20 Most Recent Canon PowerShot TX1 Digital Camera Questions & Answers

The best way is to get a quote and then decide if it is cost effective to repair or buy another.

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 center 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.

Hi! Pretty much a circuit board problem. The circuit board may be faulty which can cause no display and menu access. You will need to have it repaired for this contains small internal components that needs an on hand repair by an accredited technician. Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa!

or even there is free space
del data from internal memory or move from internal to external memory

Just like a computer these cameras have a motherboard I call it. It has a chip on that board that cycles to what ever mode you set this camera to and it will operate correctly. It seems yours has quit so it would need a replacement part

Unfortunately digital zoom never works well. It's best to turn digital zoom off in the menu and never use it.
This is for any camera!

fletch552, this just happen to me. Ihave the same camera Canon PowerShot TX1. It started on 2009/Juneand finally broke on 2009/July. I had this camera for less than ayear and I take good care of it too. I am so upset. Since thiscamera is so new I suggest you try to contact the seller and if thatfails then go directly to Sony. I will keep you posted on whatworked for me. I started this process on 2009/July/18.

Thanks, Lindylex

Never buy a Canon camera again. I have the same problem, and sorry that nobody has a solution. This is the worst of the 3 Canon digitals I have purchased. Lack of a view finder makes it impossible to preview shot when outside on a bright day.

The card may be corrupted and unusable. Try with a new SD Card. If that doesn't work, you need Canon Service. Try formatting it in the computer, add images and see if you can see the images in the camera.

If the batteries are the same age as the camera, they are probably worn out. Try replacing them.

What did the error prompts?

So the pics vanished from the memory card, right? Perhaps you can insert the card to your computer and try a photo recovery tool on it. Give this app a try if you're a Mac user. Recover Digital Photo Music and Video on Mac OS
