Polaroid T - Recent Questions, Troubleshooting & Support - Page 9

There are several possible causes for "memory card locked", "memory card error", "card protected, or "no memory card". Some include trying to use of a 4GB SDHC card with an older camera made before SDHC format came out. Others include problems with the switch on the side of the card, or the switch internal to the camera. The problem may also arise from simple formatting problems if the card has never been formatted in the camera (note that this will also erase the card). Troubleshooting tips for this problem may be found at this link. (Pay particular attention to the section describing the tiny slide switch on the card).

To my knowledge, the t730 only supports sd cards up to 1GB. It doesn't support any bigger cards, nor can it read SDHC cards, which use a different compression to 'regular' SD cards. Hope that helps even though it's not good news. At least there is probably nothing wrong with your t730, you'll just have to stick to older SD cards.

Try a watch or jewelry repair shop.

If not the battery, In most cases, the camera is beyond economic repair. If the camera is a few years old, buying a newer one is a better option. I'm seeing brand name 10 MP models NEW for $60. you might check online auction sites for used ones. I've picked up 5 MP ones for $5.

The easy solution is to buy a small "card reader" that you stick your card in and then insert in a USB port to read it. You can check the site for drivers in their support section if you still want to use a cable.

Sorry but formatting completely erases the pictures.

Thanks for using FixYa.

Hello, please click this link to directly download the software drivers for your camera. Also try to use a different cable for that. Hope this helps.

Hello. When a digital camera will not stay on, it is a sign that the battery is low or that the battery is bad. Put the charger on the battery and see if this cures the problem. If it does not, you will have to purchase a new battery. J.

Sounds like the only thing you missed was ironing it. If, after burying it in a bowl of dry rice for a week to allow it to dry out, it works at all, it will be a miracle. You may have to accept this as a lesson learned. Good luck.

Formatting the memory card deletes EVERYTHING on the card, preparing it afresh for use. If you haven't done anything with the card since then, you may be able to recover at least some of the pictures on it. Remove the card from the camera, put the card into a card reader connected to your computer, and use file recovery software. I don't know what operating system you're running, so I can't recommend any particular program.

replace the flash tube. Its cut off and that's why not working.

Hi.

If the camera is not charging, there are three possibilities.

The camera rechargeable battery is gone.
The adapter is not working.
The battery charger board inside the camera is faulty.

A faulty battery would be the most common ocurrence. A simple way to test the battery is connecting it to a battery charger.
The adapter can be tested reading volts at its contacts.If the adapter is working, it must differ of no more than .5 V from values on specs.
In some case the camera internal charger circuit is faulty, in that case the camera must be taken apart and repaired by a technician.

Test also connecting the camera to USB and leaving connected to a computer overnight. Most polaroid will also charge from USB.

If that does not work, the problem is likely the battery itself. Take the camera to a local camera shop, and ask if they can test the battery before replacing it.

Alternatively call Polaroid to verify warranty status, and order the part.

Before replacing the battery, test the charger and if you DIY ensure that there is volts getting to battery contacts. This can be done jumping battery contacts and using multimeter to read volts at battery with door open.

SD and SDHC cards have a slide switch along one edge. The position farthest from the contacts locks the card, protecting it from writes. The position nearest the contacts unlocks the card. If the switch is already in the proper position, slide it fully the other way and then back again.
