My6 kodak p880 will not turn on. battery is charged

The best way to do this is to fine a kodak certified service centre close to you for the P880 and a Fuji certified service centre close to you for the S20 Pro. But first ask them what they will charge you, because lager is expensive and it could cost almost as much as a new camera.

The P880 can use SD cards (NON SDHC) up to 2 Gb.
It supports FAT16 filesystem, so 2 Gb is the max.
If you frequently use RAW or TIFF you might want to use the fastest you can get (150x)

Hi,

Go to www.dpreview.com and Kodak Talk. Search the forum for "P880 Power Switch problem".
Problem can be solved with the use of WD40. Read the solution on Kodak Talk first!!!

Hope you'll succeed!

Hi stanleychen1,

Did you upgrade the firmware to v.1.02? This should solve this problem. The upgrade can be obtained at the Kodak support site.

Hope this helps.

Hi mfkcolumbus,

Did you check the firmware version? If it's not v. 1.02, then get it at the Kodak support site and flash that firmware to your camera. If it is 1.02, then you may try to reflash that same firmware. Sometimes this helps strait'n out things.

Hope this helps.

Retry the Firmware upgrade.
Format the SD card in the camera afterwards.

P880 is no longer produces therefor no repair is available due to shortage of spare parts. But a Trade up option is available.

Contact KODAK:

The only possiblity you can use is do a Firmwareupdate. You can find it and an explanation how to do a Firmwareupdate here.

When this not help, it's an hardware problem and the microphone of the camera is defect. When you't lucky you can let repair kodak the camera. You should contact the kodak service to ask for repair costs, because this is a very good cam, you bought.

use WD40 or contactspray around the powerswitch after removing the battery.
then work the switch for a number of times

Try taking the battery out of the camera and clean the contacts with an eraser. Do it for the contacts inside the battery casing as well. Be sure to blow all the eraser rubbings out of the inside case and clean then off the battery contacts. Put the battery back inside the camera. With any luck, it may now work.

I have tried numerous avenues including email solutions from Kodak and possibility of reinstalling the firmware but none worked. I fully believe the problem lies in the power switch - it is no longer making proper contact when in the on position. The only way appeared to be to have it repaired by a camera repair depot preferably one that also happens to be authorized by Kodak. The repair cost estimate given to me was $70 Canadian. Unfortunately I reported the problem after the warranty period had expired and like most corporations today, Kodak absolutely refused to foot any of the bill once the warranty period is over. I have no good reasons to keep Kodak on my list when shopping for another camera. P880 was a great camera except for the unexpected switching off and Kodak has not made a replacement camera with the same degree of sophistication.
