Olympus camera repair?

I have an Olympus 720 digital waterproof camera that won't power up. The battery is fully charged. Any ideas on what if any tricks there are to booting the camera or do I need to send it for repair? Any recommendations on repair places if that is the case?

    Well that sucks, I just bought a stylus tough and wow reading all the freaking reviews isn't making me happy. I think if you spent 200-600 for camera that's suppose to out stand everything it says it should, then everything should be replaceable for free just in case their bs-ing.

    anyway i read through the internet it says it cost $120 thats with shipping back to you with a 6 months warranty after the repair.

    you would would have to pay for shipping to send it and I guess through the website they have like a discount through usps. google olympusamerica.com and go to warranty or

    There is no chance anyone can repair that camera for less that it costs to replace. I have an DSLR Olympus that is barely worth repairing rather than replacing. Go out and get a new camera and just enjoy some updated features.

    Sorry I don't know much about camera repair.

    I will check with my co-workers and get back to you.

    For repair shops, I know you are in California but I am in Canada so that wouldn't really help.

    did u ever try just to take off the battery and set in on the side for like 5 minutes. that might help. i did that with my palm handset and it worked. my would not charge and now it does.
