R6 Mark ii stopped working

Hi all.  Sadly, my R6 has stopped functioning.  When I power it up, it just makes a clicking sound about every 2 seconds, and nothing else works.  Has anyone seen this issue?  Thanks in advance for any info.

Hi timtom64,

I'm sorry to hear your camera is not powering on. There are a couple of things to check with an issue like this. The first thing would be to try loading a different battery in the camera. Sometimes if a battery is malfunctioning it can cause issues like this. If that doesn't resolve the issue the next thing would be to load a different memory card in the camera. Sometimes if the memory card is malfunctioning it can cause issues with the boot up. If the issue continues the last thing would be to attach a different lens. Sometimes if there is a short in the lens it can cause issues like this. Swapping out each piece one at a time can help narrow down which may be causing the malfunction.

If the issue continues after checking those things at that point we would recommend sending the camera in for repair. The Canon U.S.A., Inc. online repair portal allows you to set up service in a few simple steps. The repair portal gives you the ability to set up service for multiple pieces of equipment at once, and to receive a repair estimate in the majority of cases, depending on your model and issue. The portal also allows you to upload images or videos that will assist us in repairing your product. You can also select how you wish to be notified of the progress of your repair. The portal's service history section allows you to view all services that have been performed on any of your camera or video products since January 7, 2020.

Thanks for your response.  I did try all of those options and nothing changed.  I boxed my R6 up and sent it to Canon yesterday.  I'll post any pertinent info here if I get any later.  Thanks!
