Everything works but no pictures. Batteries charged, flash ok, card OK. Just nO pictures taken.

Did you charge it at all during the 3 months? Did you store chair on a full charge? Check to see if batteries are dead. Batteries should be disconnected and/or stored on a full charge. If left connected they should be fully charge every week.

this link may help there is a good section on replacing batteries and doing self test again

Are you sure your camera is actually switched to use the card or it's internal memory. It's possible your card has become corrupted and only has enough room for 1 picture. The card can be reformatted but use the camera to do it, not your computer. When you format using the camera make doubly sure you have either external power applied or a good set of fully charged batteries on board.

If the power fails during a reformat you can ruin the card for good. Also, if you have a spare card which most people do, give it a try to see if it works OK. Unfortunately some cards don't last forever and can eventually die.

...Actually it probably says error code 020000...flash test.
Other error codes: 6 digits in codes:
left to right digits;
1- Battery Test 0= Pass; 1= Fail ( batteries have to be good and in place even if using power supply (100000)
2=Flash Test/ Flash Charging 0=Pass; 1= Fail (020000)
3= IR Sensor Test 0= Pass; 3= Fail (003000)
4= Camera Mod Test 0= Pass; 4= Fail (000400)
5= Memory Test 0= Memory o.k. or no sd card; (000000) 5= Memory Full (000050) 6= SD card locked (000060) 7= SD card damaged (000070) 8= Comms Error (000080)
6= Clock Test 0= Pass; 9= Fail (000009)
ALL SYSTEMS OK= 000000, GOOD

WHEN PERFORMING THESE TESTS, FOR THE FLASH TO TEST OK YOU HAVE TO COVER LIGHT SENSORS small glass items each side of lens.If you still have error, install good batteries, power on, drop batteries out, turn unit off, reinstall batteries and turn on again....if all this, you still have error, you probably have bad flash unit.

lol, ok...The memory card will only go in one way. But check the little white switch on the side of the memory card and make sure it is NOT in the locked position. Once this is taken care of reinstall the memory card. Now in you options/menu screen you can select on there where you want your pictures to be stored...Device / Memory / Auto. You can either put it on Memory or Auto (if you have this). In addition, you may need to format your new memory card. This is also in your menu screen to Format Memory Card. Go ahead and do this. But be forwarned...if you do this when you have pictures on your card, it will erase all of your pictures completely. If you do those things, everything should work fine. You don't need a full charge for your camera to work, but if you have rechargable batteries, it is recommended to fully charge your camera before use. If you are using standard AA batteries this isn't necessary. Oh, and when your memory card is in the camera you should see a little icon on your LCD screen that looks like a mini memory card. This is an indicator that the camera recognizes you have the memory card in the camera and along with that will be a counter...ie 4/1200. The first number is the amount of pictures taken on the card currently and the second number is the total possible pictures you can take on the card before it is full.

Btw, I’m available to help over the phone in case u need at https://www.6ya.com/expert/matthew_d24b835e574ef6ca

this sounds like a problem with the sd card either being corrupt and needing formating or being to large. if made in 07 or older it takes 512 mb sd card max if in 08 or newer it will take up to a one gig sd card.

Try resetting the camera. Go into the setup menu and find "reset".

Obvious answer to start with - Are the batteries fully charged? You may not have enough power for the flash to charge and to take the photo.

Could you need a new charger???

Thanks for your prompt reply. The problem has been solved!!!! I put in new batteries and the camera is functioning normally.!!!!!!! It seems the batteries in the camera were old ones and not fully charged. I think its safer to put in new batteries than to use recharged ones !!!!!!
Anyway, thank you once again and have a Happy Christmas.
Gratefully,
Ken
