3 years later and still saving lives 🙏🏽

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.

Damn! This worked a treat man ! I hadn't used my 40D for almost a year. I turned it on yesterday and nothing happened. I tried this and now it's working again ! Thanks soo much 🙏

Thank you so much, man!! I was about to take it to the service centre. Removing everything and keeping it open for an hour did fix the issue for me. :)

it worked for my Canon6d mark2 this morning.. Thank you

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!!

This was ABSOLUTELY AWESOME my camera is back on task. Thanks a million for sharing such fantastic, extremely important, valuable, free information.

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!

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!

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!

This guys the goat bro I literally didn’t even have the same problem but his first solution still worked

Life saver! I left overnight the camera dismantled and formatted the SD card from Disk Utility and now is working again. So helpful!

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!

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

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

Mucho Gracious! I didn't have to wait overnight. Taking the lens off and taking the SD card out and then putting the lens back on fixed it. I was using the power adapter instead of the battery so that wasn't it. Was worried I was going to have to buy a new camera. Thank you!

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.

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!

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. 🖤

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!

Thanks alot! Simply took off the lens and reapplied it 10 seconds later. Now it works again!

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! ❤️📸👍🤩

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.

yaaaaaaaay it took only a few minutes with me, not a whole night, Thanks Sir. sooooooo much you are the best 🙏🙏🙏 by the way i didn't change the SDcard, or anything

This video saved me from spending 219 USD to get if fixed! Thank you so much!!!!!!

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

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!

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!!!!!🎉🎉🎉

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?

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!

Outstanding video! It fixed my T4i malfunctioning! Clapping from Norfolk, Va!🤗

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!!

Thank you sir!! The first option worked for me😅

This saved my life in 2024! Replaced my SD card and it instantly came on! 🤯

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.

eos M here, thank you sir, it would not turn on but blinked as if it was trying to, I changed the adapter, it took a few seconds to turn on and turned off weirdly, then switched back to the one I regularly use, and boom! back to normal, again thanks a lot

Excellent, I thought I was going to have an expensive repair. It worked. Thank you.

Yep....Had to buy a new card, but it works. Thankyou for the tip!

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.

Buying the new card really worked. Thank you for the help. I'm so happy my camera is working again.

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!!!!

Thanks. Formatting the card only, worked for me :) Cheers!

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!

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 😂

You fixed our camera-- Thanks!

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

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!

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. ❤❤

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

It worked the first time!!! Thank you.

it worked. Thank You.

this helped with my M6 Mk II, you are a godsend. Thank you!

Worked for me.. I was scared .. so thanks heaps

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..

😂 I can confirm this works. I had to do the extended ‘fit new sd card’ trick. What a crazy fix

this worked for canon 550 D (rebel T2) Thanks so much...

Thank you, changing to new sandisk worked. 😊

Thanks so much - amazing!!! This worked!!! You are a life saver!!!

Thank you so much for your tips. It helps a lot!🤩🤩

thanks so much..it worked

Saved me as well! Thank you!

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?

Wow your awesome got my 90d back on 🙏

thank you. this worked for me!

THANK YOU!!! mine came back on, thank you thank you thank you

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.🤩😍🤩🥰🥰🥰🥰

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 :(

That actually helped. Just changing different sd, not new one

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.

thanks man, it just worked

I am going to try it. Got my fingers crossed. Barely used the camera, and now that i am ready, darn thing not working

Thank you so much it works I remove everything

I have a canon camera, eos 250D, I just bought a battery because my battery was separated, but when I put the new battery, the camera didn't turn on, how is that?

So what's the actual problem with this Canon cameras as I've seen many have the same diagnostics

Thumps up from me , definitely work I definitely appreciate you 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿

it works. i dont know how but im happy my t7 is back on. thank you

Thank you I replaced the storage and it turned on!

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 🥺

Thanks!!! This worked with my EOS40D.

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 ✌

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?

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.

Going to try this with my t6i! It just didn't turn on one day.. will update. 🤞

Does the camera need a scan disc to power up

You are the amazing for sharing this with us!

Thank you big help❤❤❤

Life saver ☺️ thank you

I have no idea how, but my camera is working again. Thank you. Can you please tell me why this works?

Thank you so much for this tip

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!

Thank you so much! You saved my life.lol

Thank you soooooooooooooooooooooo muchhhhhhhhhhhhh

I changed my card and that worked

but is the problem is the memory card by just removing the card should fire up if thats the disk problem right

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.

Lost for words, actually saved my ass! Thank you!

I got mine a little wet years ago. Won’t start. I just decided to look up a fix. I had it hanging down my neck and leaning against my wet shirt at the beach. Never got it to start. Maybe I’ll try the new San-disk. Edit (Didn’t work) lol

I will try this,same problem with my eos 1100D.i will post a comment afterwards if it work.

Tried this and doesn't work in a 2019 m100 camera that was rarely used and very well looked after, will be the last piece of canon junk I will buy

first trick works even I disassemble everything for 1 min
