MY DSLR took a crap. HELP

My Canon Rebel XT of 4-5 years finally took a dive on me and it stopped working. It wont even turn on anymore. I tried several different batteries to make sure that wasnt the case but it still wont respond. Anybody have any idea what it may be? Also, any suggestions where I could get it fixed? I called some local Photo places but none do repairs . I'll probably get a new one in March/April but I have some upcoming trips that Id like to take some pictures of.

 

where in cali are you

 

I'm in Orange County

 

i know theres a one or two repair shops up here in bakersfield but I don't know if you like to dive about 2hrs to get it repair

 

Try cleaning the contacts of the battery with an eraser. If that doesn't work, you won't fix it on your own, just take it in. I've never been able to fix cameras.
