Have a Nikon Coolpix L105 camera and I was told to put it in manual mode by turning dial to M this camera does not have that and I can't take pics

If the playback of old pictures are fine but camera mode displays lines across, you may have a defective CCD chip. These are expensive repair averaging around $110. Some local shop may able to repair it. Good luck -James. For further assistance by email, go to www.camerarepairjapan.com

i had the same problem try this: tap the outside of the dial lightly while turning the camera on it should basically "pop" right out!!!!!!!!;)

SOURCE: I dropped my Nikon Coolpix 4300. The camera will

It is probably a connection problem. I removed the 9 screws from the bottom and 2 sides of the camera, opened it slightly and snapped it shut after looking within.. The problem cleared. Bring it to the service center if you feel you can't put it back together again after you open the case. It is not a card issue.

Return the camera right away, it is clear this is a manufacture defect, nothing more can be done.
