 I've suddenly started having problems with my CoolPix. I turn it on, the lens extends, the screen illuminates for a second...goes black...and the camera turns off by itself. The batteries are good and I even took them out for a minute and reinserted them before trying again. It keeps doing the same thing. Anyone ever heard of this.

 Almost all the people who come in to my store complaining about their camera not working claim it has "new batteries" and are perplexed when I put in a set of good batteries and the camera works. Why does it work? Batteries.

I assume those you are using are AA alkalines. Get some lithiums or rechargable NiMh batteries for your camera. Alkaline batteries are a pathetic joke when used in most digital cameras because their current capacity is too low to cope with the camera's high demands. Reserve the alkalines for a radio or flashlight.

Why do camera manufacturers give you a set of alkaline batteries with a new camera? Because they are cheap.
