Camera won't turn on, card access lamp won't turn off. What's wrong?

I bought this camera about a month ago for a trip and about two weeks ago it stopped working. I took the memory card out to upload photos and the battery out to charge and when I put them back in the camera wouldn't turn on but the card access lamp turned on and remained on until I took the battery out. Help please! I am in Australia and have no camera until I solve this problem.

Try resetting the camera. Or take the battery out overnight and then put it back in. Start w/out the card. If you can, reformat the card using a card reader and your computer. I'd use a card recovery utility like F Recovery to do it. Then, try to put it back in and see if it happens. Woudl'nt hurt if you downloaded and installed any firmware updates as well.
