The problem is a small toggle switch inside the keyslot where the battery access door goes into. I am not sure yet why it quits getting triggered, but taking the camera apart and bypassing this swich will fix the problem. You can check to see if this is your problem without taking the camera apart by opening the access door and sticking a small screwdriver into the keyslot and flipping (gently) the little white toggle toward the back of the camera and then turning the camera on with the power button. If it comes on then the switch is your problem. I assume they put this switch in to kill power when when the access door is opened so that the camera doesn't get double power when a usb cable is plugged in (I imagine you will FRY your camera if you bypass this switch and then forget and plug in the usb without popping out the battery pack). There are eight screws that hold the cover on the back of the camera, you have to pry out those little pink pegs and then you will need a triangle bit to remove the security screws to access the inside of the camera. The two wires (red and orange) are the two that need to be connected to bypass the switch. write on the bottom of the battert pack (remove before plugging in usb) if you do this modification so you remember to remove battert power before pluggin in the usb. If you don't know what you are doing then I would suggest letting someone with some electronics experience do this.

Last time I checked, those were just pretend.

Clean the battery contacts in the camera with a cotton swab lightly dampened with rubbing alcohol.

For a manual, try the Fisher Price website, you may have to go via their customer support link.

You should be able to plug one end of the lead into the camera, the other into your PC, switch the camera on, see if it says anything on the LCD.

If not, a window should pop up on your PC, asking you what you want to to, look in the folders.

If a window doesn't pop up, click on and open my computer, there should be an extra hard drive, may even be called Fisherprice, if there. click on, work you way down through the folders.

If still now, you can buy universal card readers, fairly in-expensive, take the card out of the camera into the reader, plug into your PC, look for spare hard drive.

To move photo's, copy and paste to a desired location on your pc hard drive then delete from the camera/card.

Same happened to me; turned out to be a corrupted filesystem on the camera. Solution was a bit mad - I've got linux on my PC so I used 'dd' to write zeros to the entire device ("dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb" in my case; check /proc/partitions to find what the camera has come up as). Next time the camera was turned on it sorted itself out. I used photorec first in 'brute force' mode to get the pictures off it/

There is no cd or program for this camera. You can upload the photos using the camera as a removable drive with the provided usb cable and use any photo software on your computer.
