Hi,

I am sorry to hear regarding the trouble. This is a common problem on these models. It is either a faulty CCD sensor or LCD panel. If this is a problem while taking new images,however old images are still perfect - this indicates a problem with CCD sensor unless this is an indication of faulty LCD panel. Unfortunately, in both situations, repair is never advisable as the cost of repair would be high as compared to cost of the camera. It would be wise to invest in new camera. Be advised that if it is faulty CCD sensor, there were few recalls in the past for old models.So, it would be worth giving a call to their customer service and ask whether there is any recall or not. If not, they might offer a replacement in lieu of this camera at a highly discounted price.

Let me know,if needed further assistance.

Hope i helped you.

The advice is ascertaining whether the camera is still in warrantee phase by contacting the manufacterer. An entire replacement plan is arrangeable that way rather than attempting repairs alternately. The manufacturer is able to provide technical expertise most of the time since they may be the only onces with tools to the device or even spare parts acquireable nowhere else on the market. Also, attempting to repair may cause extensive damages later beyond warrantee agreements or even technical expertise. Simply contact manufacturer, else a technical expert, else discard and purchase a new once if so much inconvenience if asumed of the whole process.

If it is clear in your camera LCD but looks out of focus once you download it to a computer, check if you have enabled close up shots, the one which looks like a flower near the menu button, you have to disable it. Pleare refer to the manual or closely watch the panel buttons. Once you disable close up shots then the pictures you take after that will be good.

If this is not the case we have to check on the autofocus options.

The blinking light on the charger indicates that the battery needs to be replaced and will not charge. You can buy a replacement lithium battery online at sites like Amazon for less than $10.

Here's the easiest and most fool-proof way. Get a card reader. Insert your card into the card reader and the other end into a USB port on your computer. One of the following will happen: windows will open a dialog box and offer to open the files for you, an icon will appear on your desktop that you can double-click on to open the card or a removable drive will appear in "my computer" that you can double-click on. Once the card is open to the files, select them all by clicking ctrl a and then you can drag and drop them into a folder you create on your desktop or into "my pictures".Here's a card reader that's only $13 at Walmart.

Press the MENU button. Select the Setup menu (the wrench and hammer icon). Select "Backup".

No. Connecting the camera to a computer drains the battery since the camera has to communicate with the computer. Use the supplied battery charger to charge the battery.
