- Easy DIY Fix for Canon EOS Camera Not Turning On
In this short how-to video we show how to fix a Canon EOS camera that will not turn on. These cameras seem to lock up if the power is left on by mistake for extended periods. When the battery runs dead the camera locks down and can be quite difficult to get started again. Video gives two ways to try to resolve the issue.

Sir, You are an absolute genius. My EOS 750D had ben locked for a while. I watched your video, recharged the batteries, dismounted the lens, left for 36 hours, inserted a new Scandisk 64gb card and its works perfectly. Thank-you so much.
Same with me
This worked! My daughter has a Canon PowerShot SX740 HS that was packed away during a move. I charged her battery, pressed the on button and no response. Took out the battery and the memory card, recharged the battery, put it all back in and voila! The camera works! Thanks so much for saving me a trip to Canon and a repair bill!
Thanks to you, I got to go out and see the Northern Lights last night and get some amazing shots! You're truly a life-saver, thank you!
Man you are a life saver! Just had this problem with my Canon 5D Mark lll and your first technique worked for me. I was desperate!! haha oh and btw I just left less than 1 minute the camera "breathing". Thank you so much!
Great to hear!
Oh my god you just saved my life. Haven’t used my camera in a while, need it this weekend (starting in a couple hours) to photograph at a few days long event and it wasn’t turning on even though the battery was full. Removed everything, waited an hour and a half and hoped for the best (I would really be fucked if it didn’t turn on), and it WORKED! Thank you so much
super thankful for this 💞 I really thought I'd spend money just to make my canon eos 1200D work again. I just followed the steps given and thankfully it worked.
Thank you SO much! This worked for my Canon EOS40D. I got REALLY lucky and was able to use an existing spare storage card I had laying around but thank you so much. This camera means a lot to me. 🖤
This was ABSOLUTELY AWESOME my camera is back on task. Thanks a million for sharing such fantastic, extremely important, valuable, free information.
Happy to help!!
OMG---It worked!!!! I did what you recommmended and left it like that overnight. Woke up this morning and put it back together and VOILA....it worked. I was floored!!!
Is this a know glitch in this particular camera???
THANKS so very much!!
Excellent, I thought I was going to have an expensive repair. It worked. Thank you.
Thanks a lot! I only had to remove the lens and the camera was able to turn on instantly.
I had it in a freezing weather yesterday which might have discharged the battery completely and I mounted another lens. Even after I charged the battery at home and inserted it, LED should blink, but it didn't. Thanks a lot for sharing your tips!
Holy shit. Thank you so so so much. I bought a 7D off Craigslist and only 5 days later it didn't turn on. I was extremely bummed out, thinking I was sold a dud. But taking everything off and leaving it off over night worked. I am on cloud 9 right now.
This guys the goat bro I literally didn’t even have the same problem but his first solution still worked
Thank you thank you thank you! My interest in photography had a resurgence recently and I got out my old 40D and was gutted when it would my turn on. I started shopping for a new camera and then came across your video. As much as I would love a camera upgrade my wallet appreciates trucking along with my old 40D! Thank you again!
Life saver! I left overnight the camera dismantled and formatted the SD card from Disk Utility and now is working again. So helpful!
Great to hear!
Did you swapped the sd card? Is it necessary?
Buying the new card really worked. Thank you for the help. I'm so happy my camera is working again.
This was SO HELPFUL!!! Admittedly I did not follow your instructions exactly. I have a Rebel T1i, and it would drain the battery so fast, so I thought the battery was the issue and had bought new batteries. When I used new charged batteries it still behaved the same way. The reason your video is helpful is that I never would have thought to check out what is going on with the card! I did not buy a new card but just put in another one and that totally fixed my problem! Thank you for this video which helped me in a roundabout way by highlighting that the card could be the issue. How lucky that yours was the first video I clicked on and it helped! I had prayed for God's help this morning and He always helps! God is good! May God bless you!
Worked for me as well!!! Thanks a lot for your advice!!! It saved my D40 camera. It was not possible to switch it on. New batteries didn't help. But helped when I took out the CF card and switched camera without it.
Great to hear!
Thank you so much 👍🏽. Just tried the overnight method for my Canon 700d and it worked! I know it's an old model but I can't afford to replace it right now. So happy!
Great to hear!
Thank you so much. I was so sad my camera wasn’t turning on because I’ve had it since I was in middle school and now it works again thanks for you!!! You’re awesome
Glad I could help!
@@DIYeasycraftsdid both your methods still wont turn on, any other ways?
