No you should alway store electronics that is not being used for a duration remove batteries
it you put the batteries in the freezer it also extends the life of the battery

The cracked screen is the whole problem Go onto Nikon's web page to get repair information.

Sounds as if the card is corrupted - you will have to use data recovery software.

Do more internet searches of your model. Sounds like the sensor chip died. Pretty expensive part. Could have not liked the salty environment or you are just unlucky. Do the search until you give up as there is a lot of info on internet. Cameras are getting pretty cheap now so if it is a little old or cheaper model, you may do better with a forced "upgrade".

try taking out the battery and re;install.lens should retract.if not,switch off camera and very GENTLY try to push in lens,while camera is still shutting down.otherwise have it checked by expert.

Push the cover toward the back of the camera and then toward the end, just as the arrow indicates, then the end of the cover nearest the end of the camera will swing open. Follow the illustration in the "Insert the Batteries" section of the manual (page 12 in my copy).

It probably refers to intellectual property protection i.e. copyright, trademark, patent etc.

Is there not a button with an icon of a bin next to it on your camera? You could also just hook your camera up to a computer, browse to the folder, select all the pictures and delete them like that.

Do you have a SD card in it are your batteries new and the right kind? Have you taken pictures with that camera before If you can answer yes to all those questions and you still have problems contact your vendor

best thing to do is send it in for repairs but if your confident in opening it up then just make sure you take note of exactly how you opened up so you are able to put it back together again and then carefully bend the pins straight or how ever they were originally remember if over bent you run the risk of snapping the pins and then you will have to (and this is not often very easy to do)source the unit and then have the skills of soldering and this is also not very easy

check the battery

you will need the usb cable to connect your camera to your pc and when you connect them the software should install either automatically or if the camera came with a cd you will need to insert the cd and install the software yourself then when you open the program that was installed it should give you an option to view the photos or to sync them with the pc and if this is not the case when you connect the camera if you open my computer there should be another drive where you see your C: drive

have you formated the card

This indicates that the built-in battery of the camera is damaged.(All digital cameras have a tiny built-in battery) Replace that battery and you'll be OK. Don't ask me how to do that change. Get the manufacturer to point you to the location of that built-in battery or put it to a service centre.
