  • Many models of Canon Cameras such as the PowerShot SX-40 and Canon Vixia sometime won't turn on, especially as they age. This is a hack/fix that I have discovered that that may work, that I discovered. It may work for some of you. It appears that there is a battery overcharge problem that sometimes prevents the camera from turning on. Try an new charger and battery but try this hack to check that the camera can still turn on and function before you do that. Good luck.

    Update: The dummy battery was delivered today. I tried turning on the camera before using the dummy battery and it cut on and off as it should. I feel confident the dummy battery resolve would have worked too . I am holding onto the battery just in case. For anyone who’s wondering I used the camera for content vlogging yesterday. I was able to press the play button which allowed the camera to cut on after the battery was removed and reinserted. I turned on the auto off function to save on battery life. The camera was bought to vlog and as a lighter option to my fuji flim cameras. The canon was purchased refurbished from Canon at a great price so I didn’t want to return it as anything similar was twice in cost. Great vid and Thank U! I now have a better streaming option using the dummy battery. With the help of this vid and a Crafters youtube video that suggested the dummy battery as a reset option and reinserting the real battery after plugging in the dummy.

    • @Linescrew1Canada

      The Nikon vs. Canon thing is like Coke vs. Pepsi. My thoughts: I think Nikon is probably a tiny bit better for still photography. I have seen many of the digital processors on both and I think the Nikon portrays the green a little nicer than Canon. BUT, I think Canon shows the blue colour (see how we spell color here LOL) a little more vividly than Nikon's blue. But this is just subjective and I mostly use Canon products for video and not still photography. And in the end, you can digitally process the end result any way that you want with software. So probably a push on the Canon vs Nikon thing.

      People would ask me what camera was best and I would answer with "What is the best car?". Both Nikon and Canon made the best 35mm SLR cameras. A good friend had a pair of Nikon F2s and I followed his lead. Color was determined by the film you used. (I miss Kodachrome.) I need to research the digital cameras, as I cannot afford a top-of-the-line body like the F5 I have. Thanks for the color insight.

      It’s the “alien implants” that discombobulates the battery operated boyfriend. She should investigate getting a Japanese manufactured robot boyfriend. They are anatomically correct and I’m sure there is a good variety to choose from. Unfortunately, the robots can’t pay advanced prenuptial alimony.
      Carolyn needs to stop volunteering to be abducted. She loves the “probes”.

      When it craps out and it won't start, perhaps my video will help get it going. I priced out a new comparable replacement, and they are now very expensive. Hopefully, you get many years out of your camera.

Thank you this process worked to power on but my camera doesn’t power off either. any suggestions or is auto power option built into the camera the only option? i purchased a m200 from canon usa website and got it 1/2/24 it worked fine the three times i turned it on and randomly today it turned off. i paid $250 and can still return it but like you a used one is higher in cost.

They offered for me to send it in for repair or return for refund. I received the notification that my dummy battery was delivered this morning. I went to see if the camera would self power on and off and guess what? It did! Problem solved. I will hold on to the dummy battery just in case.
