Ge x600 camera bag12/11/2022 I got a Canon PowerShot A530 from my mother's school after it died with the lens extended. (I replaced the camera the following day with a Canon IXY 10.0 (Elph 770), but the manual is in Japanese! Fortunately, I've found the English version online.) Is it time to pronounce the Konica Minolta beyond reasonable repair? Many thanks for your help! It neither shows the scene to be shot nor displays a photo already on a card. The blind photos were some of my best!!! Just now I followed your recommendations, found that the screen/monitor now illuminates both without and with an SD card, but is blank (some faint striping). While it didn't occur to me to remove the SD card and turn the camera on and off without it, I later placed the card in a daughter's camera on the chance that the camera was still functional. Crushed by the timing, I decided to give blind shooting a try: aimed the camera 'focusing' on subjects and shot. Maybe there's hope! About six months ago I dropped the camera from my lap - less than 2 feet (seated on steps, taking one of those once-in-a-lifetime photos of a gravel garden in Kyoto, Japan) and the screen went black. Moments from tossing my Konica Minolta DiMage X1 in the trash I thought to do a web search on "screen dead but takes pictures" and discovered your web site. Can you help me dear camera Repair, or is time for me to bury it in the backyard garden? Regards Stjepo I have opened it once again and checked all point by point, following the repair book (that has small errors) and.nothing. I was happy.not for long, the camera stop working and now is dead. I reassembled the camera, installed the battery and automatically the objective went back to its original place. I took the black frame out and I did not put it in again. Once I reached the objective I found that the small frame had stuck into it. Back to open the camera again, this time I discharged the capacitor (that the first time I did not). I suspected that the small black frame had something to do with it. The problem was that the objective of the camera was out and when I put it of did not return to inside. tatachan! my camera stoped working and my screen kept telling me to open the objective tap. I started taking pictures to everything at home and. But my "love" story do not have a nice happy end. The new picture was sharp and clean, that made me happy. I had made a test picture before the cleaning of the CCD, I repeated it and now I know that I been taking nice pictures for five years. Once I assembled the camera again everything worked correctly. A probe of the good quality control done in Nikon with his cameras! At he same time I noticed that the diminute small black frame was freely moving inside the objective, I assumed that it was correct. surprise! In middle of it, was a fingerprint (I assume of the worker who assembled it, CSI would be proud of me). I managed to reach the CCD of the camera and. I got he technical manual for this camera and with rubber globes and a lot of patience I decided to find the true. After 5 years using it I decided to find the real true. My low experience in photography told me that was all my fault. Since the time I bought it, I noticed that my close up pictures, had some estrange mark, like a finger print. When at the store, look on the package for a power rating of at least 2500 mah. You'll be very pleased with their performance, and may slap yourself for not buying them sooner. Keep in mind they'll save you big bucks in the long run over alkalines, AND they'll last for at least 100 pictures per charge (and probably many many more). Most retailers sell NiMH batteries for around $7 for a package of four (about $15-19 for the batteries with charger). Pretty sure you'll see a statement similar to what I've just said). Digital cameras for the most part should only be used with rechargeable NiMH batteries (if you still have your instruction manual, open it to the "batteries" section. It doesn't matter if they're new, and right out of the package. Some may even have problems just powering startup of the camera. Alkaline and regular "super heavy duty" batteries just don't have the power for more than a few pics in a digital camera. Are you using alkaline batteries, or worse yet those "Super Heavy Duty" batteries? If so, betcha we've just discovered your problem. Next thing to look at are the batteries themselves.
