Why not just read the media card via a card reader attached to your computer ?

Although you could use Alkaline batteries, it is recommended you use NiMH rechargeable batteries. They can deliver twice as much power to the camera. You shoot twice as much pictures with one charge and you can charge them almost 1000 times if used with care. Then Alkaline batteries don't perform in cold weather, second reason to use rechargeable batteries. Still any battery can go flat some time. Never use manganese (Zinc-Carbon) batteries in your camera. They can't deliver enough power and can start leaking, causing damage to your camera. Then there is another reason the camera can drain the power very quick. When the contacts are not clean and shiny, the build up a resistance, making the camera believe the voltage of the battery is low. So check the contacts from the batteries and in the battery holder of the camera. If the are not clean and shiny, only clean them with a cotton swap or a dry cloth. Never use anything sharp in or close to a camera.

If it is still under warranty you need to follow the manuals instructions for repairs, if you just bought it then return or exchange it for a new one. If is in not under warranty or still return/exchangeable; you need to contact Kodak from the number in your manual and they will tell you what to do.

You don't need any special software in order to use your camera.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, despite what I said first, you can use any photo cataloging program such as Picasa.

John this is going to need looked at to determine the malfunction.

Don't understand question, the ribbons have a tiny lock slider if that is what you are asking.

Hello Buffy, The problem could be a dead or defective battery, a bad connection in the camera, a faulty switch. Hard to tell, Have it looked at by tech.Best Regards, Russell

It appears you've knocked the camera lens barrel out of it's guides. On the outer rim of the lens barrel are small channels which match with metal pins sticking out of the barrel guide (the part of the camera where the lens slides into on switch off) I've seen people tell others on the Net to bash the camera with lens down on a hard surface. PLEASE, PLEASE don't do that. It may work once in a thousand tries but it will more than likely make the problem worse and even snap the metal pins off or scar the barrel for good.

I'm afraid it sounds like a definite trip to the repair shop. Its certainlý not something you should attempt yourself unless you feel confident you can handle extremely complicated and extremely fiddly work. I purchased probably 20 broken cameras to work on before even attempting opening a customers camera and of course they are all different. Your camera requirers a complete pulldown as the lens is the last item to be extracted. I pulled apart over 50 lenses and then got them reassembled before daring to do the same to a customers and fell confident about it. So your camera deserves a good tech who knows his stuff. I always worked under the rule "if it's not fixed you don't pay" but I doubt if there's too many around anymore. Maybe that's why I'm not dring a Ferrari.

you have 2 options: if you really are skill for to do something with electronics. you can open the camera and proceed with exchange the lcd screen.,use the common sense and fix it.2) if you are skilled go to the repair shop for fix it.God bless you
