Re: Not the battery door that's in question...

It's the memory card door.

Yeah, they both have a switch.

On that door it looks like there are two screws holding a small metal plate in place. It is possible that plate is covering a spring pin similar to a watch strap pin, which would make it relatively easy to repair.

Typically the switch is not with the hinge, it's pressed by a tab on the other end of the door. Look into the notches in the body corresponding with any tabs on the door, and you should find a switch that you can press with a paper clip to turn the camera back on. If that works, a replacement door is all you need.
