Canon PowerShot A550 Digital Camera - Page 2 Questions & Answers
Can't turn camera on; batteries are new
possible solution:Remove memory battery (little gray cap next to the AA batteries. Got CR1220 stamped on it) and put it back in. This should do a reset. When you switch the camera back on it should ask for the date/time. Hope this works for you.
No memory card
What is your question? Do you not have a memory card and want one? Is the camera saying there is no memory card even when you have one inserted?

The problem could still be within the batteries, digital cameras are very demanding. For example, if an alkaline battery stops working in a camera, very often the battery is still plenty good, and will work fine in other devices such as a flashlight. So before you give up on it try a brand new quality battery, I like the modern rechargables.

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.

sounds like either a stuck aperture or you have the camera in manual mode and you need to adjust the setting of either the shutter speed, aperture, or the iso... try just putting your camera in auto and see if yuo still have the problem... if it is taking good pics at night then it is you aperture if you are in auto.. if it does not take good pics at night then it is a bad ccd

Canon Powershot A550 flash will not work it just blinks on & off?
Hi
There are several things that could cause this.
1- Check the battery door indicator switch under the battery door and beside the memory card slot. Is the little black switch damaged or missing? Try pressing down gently using a pen it with the door open and then press the power button. Does it turn on?
2- The fuse has blown and needs to be replaced. Offhand I don't recall where it is on the SD750 PCB or how hard it is to solder on a new one (depends on if its tricky to get at or not). Good thing is fuses are really cheap.
3- Other power problem with the PCB due to corrosion or impact damage. The PCB or 'motherboard' of the camera will need to be replaced.
My camera says
I have the same problem with my A550. Remove the batteries when not in use. Put them back only when you want to take photos to stop it from draining your batteries.
Hello, The flash on my
I have been trying to find a solution for hours, and then I found this page - http://camerarepair.blogspot.com/2007/11/simple-fix-for-dead-cameras-that-wont.html
I did what they suggested an removed the memory card before I put in new batteries, apparently it resets some old things that the camera is remembering. I did this, and now it flashes, no problem!
good luck!!
I can't take a picture with the flash.
My wife's A550 stopped its flash for no good reason. I put two fresh batteries in and there was no improvement. I then gave it a smal tap on our kitchen table - on the opposite side to the flash - and it started working again.
Perhaps it's the 21st century equivalent to kicking the photo copier when it did not work.
Good Luck
How to remove flat battery from canon power shot
Look at the little door labeled CR1220
in this picture. Pry it open with your fingernail, and take the battery down to your local drugstore to buy a replacement (should be around $3).. Note that W-mart for some reason is expensive for the common CR1220 battery compared to retail drug stores.
