Hi you nead to replace the ribbon that connects your screen to the camera as that one during the use it will break .

the resolution of this camera is not very high, with only 3.1 megapixels. you can go to websites like fixmyvideo.com to improve the video, but to get better quality in future videos I would suggest buying a camera with more megapixels. 7 or 8 megapixels are relatively good and you can get a camera with that many for about $90.

While at library, do a search for the contact information you need, or you can call the library reference desk and they will look up the contact information for you for free. Didn't the device come with a manual that includes contact info?

Call your local library, they will be able to look up the contact information for you, free.
