What do you do if a red light keeps flashing when you try to turn on your camera?

== == State the type of camera, maybe a picture or two? Et cetera... Replace the batteries. The camera will then turn on ok.


The battery shows to be charged but when put in the camera will not turn on this is on a camera with recording apitek brand?

Too many things here are left unanswered.1) Does the camera turn on when a different battery is in it?2) Can you verify that the battery is good? {do you have a multi-meter or battery tester other than whatever is currently saying it is good}3)Assuming that other batteries do turn the camera on then properly dispose of the one that does not work, it is bad. IF the camera Doesn't EVER turn on even when the battery is good then your camera is broken. Otherwise:Best bet is to ask the make of company whats wrong, or take it to a camera store and see if they can help.
