Nikon Coolpix L840 won't turn on consistently?


I've had my Coolpix L840 for about a month or so. It's worked great, no problems until now. However, in the last few days or so it's stopped turning on. When I press the on/off button, the green light will blink a few times, but the camera won't turn on. Sometimes, after I've left it alone for a couple hours or a day or so, it'll turn on one time, but the next time I try it does the same flashing light and not turning on.

There's a small chance a drop of water or two got in the camera (I was taking pictures of a small creek near my house), but I don't think that's what happened.

If I don't get this resolved, I plan to return the camera as it's still within the "90-Day Guarantee." Any ideas on why this is happening or how to fix it?
