canon rebel xs issues
 

i have a rebel xs that i bought used and it started acting up, it currently will not turn on unless i first remove and then re install the battery, then it will work perfect untill i turn it off, then i need to remove the battery again or it wont turn on.

has anyone had this issue? does anyone know someone who could repair it? canon no longer supports servicing the XS

Do you have a spare battery? try a different battery.

yes ive tried 3 batteries and a different charger

I would think there are camera repair shops around. How much it'll cost you... who knows

How do the battery connections look inside the camera?

probably the door isnt click shut right or coming loose

battery connections look good, theres a canon repair facility only like 40 min from me i think so i may just take it there and see what they can do

i thought that too so i held the switch down with a paper clip and tried it and it still didnt work i think its something internally wrong
