EOS R100 not turning on and image.canon unresponsive

Got this camera for free in 2024 from a camera class.

Just recorded a video and uploaded it to image.canon. When I get to the website, I try opening the video I took, and nothing happened. After trying to troubleshoot, I looked at my camera and it’s on but the screen is black. I assume it’s just the auto-off feature as it was turned on at the time, so I turned it off and on again. The screen was still black. My brother and I, who both got the same cameras, tried to troubleshoot again. Nothing happened.

Do you have any help?

Hi ZYNE3436,

I'm sorry to hear your camera isn't powering on. In regards to the video on image.canon we would recommend downloading the video to your computer and try playing it there. The video file could be large enough it can't play well in the browser.

In regards to the camera there are some things to check with an issue like this. The first is to try loading a different battery in the camera. Sometimes if a battery is under or over powering the camera it can cause issues like this. If that doesn't resolve the issue the next step would be to load a different memory card in the camera. Sometimes if a memory card is malfunctioning it can prevent the camera from powering on correctly. If the issue continues then we would recommend attaching a different lens on the camera. Sometimes if there is a short in the lens it can cause power issues.

If the camera still isn't powering on after checking those things we would recommend sending the camera in for repair.
