Canon A75: Won't turn on

I bought a new Canon A75 a few weeks ago and it has worked great until
yesterday. I was shooting some pics off an on, turning it off each
time I was done, and I went to turn it on to shoot some more pics and
it would not turn on. I also noticed that the lens was not retracted
into the camera body like it normall does when it's turned off, and the
lens cover was also open. I tried new batteries (several sets) and
removing the CF card, but it will not power on.

This afternoon I tried something new. I put the mode switch into
'Playback' mode and the pressed the on/off button while I was also
depressing the 'Set' button. The lens fully retracted into the cmaera
body and the lens cover closed. But it still will not turn on. The
rear LCD stays dark. If I turn it on in 'Shooting' mode, the lens
partially extends the first time I press the on button. If I press it
a second time, the lens come out a little further and the lens cover
opens. If I press the on button again, the lens restracts a bit and
the lens cover partially closes.

I called Canon and they told me I need to send it to them for warranty
repair.

Any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks.
