canon sd600 will not switch on

since last week our canon sd600 wil not turn on. I have tried all the usual tricks. The camera is over 2 yrs old and out of warranty.
Any ideas on what might be wrong or how I might be able to fix it?

Battery could be defective. Or, the contacts could be dirty. Try using a pencil eraser and clean the contacts with it. Also, if you live in a humid area, it may be suffering from condensation, which can cause the camera to have issues like this. You can place it in a ziplock with a bag of uncooked rice for a few days. The rice will act as a dessicant to help draw out any condensation in the camera.

Any chance you dropped it?

Also just try leaving the batteries out of it and letting it sit that way for a few days. Sounds dumb, but sometimes works!

Good solution from James DeRuvo. However, it is still fail to solve your problem, likely cable connection between the major motherboard with small one not function. Check the connection with tester. If it doesn't problem, it can be on your switch on-off. Check again. I you find the trouble, repalce with the new new component or normal.
