Do you have to have a memory card in it for it to work? I just got mine, charged it for 2 days, and it will not turn on!

No, it has a minimal on-board memory. Be sure your battery is installed correctly. Remove battery, re-insert then turn on. Mine acted that way at first also, so try this approach.Also, be sure to press the "on" button firmly; you do not need to hold it pushed in. Another way to see if your battery is OK is to press the arrow button for viewing photos without powering up the camera.If this doesn't work, you should contact the seller.

I just tested mine and it turns on without the memory card. Didn't give me a warning that I was taking imaginary pictures either. Yours may be defective and need to be returned.

because it's been a while since receviing my camera. I might not remember everything that came in the box. one thing for sure is the camera is definiitely in it. along with it came the charging cable for the wall outlet along with USB for the computer. to sensibly that everything that's needed to get it going, except for the sd card, is in the box to start taking your pictures. just before you attempt to, make sure to charge it fully before using. it should take a couple of hours while you're reading the instructions to it. good luck

It does not come with a memory card. It does come with a battery and a charger.

I would try formatting it through the camera... The manual for this camera says it takes SD or MMC memory cards. If you use another kind (CF, MS, xD, or SM) then it's unlikely to work. I have had mine for many years and it is a GREAT camera.. don't give up on it :)

Battery charger and no memory card with mine. I have card slots on my laptop so I don't connect to it with a cord. Saves yourcamera battery that way.

I agree with the other two answers, I had to charge mine for a few hours with USB cable provided before it would work.

Mine didn't come with a card either. I bought a 64 GB Sony SD/XC card and a spare battery. Since I bought it with the intention of using it while hiking, backpacking, kayaking and SCUBA diving, I didn't want to have to worry about running out of memory or juice- especially while SCUBA diving!

Did it power off? Do you use SD cards on your video camera ?. If you don't have SD cards the camera will power off. I only replace SD cards, and since I have this fabulous camera I have bought SD cards only once. I only recharge the battery, never had to change it.

I put a two gig memory card in mine. It was kinda on accident. I bought I 1 gig on ebay and they accientally sent me a 2 gig. So I decide to try it. It works great and have no probs yet.

It doesnt come with a memory card, at least when I got mine. Also it has no internal memory, so if you forget your memory card no pictures to be taken.

I got my camera to work! I have a powershot sd750 and it wouldn't power up at all. I tried tricks from other post such as ensuring the cover was closed, opening and removing the watch like battery, to no avail. I got mine to work by connecting the USB cord to my laptop, putting in the battery, and pressing play. It worked! And after that the camera turns on normally. Go figure

Have you tried the reset button? It's a little pin hole on the bottom. Also as weird as it may sound I've removed and replaced the SD card when having various issues with mine including not taking a charge or coming on and things worked fine after that. Makes no sense to me but that has worked. Goes with out saying but are you sure the charger is still working?

Make sure you have a 32GB or less SD card. I put in a 64GB and it does not recognize it, but I put in a 16GB and it worked fine.
