Canon's troubleshooting tips (on page 156 of this manual) offer some good suggestions:

- Make sure the batteries are working/charged
- Make sure they are inserted correctly
- Make sure the battery terminals are clean
- Make sure the memory card cover and battery cover is closed

Also make sure the lens is attached correctly. If the camera still won't power on, contact Canon customer support for additional help.
