SOURCE: turning off after taking a picture with a flash

Sorry but that is just because the flash is recharging.. It turns the screen off so it can charge the flash faster.. No worries it works fine :)

SOURCE: I cannot activate Nikon Coolpix S210 (problem with ON/OFF button)

had a similar issue with my Pentax, it would power on and power back off. Tried playing with it for a while and it never recovered. Chances are its time to replace it. These new electronics are jam packed with lots of mini moving parts and are prone to excessive wear over time. they're are no servicable parts inside them unfortunately. I would try ebay for a reasonable replacement camera.

SOURCE: my nikon s8100 won't turn

It means it has a bad battery since it recognizes power using a different power source. Replace the battery and it should work fine.

Not charging

The chances are that the battery has failed. The age of the device would indicate that the battery is probably NiCd - these batteries have a memory effect that means after a while the battery thinks that "fully Discharged" would be the state that is the most usual for the charger to be used most often. You will need to open the device to get the battery out to find the part number. You will then be able to order on from an online retailer.

Camera won't connect to computer

Make sure the camera is on, and the selector is on the 'setup' spot. Batteries should be fresh, and a memory stick should be in the camera.
What does the manual say?
You can also have the computer search for recently attached hardware.

I have recently taken pics at three different stage shows for children. The lighting was bright on one but the other two there wasn't a lot of lighting. I have a Nikon D40X with a SB-600 flash on. ...

Red-eye is caused by the light from the flash reflecting from the back of the eye. There are several ways to eliminate or at least reduce the effect. One, as you've done, is to edit the photo after it's been taken. The red-eye reduction feature of the camera shines a light at the subject, causing the pupils to contract and thus reduce the reflection from the eyes.

A good way is to move the flash away from the camera. This causes the red reflection to go toward the flash, not the camera. Unfortunately, the D40x lacks the Commander mode to control remote flashes. Instead, you can use something like the SC-29 cord to move the flash away from the camera.

Another possibility to consider is to not use the flash at all. Bump up the ISO and see whether there's enough light for existing-light photography.

Brand new out of the box Volitation 9053 wont take a charge. Charger never goes green to indicate full charge. At most I get 5-10 seconds of weak spin and then the red light on the ECS board flashes. ...

If this is a brand new item out of the box, if this were my item, I would send it back for an exchange. The charger never turns green because the battery never gets a full charge. Because of that you won't get a 7.4volt reading out of the battery, Either the battery is not taking the charge or the charger is malfunctioning and not charging proper. The lights may work for a bit while the motor won't spin because a light takes far less voltage than turning a motor. Because you don't know if it is the battery or charger and it is new I have to suggest to take it back. The sooner the better. Messing with it will just void the warranty.

Regards, Tony
