Camera won't charge

I have a Nikon Coolpix P100, which will no longer charge the battery and therefore wont turn on. I have tried using both an AC adaptor and charging with a USB cord from the computer. I have 2 batteries and neither will charge so I don't think the battery is the problem. Before this issue started, I had noticed that my camera would go back to default settings every time I changed the battery which it did not previously do. Any ideas what the problem could be?

Sometimes, it's a case of the battery contacts not making full contact, the spring or foam that holds them tight gets old and doesnt do that so well anymore. Try using thin shims of cardboard to get it to wedge tighter when installed.

I think there may be a second battery or a capacitor inside the camera which has failed and could cause the loss of settings. I guess that could cause the camera to act like the main battery is low or uncharged.
