Damaged Memory Card
Try using another approved memory card. First you want to turn off the camera, eject the memory card and then insert a new memory card. Make sure the card is inserted in the correct orientation otherwise you will get an error saying "unable to read card" on the LCD screen. Once the new memory card is inserted turn on the camera.
Card Not Correctly Inserted

Incorrectly Formatted Memory Card
Format the memory card using the camera or a computer. Connect the adapter onto the end of your memory card that converts it into the full size SD or MMC card. If you need a adapter simply click this link- http://goo.gl/adqSot . Then insert your card into the card reader and plug in the USB cable into your PC. After several seconds your memory card will be identified and then you want to right click and select "Format". Once you do that a dialog should pop-up and you click "Start". By following these steps you should be able to correctly format your memory card
Note: Make sure to backup any files in the memory card.

My camera was working fine last night but when I went to plug it into my computer it stopped working. I've plugged it in before with no issues. I changed the batteries thinking maybe the batteries died. But it still wont turn on..

The quality of the photos are very grainy. Not sure if it's just the camera quality or a setting, it seems like I've tried everything. Would love some help.

I had this problem and managed to fix it by going into settings>scene>image mode and lowered the setting then used it and raised it back up after a while. This managed to get rid of the issue.

I had an issue where the camera would not turn on and if it did, then it would be rarely at all. I attempted to replace the batteries, removing memory card, cleaning for sand and dust, and practically everything that has been recommended online. I was able to fix the issue by holding the preview pictures button (I don’t know the actual name of it but it looks like a rectangle with a play button in the middle) which turned the camera on to view the pictures. Then, I went into menu > clicked over to go to settings > and went down until I found “reset all.” Afterwards, I tapped the button that takes the picture and all the sudden it was good as new. It will turn on and off as it did before the issue arose. I don’t know if I just got lucky or this will work for others, but I wanted to share.
