So one day my DSLR stopped working, it doesn’t turn on anymore. I removed battery, recharged it to make sure it has juice but camera still doesn’t turn on.

I found a YouTube video suggesting to remove sd card, battery, lens overnight and should work the next day. But it didn’t happen for me. So i just let it sit there on its bag for 2 weeks. I completely forgot about it and today it started working again after putting the battery in and sd card.

What happened there?

    It wouldn’t surprise me if an accidental load of static electricity got inside the electronics. Would certainly take a while to dissipate through air, especially air trapped inside the device.

    Nevertheless, it might be worth trying grounding all the terminals that usually connect to the battery.
