Canon EL-5 won’t turn on?

[paipvora]

I got an EL-5 and I was eager to try it. Turned it on had some fun - but the battery was half way charged, so I took the battery out and charged it in the official charger.

After charging it, putting the battery back in I turned it back on and it won’t turn on at all anymore?

I’m not sure what I can do next, it clearly was working…