Thanks a lot! I have a T3i and I was completely scared when it didn't turn on. Then I leave it 24H as you said and also tried with a formated SD card and it turned on! Magic! Thanks a lot!
You're welcome!
Thank you so much for your tips. It helps a lot!🤩🤩
THAK YOU SO MUCH!!!! I took off the lens and put it back on after just 5 seconds and it turned on! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!!!!
I did the exact thing where I left my 700D for a couple of weeks with the switch at the "on" position and now it wouldn't turn on, did what you described in the first method and it worked!
Awesome
Your a gosh darn genius! O was skeptical at first but I didn't even wait 24 hrs plus I didn't charge the battery fully. I only switched out the sd card for another one (not a new one) I took the lens off and took the batter out and sd card out. I let it set for 5 minutes. I couldn't wait to see if it would work and low and behold, it works!!!!!🎉🎉🎉
Thank you so much it really turned on when i felt so helpless about it, i did not have to change the SD card by the way. ❤❤
I thank you so much for this video and your help to make my lovely Canon work again. I couldn’t use it for more than a year and now I will take care of it like a baby. Thank you for your help! ❤️📸👍🤩
You're very welcome!
Outstanding video! It fixed my T4i malfunctioning! Clapping from Norfolk, Va!🤗
Fantastic!
Life saver ☺️ thank you
Thanks. Formatting the card only, worked for me :) Cheers!
Thank you so much! My EOS 550D was suffering these symptoms - after not much success with plan A (it turned on after having the battery out for over 24hrs but wouldn't let me take a photo or respond when I changed modes), I then went for the recharge/dismount/new memory card option... after leaving for 36 hours+ just tried it and despite being sceptical it now seems to be back in perfect working order! Saved me time and money in repairs, thanks again!!
sir i have the same 550d with similar problem , it won't turn on during shoot with complete screen blank bt the eye piece n the auto focus do respond ,,
Thank you!!! I have a 250d from 2019. I faced the issue a few months after buying it, I dont' know how I fixed it then.
Last week I left my camera on for days and battery was drained and this stuupid issue came back!!
I was losing my mind, finally removing battery and sd card and leaving the trap open for 2 hours almost fixed it.
I had to to the following steps :
-put battery only back (still not turning on)
-removing lens, yes camera is on
-putting lens back and yes still turning on
-putting sd back, and yes again still turning on and working good.
😂 I can confirm this works. I had to do the extended ‘fit new sd card’ trick. What a crazy fix
You are the amazing for sharing this with us!
Thanks so much - amazing!!! This worked!!! You are a life saver!!!
Glad it helped!
Wow, this totally worked! Thanks! I was able to use a 17 year old and used cf card to fix it. Any idea why these cameras have suck a horribly strange defect?
thanks for the video, my friend. my brand new t8i would not turn on before a shoot, i accidently left it on while on video mode. recharged the battery and it wouldn't work. i didn't use a brand new card though, i took off the battery and lens overnight, formatted one card and plugged it in, and the camera turned on normally. when i put the card, the light switch blank red, and oh god, was i relieved
Thx so much for this Video, though my eos 1300d kept dying after I started it once and I had to leave it without battery and sd card again for some hours to make it fire up.
What finally fixed the issue was leaving it without sd card and battery, start it without any card and then putting that back in.
Thanks!!! This worked with my EOS40D.
It worked the first time!!! Thank you.
Glad it helped
I’m going to try it today, I’m not sure if it’s gonna work cos I haven’t used my camera for almost 2yrs,so I’m hoping it will work. I will definitely come back and give u a feedback
And I’m back,wow I have got to give it to you,my camera is perfectly working fine,after 2yrs, thank you for your DIY
Thank you, good sir! I had my Canon 700D left in the camera bag for the past 7 years and went to fire it up, but it wasn't turning on - used your guide and now I'm snapping photos of the dog 😂
Glad I could help!
Thank you, changing to new sandisk worked. 😊
I recntly bought a used Canon EOS Rebel Ti5 on my local FB selling group; it was only $200 because it was missing the battery and the original lense, only the telescope lens or whatever it's called. I was able to get a battery and I have a memory card but I can't get it to turn on.
I'm pretty sure the battery is the correct one, it's called a Promaster and says that it replaces the Canon LP-E8. This is my first camera, I want to use it to document the process of renovating my RV but I have no idea what to do to get the camera working.
Did I get ripped off, or do you think there is hope to get the camera working?
