Thanks for the info. Yes, a paper clip did the trick. There was a little small switch that, once depressed, the camera would come on. However, it's not really worth using the DC adapter. I can't get the lens to retract nor take any RAW images. I'm almost certain it's because of poor current from the power supply because using internal batteries, I don't have these issues. I was worried about battery life but after using the camera, I don't think I'm going to have to be concerned.

I'm not familiar with CHDK.  I'm going to assume it's a program that resides on the SD card and changes/ modifies camera function.  I really wish this camera had RAW file availability in AUTO mode.  So far, only the other modes offer RAW but not AUTO.
