Re: Did you remove the lens cap?

Yes. I've tried it with the lens cap off and the lens cap on. Still nothing.
I've tried a different battery and I've reinserted the memory card. Nothing.
As I said, the lens will pop out when I hit the on button, and it will retract back in when I hit the off button, but nothing else is available. I cannot see anything in the viewfinder or on the screen, and none of the buttons work (other than hitting the playback button, which retracts the lens, but does nothing else.)

Okay, since it's new and you have tried a different batt, try a different mem card, just to be sure (I had a similar issue not with my G1X3, but with a Pana cam, many years ago.)

If you still get the same result, I would suggest that you return the cam for a refund or exchange.
