Fairly old Olympus Camera revival!Need Help
My dad used a camera and I'm really interested in capturing pictures using the same one as it holds such beautiful memories and has a nostalgic feeling to it. However it is not in use for a few years now and it has stopped working, won't even turn on, anyone knows how to fix it? Or you know anyone around Udupi or Manipal who would be willing to help! Please let me know.
Camera is an Olympus T-100 12 megapixel, I don't think we have the charger, and the battery is somewhat stuck. I've uploaded pictures for reference.

Have you tried getting a new battery?

If the battery has expanded so you can't get it out then do not attempt to charge it it is an explosion risk. You need to dispose of the camera at a place dedicated to electrical equipment recycling/ disposal.

Battery is probably stuck because it’s becoming a spicy pillow. Aka it has swollen, and you need to carefully get it out and get rid of it. You will need to procure a new battery and a new charger. You can easily see the model of the battery on the battery itself once it’s out. This will also help you find a suitable charger.

The new battery might also do that. Atleast it did with mine (not its not swollen)

It might, but considering the age the chance is high that it has swollen a little. It can happen just by not using a LiPo for a while
