Try looking through the menu system for an item called Factory Reset or similar. This will remove all changes made since manufacture, without affecting photos taken.

It depends on what type of battery it uses. Some batteries once they have fully discharged are not able to recharge

try signing up to driverguide.com for the free basic account and see if it listed there Sanyo support in Europe is gone, I think it is due to some kind of restructuring. Online support is very difficult to find

Usually you just plug it into the PC and turn it on and the PC recognizes it as a camera device.

Not telling us what brand, model and OS off the phone does not help, not telling us what model camera you have only increases the difficulty to answer this. Please give more details, included what you want to achieve, why, (because you saw it in a manual, or just because you would like it and you are not sure it is possible) and what you already tried.

The lens is stuck. If you can't GENTLY pull it open, try lightly tapping the camera on a firm surface to see if it dislodges any debris. If that won't work it must go in for repair.

You mean an new cable with a new mini USB connector? Most camera's use an mini USB connector. try another cable, one you use with your phone or MP3 player, at least if the connector is the same.

That depends on the amount of internal memory, the compression rate, and the type of picture. Do you have a particular model camera in mind?

Since you've already tried different batteries, you have a couple of other options...

• Instead of plugging the USB cable into the camera's wall charger, plug it into the USB port of a computer, or even into a USB phone charger.
• Try another wall charger.
• Try another USB cable.

Here's the PDF manual for your camera, if you need it: http://us.sanyo.com/dynamic/extranet/servicers/VPCT1495.pdf (Page 16 contains info about charging the camera)

Look at your memory card. SD cards have a slide switch along one edge. The position farthest from the metal contacts locks the card, protecting it from writes. The position nearest the contacts unlocks the card.

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 management program such as Picasa ( http://picasa.google.com ).

How do I start recording on this VPC-S1415? No Manual! Frustrated! Please help! Thanks!

Always charge NiMH batteries before using them for the first time, or if they have not been used for a long period. 3 months can be very long for NiMH batteries. Do not use alkaline batteries unless it is absolutely necessary. In some cases, alkaline batteries may have a shorter service life than NiMH. Alkaline battery performance is limited, especially at low temperatures. The use of NiMH batteries is recommended. AA manganese (Zinc-Carbon) batteries should not be used.

Look in the menus and locate 'FORMAT' or Format Memory card'. Select it and re-format your memory card. this should clear the card of all content and reset it for you. If loosing the data on the card is not an option try recovering the photos by connecting to a computer card reader. Then clean the contacts and re-format the card in the camera, not the computer.
