I plugged my digital camera into my computer and it made a funny noise for about 3 seconds until I unplugged it. Now it doesn't work.

You know that little beep they make when you do something like open it up/turn it on or if you erase a bad picture? Well it was that noise, just for a long time. It's never done that before.

It's an Olympus and it's one of those ones where you slide the cover away from the lens and the camera turns on. Now the camera doesn't turn on. A couple of the little lights come on for a second and something whirs inside the camera but then nothing. Darkness.

Does anyone else have a crappy Olympus camera and had this happen to you? Or barring that, any suggestions or ideas? Anyone? Bueller?

I've got a bad feeling that it's now a paperweight and I need a new camera. I also have a feeling (not as bad) that nobody will respond to this ultra-specific thread so I better add now that OLYMPUS CAMERAS SUCK (for several reasons, not just this reason).
