Its a Sony Cyber Shot DSC-W120
The first few times i charged it, it was on a different computer.
Then, I didnt charge it for a while, or use it.
Yesterday, I tried to charge it on this computer, and it didn’t work,
So I took it back to the origanal computer and it didnt work. I tried to turn it on, but its too dead. It won’t turn on when its on the charger.

    If you have a cd with drivers for the camera try reinstalling them first off. ALso it sounds strange but this has worked for me on a older computer, just reset the computer, and after its started up close any visible background programs and attempt to try it. Also, delete your temp internet files/history/cookies, any bits help

    Your camera came with a charger. Are you saying that you don’t have the charger and are attempting to use the USB port to charge your cameras battery?

    One of the only things that can kill a Li-ion is leaving the battery discharged for over about 72 hours and the other is when the battery gets overheated during charging, usually when using a non-OEM battery chargers. Otherwise, a Li-ion batteries hold their charges longer than any other rechargeable used in electronic devices and can last over 5 years if treated correctly.

    You may have to replace the NP-BG1 battery and the charger if you do not have it any more.
