Hello Maud65,

I'm sorry to hear that you are having issues with your camera. I would ask that we try a few things to see if we can narrow down the issue some. In addition to removing the battery, could you try removing the lens and card as well as anything on the hotshoe, if applicable? 

  1. Put a fully charged battery in only. (no lens or card) (Please use a genuine Canon battery) You can also try these steps with a separate battery to see if the battery is possibly the issue.
  2. Set the camera to P mode.
  3. Power the camera ON.
  4. Hit MENU. 

Does the menu come up on the LCD display?  If not, the camera will need to be serviced.
