Question
I bought this camera in Dec. 2005. All of a sudden the camera does not turn on and the lense will not retract. We have put in several new sets of batteries with no change.
What can I do? Thanks
Cheryl,
Sorry... no good news. A "no power" gripe could be anything from a bad battery compartment to a bad processor. There is really nothing you would do without a test bench and the right tools. I would say send it in for repair, but unless you purchased an extended service plan, it will be out of warranty.
And it will cost more to get it fixed than it would be to replace it.
John

Expertise
I can answer questions about point and shoots and 35mm SLR`s from the 1960s to present. I can also handle most questions on digital cameras from "camera" makers, like Nikon, Olympus, Canon, Sony, etc. Though usually I`m not too familiar with the driver interface, as 3rd party devices for download are more efficient. Sorry, but I can no longer answer questions about the value of old cameras.
