Dead DMC-FZ30!!!!!

I was in love with my DMC-FZ30, having owned it for just 6 months, when all of a sudden it just stopped working! I changed the memory card, and when I put the new one in, the camera did not turn on and i have not been able to get it running again. I have taken out the battery and re-installed it (many times) but the camera is quite dead! Anyone have this happen to them and figured out how to get it working again? Of course, I am very, very frustrated! Thanks for your help!

Unfortunatelly You have to visit service. I had a similar problem with my FZ30 when I changed batteries. Something has happened with power supply inside camera. So you are not able to fix problem by yourself. After repair my FZ30 works properly with no any additional problems since 7 months

Your battery fried your camera. This usually happens if your battery is a third party product, or is damaged (wet, left in the sun, etc). It's 100% an internal power supply problem.