What's really frustrating is that I live on an Island in Alaska and I can't find a single place on Amazon that will ship a battery up here :(
Thank you sir!! The first option worked for me😅
You're welcome!
thanks man, it just worked
this worked for canon 550 D (rebel T2) Thanks so much...
Great to hear!
Lost for words, actually saved my ass! Thank you!
Turns out there is a plan b(ii) . I did use a scan disk that just happened to be lying around and that's what eventually fixed it. Thanks for the idea!
That actually helped. Just changing different sd, not new one
this helped with my M6 Mk II, you are a godsend. Thank you!
Glad it helped!
Which method helped you with m6 mk ii?
@@puszkatechI tried everything in here and it turned back on. This was a year ago when I made this comment, so I’m not sure what exactly.
@@MadlyNathan Thanks for clarifying! My M6 is still dead. I ordered a new SD card and battery to test it out. I hope it will help. Yours and others' comments make me believe that it will fix itself :')
The information was helpful. When I deleted the pictures on my SD card, the camera would not come on. After watching the video, I formatted the SD card (exfat) using my computer. Inserted the card and the camera came back on. Then I went into the camera menu and had the camera format it...All is well now..
THANK YOU!!! mine came back on, thank you thank you thank you
You fixed our camera-- Thanks!
Glad I could help!
Worked for me.. I was scared .. so thanks heaps
Saved me as well! Thank you!
it works. i dont know how but im happy my t7 is back on. thank you
Good to hear
Worked for me!
I use my EOS 350D (from 2005) maybe one or two times a year and until now after use just put it 'off' and away. This time though, for the very first time, it wouldnt turn on with recharged battery :(
So should I now always remove battery, lens and sandisk after use? Or is just the battery out enough?
A CHEAPER SOLUTION FOR THE SD CARD: if you have a card reader, put it into your computer and go into "This PC" or "My PC" then the card should have a file with a coloured line next to it, right click and format the card (make sure you have saved all memory on it externally first) this reverts the card back to factory settings and the camera should work perfectly fine, you don't have to buy a new one unless this doesn't work.
Is it similar to blinking battery problem? My canon 60d was left with battery which went to 0 and it bricked it somehow. Now when I put on battery there is only empty blinking battery icon and camera wont turn on. I tried with 4 different batteries (one original), three different cards (but not completely new ones). From internet research I found my problem may be harder to solve and have something to do with the motherboard which need to be replaced but I don't know what to think looking at your magical ways haha
what happened to your camera? I have this exact same problem/
@@philrosales7043 Dunno. It's still broken but as I said I think it's the motherboard brick and replacing it might work. Buying new one seems better solution if you don't have free motherboard for replacement
thank you. this worked for me!
Glad it helped!
Thnx it's working
it worked. Thank You.
Thank you so much for this tip
You are so welcome!
thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaank you so much it works!!!
Glad it helped
trying it now hope it works
Thanks :)
Thank you big help❤❤❤
You're welcome 😊
Didn't work for my Canon 40D. But it also has the "busy" flashing message, so maybe that means there's a deeper problem. I've tried all the troubleshooting tips for that problem too though. Maybe time to buy a new camera.
Wow your awesome got my 90d back on 🙏
Glad I could help!
Thank you so much! You saved my life.lol
You are welcome!
My Canon EOS 850D (brand new may I add!) Stopped working in the middle of shooting.
I was filming for a few hours tbf. But it just stopped & wouldn't turn on at all, even with a new battery.
I'm gonna try this & hope it works! Thanks for the tips ✌
Did it work?
@@EnventProductions Worked?
it worked with mine. brand new as well
Thank you very much, I just followed your instructions and my Canon EOS 500D is again operational. Canon announced to me about 400 euros for the troubleshooting. thanks again. Merci beaucoup, je viens de suivre vos instructions et mon Canon EOS 500D est à nouveau opérationnel. Canon m'a annoncé environ 400 euros pour le dépannage. Merci encore.🤩😍🤩🥰🥰🥰🥰
Thanks
Thumps up from me , definitely work I definitely appreciate you 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
Glad it helped
Thank you soooooooooooooooooooooo muchhhhhhhhhhhhh
thanks so much..it worked
You're welcome!
Hey!! I’m in a middle of my trip and the canon m50 died and it won’t turn on. I was recording a video and left it on maybe for 10 minutes or so, do you think that was it? I’ll try this overnight and I’ll change the sd card, fingers crossed it will work!
Sounds like it. If that does not work get a brand new card and new battery
Can you put the lens mount caps on the lens and camera when you leave it dismantled, or is there a reason why you left it uncovered?
