I know I've seen this topic before but not sure if I have ever seen a definitive answer. My two years old EOS 6D Markll camera will not turn on. I tried everything..New battery. New SD card. With and without the lens attached. Holding the shutter release button. Leaving the camera open overnight with no battery, lens or SD card installed and all compartment doors open. Nothing worked.This is my third Canon camera and I have never had this type of problem before. Should I give up on this camera. It is currently my go to camera? Should I try to find a camera repair shop? Not sure if they even make this model anymore. I guess I would have to look for a refurbished model. Too may lense and accesssories to switch over to a mirrorless camera. Suggestions?

Many people may have the same symptoms, but the cause is more likely to be different from one camera to the next.
There is a micro switch on doors to battery and memory card compartments. The camera should not turn on when you leave one open.
Make certain that your battery is fully charged. You could have a bad battery and/or charger. I suggest removing every accessory, except for the battery. This includes a battery grip. They do become loose and can cause the camera not to turn on, BTW.
If the camera doesn’t turn on with just a battery, no lens or memory card, then your camera may need to be serviced.

Thank you. I guess I will try a camera shop while search for another camera. B&H Photo of New York, maybe. Thanks again.

KEH and MBP are also trusted for used gear. Always nice to have options.

Hey March411, thank you. I completely forgot about KEH. I have purchased from them in the past. Once again, thank you.
