Question

Kodak EasyShare V1003, won't turn on, lens stuck open and extended, one button only gets the on screen then shuts off. I tried charging it, taking out the batteries, now what should I do?

Answer 1

have it repaired or buy a new camera.

it will cost $150 to have it fixed.

Answer 2

I have had the same problem.  It was caused by low batteries or bad connections between the  camera and the batteries.

Most cameras will reset or restore to original settings if batteries are removed for at least one minute.

Clean, charge, and insert batteries again then restart the camera. Remove extra memory to eliminate this as a possible camera problem.

The secret to making digital cameras work better is having good electrical contacts between the batteries and the camera.

Electrical contacts in the camera and on the batteries must be cleaned properly. Digital cameras are high drain devices. Batteries may have a full charge, but will be viewed by the camera as low if electrical contacts are not really good.
