Kodak Easyshare dx7440 won't close. I've removed the battery and replaced it with a fresh one and it still won't close. The manual recommends plugging it into a regular outlet with a device that was NOT included. What can be done?

PROBLEM - Camera will not turn on at all regardless of battery used. Happened after about 8 months of use. Kodak instructed me to send the camera in of warranty repair. MCU was replaced. The unfortunate thing is that I have the same problem again, 7 months later and I am guessing it is not a warranty repair this time.

remove you memory card

turn camera ON > Press Menu > go to setup menu> format internal memory>
take 1-2 picture > reconnect your camera to the computer>

if the camera will be recognized> reinsert the MMC> format the MMC > it will delete all your pictures including the corrupted ones

most of the time its just a MMC issue

good luck

If the camera has recently been dropped you may have lens damage that is preventing it from powering up. If it hasn't been dropped your problem may be due to corrosion on the battery contacts inside the camera which can prevent the full power of the batteries from flowing into the camera. Try this free fix before you do anything else: remove the batteries and wipe the camera contacts firmly with a dry cloth (heavy corrosion may require cleaning with a wire brush, steel wool, or sandpaper). Remove any residue that may have fallen into the battery compartment during cleaning, then wipe both ends of the batteries and place them back in the camera and give them a full charge (assuming that you are using rechargeable batteries). This cleaning clears the problem about 90% of the time. If it doesn't work for you, the camera may have a problem that requires professional repair.
