SELPHY CP1200 - Can't get past CANON open screen

[BeagleMom]

I purchased a SELPHY CP1200.  When preparing our house for a paint job, I packed it away, unopened.   I thought it was lost forever or thrown out, but I found it in a box in a closet.  I followed the directions to use it and guess what?  I can't get the menu to come up.  All I see is the Canon open screen.  Reading some answers about this, this appears to be a common problem through the years, yet no one has an answer except to unplug it, wait, replug it and turn it on again.  Didn't work.  Can't contact any support because, I guess, it's too old for anyone to care about.  

This is the last time I'm going to buy a Canon product since obviously they don't seem to care.  It may be an easy fix, but who knows?  It's in perfect condition otherwise.    Anyone have any luck?
