Hi,
My Canon EOS 60D is about 10 months old. Can't get it to switch on - have fully charged the battery but it just flashes empty. Bought a second battery same thing.The battery door closed, tried with lens on and off, still nothing.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Es esta una buena pregunta?

Try this:
Turn camera off. Remove lens, battery, memory card.
Press and hold down shutter release for 30 seconds.
Insert in following order:
Insert battery; try turning on camera; if no response, turn camera switch to off again go to next step;
Insert Lens; try turning on camera;
Should be working at this point. If you now insert the card and get the same problem again, try a different card. Also try formatting the problem card.
My card wouldn't format in a PC but did successfully format with the camera.
As the Canon tech explained, this process clears the camera of any corrupted data and error messages. It is often caused by cards that are not functioning optimally.

holy sh!t... thanks man this is brilliant!
kinda worried my camera is already dead after not being used for over 1 yr!
You're welcome. I've also found that sometimes "bad" memory cards just need the electronic contacts to be cleaned with a soft dry, lint free cloth.
Brilliant! I had exactly this problem, and it worked first try!
Seems to have done the trick. Amazing! You saved me a panic and turning into a grumpy and foul person. I use my camera a lot - it would be quite a blow to be without it. Thanks so much!
Thank you so much, your answer just help me to fix my camera this morning and save me from anxiety.🤗

When you say "flashes empty" is that the flashes on the charger? If it's blinking slowly on multiple batteries then it isn't charging them correctly. If something is showing up on the camera screen when you switch it on, then I think you can rule out the battery door as the problem. If I recall, the camera won't do anything if the door isn't shut properly. Look and make sure the contacts for the battery inside the camera's battery slot is clean and has no corrosion issues.

My Canon 60d camera mode dial always switch it self whenever am not operating it why?
hi i've the same problem as well ,i believe is the door sensor .if i just place the battery in it will not flash but once i close the door it start to flash and I'm still looking for and answer.

It sounds like your door is working correctly. When you close the door it changes the state (no light to blinking light) which means the camera is detecting the door was closed. This moves you more towards it being another issue in the camera.

Hi,pull the board and test all connection points on board and body.fix any problems,it doesnt take much to break a trace.microscopes are great but a mag glass will do.look for cracks on board.Thats where i would start.

My Canon 60D often does not come on when putting back the battery. So i take a small piece of paper and wedge it between the battery and side case so that battery sits firm in its sitting area.. I have to do a few attempts to get this work. Once the battery is sat right in the battery area it works. Basically the battery does not make good contact with the connectors.
When using sometimes I have re-open battery door and just move the battery a little and it comes back on again after closing the door.
2nd Canon camera I've had that done this..

Yes original battery that came with the camera.
I have the same issue, in my case i had bought a used canon 60D, i used it for 1 year or more on the original battery, then i bought a new battery which was an A class copy of the original, but only 25 % the price of original battery, after using that for about 3 to 4 month, now camera doesn't tern on, it shows on empty battery signal, i have bought another battery but same issue, i think there is some intelligent chip inside which can recognise batteries other than canon , may be

There is something fundamentally wrong with a camera that, at least used to be expensive, which will not function due to the precision in closing a compartment door.
