If you read the users reviews on this page, next to the second row of stars beside the picture of the camera, several users returned their camera to Canon who fixed it for free.

If there is so many precedences, I feel you should do the same, unless you want to try yourself in which case you can follow the example of Scott who reported on 9/18/06 that he opened the camera and reset the internal battery, and it works.
