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.

Same issue with the newer m50 mrk ii and I am 3 months out of warranty. After Searching through my normal tech forums I found a lot of people with this issue and everyone saying canon would have to service the camera. Thanks to your video I had the camera working again after digging around for the adapter you bought. Very weird fix but hey whatever works! I also had to leave the camera plugged in for a few mins before it would power on at first I thought it wasn’t going to work but after waiting a few mins she came back to life. As soon as the camera receives power from the wall and powers on all issues seem to disappear. Very odd problem and odder fix. Seems like these cameras need a hard reset every once and awhile. Thanks so much for sharing and I’ll give a sub just for the help and maybe I’ll find a craft I like lol!

This was very helpful. Thank you so much. I was literally able to get my camera on immediately after watching this.

Aw man... I was so excited for this video, because we have a Canon EOS M50 in great condition that just ... doesn't turn on. Unfortunately, the trick with buying a dummy battery doesn't work at all for me because I had already been USING a dummy battery for about months before the camera went dead! Very glad to see yours started working for some reason. Ours won't turn on with brand new batters, with the direct to wall battery, etc.

for anyone whose found this video like me in the wee hours in the morning trying to solve their camera issue the battery mentioned is called a “dummy battery”. you just need one thats the same make as your original camera battery size. great video thank you and my dummy battery arrives tomorrow. hopefully this works

This was so helpful! Thank you! Mine did the same too but had a ticking noise. I purchased the charger you had suggested. Initially it didn’t work and was still clicking. I left it on charge however for a hour and the clicking eventually stopped. Once the clicking stopped, I turned my camera on and it was back to normal. I could use my regular battery again also. Was worried I’d have to buy a new camera but your video saved me!

Thank you for posting this. Thought my camera was toast! This worked perfectly!

🙏🏻 Thank you! Your video was the very first one to pop up on my search. I am having problems with my that I bought second hand. I will try out the dummmy battery.

Great video. You out did the tech KZfaqr himself. Bravo. Saved my camera.

Thank you. I was about to return this adapter as it didn't come on at first.

Very helpful, thank you. Does the problem return from time to time? or how were you able to show the problem in the video again?

I appreciate you to the fullest, thank you, I believe I cried for a month. I did not tell my husband nor my kids , even tho I thought my eldest daughter broke it and I didn’t know how to go about it. (She’s a Taurus N I A Virgo) (attitudes)! This Camera was brand new and I have never really used it, I let my daughter take it home and she brought it back months later and then I Let it sit on the table for a month then I thought my hubby had company and they broke it I didn’t know who to blame, (me: overthinking Virgo🤣) I hid the camera for about 3 -4 more months and now we are here😤 Thank you 🤎🧡🤎🧡💝

Mine has always been operating the way you fixed yours. I've never operated it from a real battery because I'm lazy and want to run it off the outlet instead of a battery and mine won't turn on. So I don't get it. Is your camera STILL not giving you issues? I'd be interested to know. Thanks

I had a vice-versa situation, using my M50 MK II with a dummy battery. Sometimes, my camera did not turn on with the dummy, so I figured I needed to plug in the fully charged original battery to my camera, and after it turned on, I could switch back using the dummy battery. In my case, for whatever reason (I'm using a different dummy adapter, the one with USB type-C), the dummy battery should be plugged into the dummy power adapter, not the laptop. If I plug it into the computer, the camera will not turn on, and I must plug in the original fully charged battery to make it work again. Hope that helps someone. I literally spent hours figuring this out.

Very helpful . Subscribed. thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you!!!❤ You earned a sub!

I was having a similar problem with my Canon EOS M. It had been sitting (battery out) for about 4 years. I bought 2 new batteries and charged them and it still wouldn't power on even though the lens would move a bit when I closed the battery hatch. I tried connecting to my computer via USB and still nothing. After desperately pressing and holding every button, I started doing combos. After holding the "on" button and the green "playback" icon button simultaneously, it finally powered on. I had to press the off button in rapid succession to get it to power back off. After taking some photos and about an hour of elapsed time+powering on and off (several times), it now powers on if I hold the on button by itself for about 10 seconds (sometimes after a couple cycles of 10 seconds then pressing it a couple times normally) and it powers off normally for the most part, sometimes I have to press and or briefly hold the off button a couple of times. I'm hoping the gremlins will eventually work themselves out, but the camera seems to be functioning normally.

