I use pl70. i am having problem downloading my pictures. when i connect my camera to my computer i do not see my pictures, i have even tried inserting the memory card directly to my computer and i still cannot view my pictures. but with the memory card in my camera i can view my pictures. i have tried copying the pictures from the phone memory to the card and i get error message saying no files in my device.

Most likely the actual charger unit has failed and is not supplying power to the cable or LED, therefore no charging will be possible. Buy a new charger unit.

Try NOT connecting your camera to your computer.


The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries.


Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive, the same way you copy any other files. Or you can use any photo cataloging program such as Picasa.

To download the pictures you need the driver for the camera ...this can be downloaded from the support site if you do not have it ..but from what you said it seam that the issue may be of other cause..
The camera need to be powered and on ..in the moment you connect it to the computer ..and also you need to confirm the pc connection from the camera in the moment you connect ti .make sure you have its driver installed .
Try to connect in a different usb port ..cause even if the driver is missing the computer should react on the usb device being plugged and ask for the driver.
If no port will react ..try the camera oin another computer ..and like I said always make sure it is powered and on ... If it makes no reaction in another computer ..than something is wrong with the camera .Another method to download the pictures..is to use the card from the camera directly into a card reader and copy the pictures from it ..
here is a link for the driver if you need it ..

this is teh picture browser it uses...be sure you select the operation system you run ..and also make sure you download the full program first and the upgrade after ..cause the update download may not work without the original one ..(down on the list ) ..
Good luck !

Does the camera have a reset botton should be a small hole with reset written by it try there first.

Try and find your camera's driver to download on your computer. Or upload your pictures using your SD card, and not direct through your USB camera.

Mine just did the same thing. It is frozen on and stopped working while I was trying to change the flash setting. Even the image of what I was pointing at is stuck on the screen. Mine is only about 3 months old. I tried holding down the power button and it did nothing. Taking the battery out and putting it back in worked. I hope this doesn't happen again!

Try removing the memory card and inserting it again.
Also, does the computer detect the camera properly?
