PowerShot SX70 HS Won't Turn On

[Jamesmhardy]

Suddenly, my power shot sx70 has stopped working. I have fully charged the battery but the camera will not turn on. Iwas using it yesterday and if froze. I coukd not even get the lense to retract.

Thoughts or solutions?

A battery can  die such that it looks like it fully charged but doesn't work. Do you have another battery? There are less-expensive alternatives to a genuine Canon if you want to buy one to test the camera.

I've tried 4 different batteries and have had no luck getting mine to turn on either.
