One day I was using my camera perfectly well. There were no issues. I set it down and came back to it a few hours later. After that it would turn on, focus, but not take the shot. I would press the shutter release and it would focus, but when I press the release the entire way it will not take a shot. When I take the lens off and the battery out and replace both it will take one shot and then resume its previous problems. Also during this entire time (from when it starting giving me issues) the LCD screen never turns on. That was two days ago while I was in Seattle. Now that I have returned home, it will not even turn on at all.


I was thinking maybe it was a firmware issue. But with the camera not turning on at all, I cannot update the firmware. Can any of you think of any possible avenues to remedy this issue (besides taking it down to Canon Services)?


Thanks for any advice, guidance, suggestions you all may have.
