The Casio Exilim is a "point and shoot" type of digital camera. It is considered to be an entry-level camera for beginners. If your camera won't turn on, there may be several reasons why. Most of the reasons have to do with the battery. Casio digital cameras have a removable lithium ion rechargeable battery inside. It needs this battery to power on. Another important component is the memory card, which stores the photographs. A problem with either of these two items can cause the Casio Exilim to stop functioning.
