i just got a Canon Rebel XTi for x-mas, my parents bought it off of creigslist.com.
about an hour ago, i was testing out my new lens and went to take a photo then it shut off on me.
i tryed changing the lenses, changing the batterys, changing the CF card, checked to see if any things were bent in the CF card reader.
nothing will work and i don't know what to do,
im not even sure if my parents have it insured or if the warranty is still good.
H E L P !
this camera is my life and i'd be so sad if it never turns on again.
It was probably a malfunction in the camera itself if you tried a different set of batteries. Try returning it or take it to a camera shop so they can diagnose the problem.

2) make sure that the doors for the battery and the CF card are closed. If the camera registers those as open it won't power up at all.
3) try connecting the camera to a computer. Sometimes that can help.
4) make sure that your battery is charged, it may be dying but to charge it and put it directly in the camera may work for a few minutes.
Your camera should power on without a card in it, try that as well.
Neither is the lens required to power the camera, take it off too.
If all that fails, the mode dial on the camera has given me issues with my XTi. The short story on that one is my CPU board broke because I had a heavy lens on the camera and the mode dial is somewhat poorly placed. See if there's any play or movement in the dial that isn't normal. Wiggle it, turn to a different mode, press it down gently (don't cause more damage if that's what is wrong).
Good luck
