The first thing that comes to mind is to clean the battery contacts, both on the battery and in the camera.

I'm not familiar with this particular model, but it might be worth trying to power up the camera from the usb without a battery in the camera. Depending on the design, this may not work anyway, but if it does it would indicate that your battery(s) are faulty.

When you say you have tried other charged batteries, are these your own batteries or batteries from a known working camera?

Thanks for replying Kypfer

I have other Samsung NX cameras, with compatible batteries. I try different batteries, that were charged, and they didn't work either. I try to connect the camera to the USB with no battery, but that didn't work also. What is strange,is that the off, on switch seem to do anything. I mean, the light turns red, immediately after I connect it to a USB port, but when I change to the "on" position, the light continues to stay red. The switch doesn't seem to influence nothing I also try the battery on other cameras and it works... Could it beĀ  a switch malfunction? How can I test it? thanks
