Resuscitated

Two days ago while out on my walk, I went to take a picture with my P&S  and it would not click.    At first I thought it was the batteries, so I install fresh ones, still nothing.  I googled  the problem and tried a few possible solutions, still nothing.  Well I remove the batteries put it back in it's case and forgot about it.  Today I came home and decided to try one more time.  Installed fresh batteries, press the power button,  Tah Dah!  Presto it works.  Took several shots, all good.  Not sure what happen, but I'm glad it's working,  I did not feel researching a replacement.
