Flashing Light When I turn my 945 on it just flashs white on the whole LCD screen and the lens doesn't come out and it wont turn off unless I remove the batteries. Help.. I love this camera

There no lamp in the LCD tv only CCFO floorescent light tubes.U can't reset or adjust those CCFO floorescent light tubes.Those CCFO floorescent light tubes are design to work as a whole LCD screen for the tv that it.The tv power supply board is dead.That the board where the power a/c cord plug into it.That the power supply board,it dead.Tries websites like Shopjimmy.com,Ebay.com to buy a whole refurbish power supply board for the replacement.On the board u said u see flashing blue light,searches all around for those dead leakages capacitors,they alway bulges up on it tops or puff up on it tops.Replaced those dead capacitors or replaced the whole board.This actions will get the tv power stable again and work.

Probable Lamp. If lamp hasn't bown the red Lamp Lite won't flash but other lamp issues cause stby timer light to continue flashing. If stby red lite is flashing, count the no. of times flashing - could open thermal fuse (6X flashing)

what bank in p.a. can i open a checking account thats wont hold it against me if i owe another bank money?

If the shutter is stucked there is no external way to release it Have to show it at camera shop

LCD panels use cold-cathode fluorescent bulbs to make the light necessary for them to show images. What you're describing is something I've seen in panels where the bulbs were dying or dead. it's also possible that the controller for the bulbs is also on the fritz.

Hi,
Ok, here's a couple of long shots to try...
If there is a backup battery remove that also and let it sit for some time with the power switch in the on position (if it has one)
also check the battery contacts are clean. Refit both batteries and try again.

Beyond that unfortunately it sounds like a main board failure. If you have any warranty on the camera return it, if not its likely the cost of replacement would be fairly high but worth checking with HP.
If your handy and fancy a go at it yourself it may be worth opening it to check nothing has become dislodged, but this is unlikely. else pick up a faulty one off ebay, one with a broken LCD or lens and have a bash at swapping the main board out yourself.

A WARNING ABOUT OPENING DIGITAL CAMERAS THEY BITE
Before opening a digital camera its recommended you let it sit for some time (like a week) with no batteries in. There ia a large capacitor (like a battery) which can be charged up to 300v if you touch the contacts or anything connected to it it really is like a shock from the mains.. I have been bitten many times...
This can damage the delicate parts within because of high voltages but more often because you almost always drop the darn thing..
Best of luck

My nikon coolpix 4500 has the flashing red clock as well with the hands of the clock pointed to 9 oclock and a white dot on the oppostie side of the 9

I read your posting about changing the batteries. I tried it once and it did not work. Then, I tried it again a few weeks later and the new batteries made it work. I have not tried the rechargable batteries again. I am afraid to remove the batteries I placed in the camera. I hope this helps you. I think there must be a sensor that gets reset at some point and the issue stops. Who knows. Good luck!!!

HP also suggested to reset the camera as follows:
To Reset The Camera:
1. Remove the memory card and turn on the camera.
2. Open the battery compartment and remove the batteries.
3. Wait at least ten seconds.
4. Reinsert the batteries and turn on the camera.

I also found information regarding a similar problem with another model at this link:

Focus Assist Light and LCD Flash Simultaneously

http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/fastFaqLiteDocument?lc=de&cc=ch&dlc=de&docname=c00240207

The Issue:
When the HP Photosmart digital camera is placed on the dock without batteries, the AF assistance LED and LCD could blink at the same time. Explanation It seems that the super-capacitor on the camera senses the voltage supplied by either the AC adapter or batteries when they are inserted. This is more an annoyance rather than an actual failure on the device. The microcontroller (Dang) senses the voltage and sends a signal to the LCD and AF assistant LED. This is what some times is called a WAD (working as designed). If batteries are present or the super-capacitor is charged, the AC adapter will not trigger this behavior. This can be tried by inserting some batteries on the camera for 3 or 5 minutes, then remove them and place the camera on the dock. No blinking should be present.

Any Warranty left? If not contact Nikon technical help This is a major fault.

contact nikon they know about the problem and will fix it for free
