Why won't my screen turn on?

I charged the battery on my camera, but when I press the power button nothing happens. Is my battery damaged?

Put pressure on the battery, I’m putting pressure and the screen now turns on. Maybe put something between the battery cover and the battery.

If the battery isn't the problem and you're sure the camera is turning on, check the ribbon cable between the screen and the motherboard and the screen itself. Unfortunately, both of these require opening the case. Be careful, and good luck!

I'll suggest examining both the battery and flash card door making sure they are in contact. If that doesn't fix it, I'll buy new batteries and see what happens. And if after all these, this problem still exists, then the problem is likely to be internal to the camera.
