When trying to take a picture or record a movie, the screen is a solid light pink.

It was bought from a yard sale earlier today. Its previous owner said that it works perfectly fine. It didn't come with a memory card (SD) or batteries. Some fresh batteries were put into it as well as an SD card. The SD card was borrowed from a Nintendo DSi portable game system, and held pictures before it was put into the camera. When the playback button is pressed, those photos will show on the screen with nothing appearing to be wrong with them. The menu and all of its features are accessible as well. But, if you want to take a picture or record a video, all that the screen shows is a light pink color. If you press the shutter button and the camera is set to flash, it will flash, but the picture doesn't come out any different than the screen.

Try an sd card from another source. the format function of the camera should be used to prepare the sd card for the camera before you take pics with it. this may be a format issue with nintendo. format will erase all images on card, so save them first somewhere else.

SOURCE: No picture is taken when shutter release button is pressed

Are those NiMH batteries? Have you tried resetting the camera? If no standard way, just take out batteries for a few minutes, the more the merrier, let the tension build, and replace them. Try tapping on the lens area, it might loose something up. Best I can do, know it aint much ;] Good luck!

Can you play back pictures and is the quality of these ok ? If you can but there is no image in capture mode then the CCD sensor is faulty and needs replacing.

Hello and thank you I just brought this at a yard sale and I pluged in but no sounds come out what 1am I doing wrong tried with the wire Red and white one and nothing can u tell me what missing

They may have been some slight water damage, or dirt could be making the speaker malfunction. If you bought it at a yard sale, how sure can you be that the previous owner kept it in pristine condition before reselling it? If there was any damage near the battery, that could be the source of your problem as well.

Xbox 360 dreaded Pink Screen...is it getting ready to die? TV is fine, movies are fine its just when games are being played. The screen is not solid pink, but the detailed aspects of the game are fuzzy...

I am afraid it might be going, I would try disconnecting the video cable and leaving it off for about a day. If that doesn't work, I would contact Xbox support, see what they say, and go from there.

Need security code for lg shine cu720 bought it at yard sale

Wow, I wish I could find cool yard sales like that. The factory LG code is 0000, unless the previous owner reset it to something else. If you can find that out no problem, if not, only your cellular service provider can reset the code for you.
