I dont know how many of you have the Rebel XTi but mine has a serious issue right now. I got my XTi mid feb of this year and its taken about 2000 photos. on april 18th it just shut off and wont come back on. Ive tried to change the lens,memory card, and the battery but it still wont turn on. am I missing something here? Is there a reset button on it? Only thing I havent changed is the little lithium battery inside it. Ive already downloaded the form to send it back to canon but Im having trouble finding my reciept and I didnt fill out my warranty card (im blonde). I purchased it from circuit city but they only have a 14day exchange policy so Im stuck with sending my new baby to VA. grrrr...anyone else have(or know of) any issues with the XTI? I have the XT (my first dslr) and have had it for 3 years without any problems.

I can't tell from your post if you tried a NEW batery or not. That's the first thing I'd try.
You can also try cleaning the battery contacts on the battery and the camera. Try a pencil erasure on the shiney silver parts on the battery and inside the battery compartment.
If that doesn't work, tyr taking to a camera specialty store, maybe they can see what's going on with it. You'll get a little bit more knowledgeable person there than at Circut City usually.
Good luck. |

| Because it just died suddenly, I doubt it is a battery issue. Sounds more like electronic problems something shorted out or burnt. Best to send it in for repair. You should have some kind of Factory Warranty in effect. You may have to pay for some or all of the shipping but at least you are guaranteed a working camera upon return. |
