dropped to $1800 last November and used the camera for a couple of events. Since then, it's been slow so I've just had the camera sitting in my bag. Today. I took it out only to realize it was not turning on. Okay, maybe the battery was dead. Charged up the batteries. I currently have 3.
I'm at a loss here. I have no error messages. In fact, When i put the battery in, the top screen doesn't even turn on. It's as if my camera is getting zero power. It's kinda pissing me off since I barely used this camera. I also sold my previous bodies when buying the R and all I have left are my really old bodies no one wants to buy anymore.. lol... 20D and original 5D.
Well, in the meantime, I'll revert to using my old cameras but hoping someone had any suggestions here on what secret buttons I could press to magically reset and make the camera working again. If not, I guess I will have to send it in for repair. That is another pain in the *** since all my local camera stores that used to help me out and send stuff in for me is out of business so i have to do all this myself. now. Anyway, help... if you can...

How long ago is "last year"? Is the camera still under Canon's one-year warranty? If so, send it in without delay. If not, call Canon Service and see what they recommend.

Thanks. Yeah the camera is still under warranty. I will be sending it in on Monday but I was hoping there was some magic out there that would bring my camera back to life.

You could call Canon Service first and see if they have any suggestions. They're generally pretty helpful.
