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?

    One protip, with which I’ve resurrected countless laptops and even a server:
    Shut it down, pull the power chord, remove the battery (or hold down the battery reset button on modern laptops), then hold the power on button for a couple of seconds.
    It’ll drain all capacitors and remaining voltage.