Hi! I'm desperate and worried about my Canon M50 Mark II which won't turn on. I have a Sigma lens and generic batteries. My M50 Mark II is about 2 years old. I was taking photos with it a few weeks ago and then it just stopped! It turned itself off while I was taking photos. I thought it was battery at first and changed battery 3 times since I have 3 other generic batteries all fully charged. Won't turn on still. When I turn to ON position, nothing. But when I turn to OFF position right from ON position, the green light is on for like 2 seconds. And then, when I turn to ON position right after, the green light flashes for like a second. And there is a clicking sound. I tried with the original Canon lens and it's the same thing. Spent hours looking online and nothing has worked like taking everything out and leaving out for a day. Pressing P for 30 seconds, etc. Thank you so much for your help in advance! HELP PLEASE!!!

Omg i will try this thank you so much!!!!!!

Lets hope tomorow mine starts as well.

YOU ARE AWESOME!!!!!!❤

Helped me! I just went to use my canon m50 for some photos and it wouldn't turn on. Put in a different battery. Nothing. Connected it to my computer. Still nothing. This lets me know that I just need to find my wall battery that I bought when I first got my camera... i need to find it to see if this works. Hope it works!!

I’m trying this thank you! I am devastated about my camera

Hope it works.gonna order that product.

I have the exact opposite problem at the moment. I thought it might have been a dodgy cable so I purchased a new one. I have been using the battery pack for some time now. It was connected to the power with a usb extension cable. The dog chewed the extension cable and the camera wouldn't turn on. So the new battery pack arrives and I plug it in. The camera still won't turn on. I put the fully charged battery that came with the camera in and it works fine. So any help on how to get the camera to work with the adapter?

THANK U SO FREAKING MUCH

God bless you!

Question. Does it go back to "not turning on" again after the reset.?

Will you please tell me the name of that. What's in that little box? My Canon EOS 50M is having the exact same problem you were having in this video and I think what you did will help me. But I don't know the name of it so I can't find it to buy it. And when I screenshot the video and try to get a bigger picture of that barcode you're showing it's all blurry.

hello what is the name of the reset battery on amazon? my m200 will not power on. thanks in advance

This saved me thank you!!

yes thank yoou for sharing, its can be searched by "m50 dummy battery"

where do you buy the charge from that you contact to the bottom of your camera please

I had this problem a year a go i tried same things except alcohol, i just pushed the contact with a needle also blow hot air in the battery hole... It's just happened again starting with non genuine batteries then the original battery. i watched many videos and i just fix it. in my cas it was because of the Sigma lens i switched to the standard it's work for the whole batteries then i cleaned the yellow conductor in the sigma lense and it also work again The wire battery just try it once, just for backup that still never used. Cheer's

Thank you ❤

I have th same problem now, Canon should think about fixing this issue.

Hi I tried to remove the Sigma 105mm (with and without the EF adapter) but it works without the sigma but when I plug back the sigma, it doesn't work no matter if there's a dummy or a real battery :(

I'm also facing the same issue, can you please share the link that battery

do u have to do this everytime you turn the camera on?

Yesterday, during Birthday party my m50 suddenly stopped working. I is that same reason to change battery pack? I have two full batteries charged, but m50 canon camera doesn't power on..... Yet

Tnx a lot 🇲🇰🇷🇸

I have the dummy didint work for me yet

Mine does this too - it's so frustrating! I've not bought the dummy battery, but I find to get mine working, I have to leave it without a battery or card in it for a couple of hours and then try a fresh battery. Otherwise, I find if I remove the battery and card and blow into the battery compartment, then it usually starts working! No idea why! Thanks for this video.

can i get the link of the product

Thank youuuuuuu!!!

Oh my god. Thank you 😢😢😢

What is the namefor that little think that look as a battery?

I am also having same problem, and i also thought to do this

C'est Quoi le nom de ce chargeur

I have the same "F-ing" issue with Canon SL3, I have tried every thing nothing works, I even took it to camera shop, just to diagnose the problem they want to charge me over $100. I just, said forget it I would try and order one of this on ebay or Amazon to reset my Camera.
