Question
I bought this camera back in 2000/2001 so any warranty on it has probably expired. Right now it doesn't turn on at all and i have no idea how to go about fixing it. I don't know what could have caused the problem - the types of batteries? constant traveling and going through security checks at airports? I'm pretty sure i didn't drop it so i have no clue what's going on. Thanks for your help in advance.

Answer
Adele,

 Sorry my friend.  There is no real advice to be given.  There is no way to troubleshoot a problem like this over the net.  I'm sure you've tried the obvious....  change batteries and clean battery contacts??  When a camera won't even power-up there is not much you can do.  Aiport checks won't hurt it.  If you used NiCAD batteries, that could have damaged it, but I'm sure you didn't do that.  It is possible you just used it to death.
