The problem may be with your battery charger rather then the battery itself. I don't know if you are charging your battery in the camera or with a separate charger. In either case I would buy an external charger. If you don't want to spend Nikon money. Adorama.com has several models in the $20 range. Try charging your battery in a new charger. If that does not solve the problem, there may be a short circuit in your camera's electronics that is draining the battery. If that is the case, contact the Nikon USA Service Center (look on the Nikon website) for a repair estimate.

DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT UNLESS YOU HAVE TRAINING! If you take your camera apart without proper training, you will never get it back together and it will cost more to have a camera repair man reassemble it for you then it will cost to have him fix it before you play with it.

Recuva (pronounced "recover") is a freeware Windows utility to restore files that have been accidentally deleted from your computer. This includes files emptied from the Recycle bin as well as images and other files that have been deleted by user error from digital camera memory cards or MP3 players. It will even bring back files that have been deleted from your iPod, or by bugs, crashes and viruses!

• Put the memory card into an USB card reader and plug it into the USB port in your computer, then run the Recuva program.
• Simple to use interface - just click 'Scan' and choose the files you want to recover

You can try to reformat the sd card. Sometimes cards will contain data that disrupts the reading process.
Also, sometimes if you edit images on the pc, such as rotating them in Window's image viewer, it will rewrite the image as a jpeg that is unrecognized in the camera.
Lastly, check to see if the photos are being saved to the sd card or the camera.

Try NOT connecting your camera to your computer. The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries. Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive, the same way you copy any other files. Or you can use any photo management program such as Picasa ( http://picasa.google.com ).

You will probably have to put the card into your computer and do it from there.

Hello

The problem is that the lens has become stuck in the barrel. There are some DIY solutions you could try, but the probability is that you will have to get it fixed by a professional.

Use these at own risk as it may further damage the camera.

Firstly , try connecting your ac adapter or usb cable.

Try holding the shutter button while switching on the camera.

Look at the lens , and if some of the lens 'circles' is misaligned or not concentric then try wiggling it (while holding camera lens down).

Try gently pushing or pulling the lens when it extends but this is risky as it may cause the lens barrel to slip out of its guidance system.

Another way to do this is to place the camera lens down on a hard surface and then power it up. Be sure to use a soft cloth or something similar as to not scratch your lens or casing. Let the lens push the camera up and down a few times and sometimes the little resistance provided by the camera is enough to get things going again.

Try hitting your camera near the lens on the body with the soft tissue on the palm of your hand.

Other than that , I would take the camera to a repair centre for a evaluation to see if it would cost more to repair than to replace the camera.

If it is still under warranty I would suggest you take it in before trying any of these steps and remove any off-brand batteries or accessories as some stores are really fussy about warranty repairs on camera's with non-brand accessories.

Hope the advise is useful. please do not hesitate to let me know if you need any further assistance. Also, please be so kind to let me know if you found this helpful.

If you mean the lens (the barrel that's supposed to extend from the body), try these procedures.

Remove the battery for 15mins, replace the battery then open the camera's menu and set the Date & Time.
