Fuji 5000 problem

[Shimshams]

Hi all, I'm new to this site and hope you can help. I have a s5000 that was working perfectly until today. Now it wont start up at all. Batteries changed for a fresh set, mains adapter tried and still no joy. It hasnt been dropped or hit since last used to view some pictures taken previously. Anyone else suffered from this? The camera now shows no signs of life at all.
Thanks in advance.

Just a quick update on the s5000 non startup problem. Camera was returned to Fuji repair dept (UK) and a quote for £99:50 to repair camera was received.
I authorised the repair and it was completed and returned in less than a week. Great service except that they now seem to want £122 for it.
Problem : a power board needed replacing cost £55 + vat and 30 mins labour.
This now brings the cost of repair upto about a half a replacement camera would have cost. The new camera would have also have had improvements in pixels / image size. I would advise that you think carefully if yours goes wrong.

Hi ,
If you have a fuji power supply, remove the battery and connect the external power supply turn the 5000 on .
If it now works , are the lips of battery maybe the problem
