My SL40 Camera will not turn on even with fresh batteries, is there anywhere in the Palm Springs Ca area that can repair it?

Perhaps it has something to do with the connection from the batteries to the device? I would make sure the battery holding area is clear of any debris and try again. That, or you could look into the power button itself. The connection on the power button might not be getting a good enough connection to turn the device on.