En mi caso volvió a funcionar poniendole una SD diferente (no era nueva, sino usada en otra cámara) y volviendo a colocarle la original. Capooo
Thank you so much it works I remove everything
Good to hear
TIP: Charge battery and try swapping SD Cards first.
😃Yessss!! It worked and only took about 30 minutes. I also included commenter Daniel Tokaryev's tip to blow, I used a blow bulb, possible dust off terminals. I was fretting needing to repair or replace an only 3yo EOS Rebel T7. Thanks!!!
BTW this kind of thing must be known to Canon engineers and should be in the Troubleshooting section of the man ... oh wait. There is no troubleshooting section in the manual 😠
UPDATE: A day later the problem returned. A little research suggested using a toothpick to gently move the battery/SD Card door switch to possibly unstick it. 🤞the camera seems to be working fine.
UPDATE #2: After additional experimentation it turns out a 128GB SD card creates the problem. Just swapping out that card with several other cards allows the camera to power up like normal.
but is the problem is the memory card by just removing the card should fire up if thats the disk problem right
Can I do this technique when I left my camera too long 🥺 now I can’t turn it on and I’m trying your technique and I hope it will work 🥺
did it work ?
@@gigim7401 no it didn’t. But my camera’s lens broke (not because of his technique but because of me), so I can’t fix it.
Thanks ! Damn camera shut down as i removed the SD card to use it to move files on my Chromebook ?! WTH ?! Batterry was charged yèt im taking you advice as i was ready to gun this thing out the window !!! 😂 😂 Not for what i paid !!! 😂 Thanks again !
So what's the actual problem with this Canon cameras as I've seen many have the same diagnostics
It was the SD card for me. I actually just used another one that was laying around and it worked just fine!
Battery won’t come out. After I charged and replaced. Is it possible to put the battery in wrong orientation.
My canon eos rp is not switching on as its brand new i have changed the battery but it still not working any tips?
Going to try this with my t6i! It just didn't turn on one day.. will update. 🤞
Let me know how it works out. Other option is to buy a new battery and card. If you do just never use the old ones
I changed my card and that worked
Will this work on sony caneras?😢
first trick works even I disassemble everything for 1 min
Let me try this on my 1ds mark III. I sent it to a Canon repair facility and they said I need a new motherboard 2000 real. I'll repost it this fix works.
Going try this . I tired buying a new disk and seeing it turn on it didn’t so now took everything off and just going let it sit for a few days to see if turned back on 🙏🏾
I know it's a different model, but I got my EOS M to power on by holding the "on" and green "playback" icon button simultaneously. My EOS M had been sitting without the battery for 4 years and wouldn't turn on even with new batteries (though the lens would move a bit when I would close the battery door). I tried re-seating the sd card, re-seating the lens and checking the battery door switches/battery contacts to no avail. I figured I'd mention it in the event it works for other cannon models. I got mine working this afternoon, got excited, and have been trying to find people with Canon cameras having similar issues haha. Hopefully it works for you. ✌🏿
You should use the body cap and treat lens cap (or at least a plastic bag) to keep dust out of the camera. I also think you could try charging the battery a couple of times. I'm guessing the problem is all battery and not memory card.
I like the collaborative mindset, let's keep it going! I literally couldn't have made a better suggestion for the body and lens cap. I like the idea of trying to charge the battery a couple times (I believe you suggested this as a method of checking for a faulty battery, nice) but I would not be quick to dismiss the memory card. While I cannot give a technical explanation, I could see how an uninitialized sd card would cause a "break" in a cycle. Fathom this as a thought experiment. If the camera was left on for a couple days (like the example stated in the video) and was in the middle of a process when the battery finally died. I could see the camera having some sort of issue "booting" if it had failed to "shut down" properly. I'm a pc hobbyist so my terminology can likely be changed to something more agreeable.
Caps are 5 dollars at best buy / online retailers (for both caps). Actual camera stores might give them to you free as advertising.
I Have A Eos 1300d , It Didn't Work For Me
So Any Other Suggestions?
My new R7 had a similar issue. I kept it aside for one and a half days. It then displayed error 40. Then it worked. So I suggest that everyone should keep it aside for 2 days before sending for service.
Works with my 90d in P mode and hold the shutter for 15sec
I have no idea how, but my camera is working again. Thank you. Can you please tell me why this works?
Sorry I dont know why. Im not an expert just figured out how to get mine working again and wanted to share
