My J1 camera suddenly doesn't turn on?

My Nikon J1 camera was working fine just a moment before, but when I charged my battery for a few minutes, it stopped working all of a sudden. The camera won't turn on at all. When I put the battery back on the charger, the charger's green light began to have an irregular twitching green light. Upon putting the battery back into my camera again, it still does not work. I've used the camera for months now, and this happened all of a sudden. What is wrong?

Still looking for the right camara for me

Yesterday I asked a question regading the above
Ok, so if I avoid the swivel screen, I still need a decent lens which I really am not particularly interested in changing, sports mode is a plus but not imperative to my photography, nevertheless, a camara that works very well in low light conditions as I dispise flash…
Basically, as before but less the swivel pop out screen.
Budget? Well, I'm amateur so well under 500$
I currently own Can powershot IS 8 mpx and I feel its time to upgrade
Want the Canon G11/12 (?). The GX1 seems overpriced and with little zoom (x5), I guess RAW is the reason…
Nikon as an alternative( as mentioned yesterday ) or even Olympus perhaps? ( not sure which thou' Pen series?
Many thanks again.
I value your opinions ( and those who wrote yesterday )

For people who know Pentax Digital SLRs?

I'm virtually brand new to Digital and Film SLRs, but I was hoping to dig a bit deeper into my photography. I put up a question involving what type of Canon or Nikon I might be able to use to take pictures of a few things, but I was pointed in the direction of Pentax instead.

In order to take pictures of the following, what types of lenses should I get?
-Aquarium pictures
-Small and large wildlife from far away and close up
-Pictures during the day and at night, in bright reflective light and in shadow
-Photos of people modelling

If I can find lenses that are compatible with the K-30, I'd be more likely to get more than one. Someone suggested I stay away from zooming lenses, so these were what I had my eye on so far:

-smc PENTAX DA 35mm F2.4AL
-smc PENTAX DA 50mm f/1.8
-smcP D-FA 50mm f2.8 Macro
-PENTAX 06 TELEPHOTO ZOOM

These are rather expensive, so if all I need are the 35, 50, and telephoto lens--then I can probably afford them all now, but I want to do this right. So if people think I should do the 35, 50, and macro lenses, then I will.

Added (1). That would be why I re-iterated the question in a fresh post. :3

I'm BRAND new to even semi-professional photography, so please bring this kind of thing to my attention.

I can nix the 35, 50 and telephoto, which leaves me with the macro. That's fine. I'll look into a 300mm lens that's good for wildlife, preferably with a zoom.

As for prices, yes I have compared things. I'm in so far over my head with all of these different specifications and what they do and what I need and what I don't, that I just want to find something a little better than a beginner's DSLR for me to take these kinds of photos with.

Looks like I shouldn't even bother with trying to set a price range until I take a class or something. These are so far beyond anything I understand.

Added (2). If the smcP D-FA 50mm f2.8 Macro is a better choice than the rest and I need a 300mm, it's already going to be huge. Will the smc Pentax DA 55-300mm f/4-5.8 ED work? As far as anything else I need (like for super close-up work right up against aquariums and such to get good photos of smaller fishes), do you have any suggestions?

How to fix the shutter on my Nikon EM film camera?

I have just put in a new film. I'm advancing it so it will start taking pictures. However, whenever I press the shutter release button the shutter closes to reveal blackness in the eyepiece and will not open until I take off the lense and press the metal bar to fix it. Is the camera broken or is there a way to fix this?

Also the batteries are new.

Should I sell my 18-55mm and 55-200mm lenses and purchase an 18-200mm lens?

I have the 18-55mm kit lens that came with my camera, as well as a 55-200mm lens I got as a gift one year. I know that Nikon sells an 18-200mm lens. I was wondering if I would be better selling my two lenses and purchasing this single lens that combines the two zoom lengths. I find it somewhat inconvenient having to switch between lenses when I want to take a shot of something far away, and then wanting a wide angle of the scenery or something like that.
So I was just wondering if selling those other two lenses and buying the one would be worth the effort?
