Canon PowerShot S90: No image displayed with open lens and active screen

Fri, 10 Jul 2026 08:05:46 -0700

Hi all! I recently acquired a Canon Powershot S90. The screen powers on, BUT does show some signs of slight damage at the top and bottom (instead of being black its slightly yellowish). Additionally, lens opens and all buttons on the camera itself appear to work. The only issue is that when the lens fully opens it for some reason cannot show a picture. Any ideas what might be causing this issue? It takes photos just fine but obviously there completely black.

Fujifilm X30: Why is the LCD screen not working?

Fri, 10 Jul 2026 02:57:11 -0700

When I turned the camera on, the screen appeared black. I could tell the camera was working and taking pictures because I could hear the shutter sound and it could still zoom in and out. I've tried turning the camera on and off multiple times, but it still will not turn on. My daughter's 1st birthday is coming up and I really need the camera to take pictures. Please help.

Canon PowerShot A590 IS: How do I replace the batteries?

Thu, 09 Jul 2026 00:43:10 -0700

I'm having a problem with my Powershot A590. The camera appears locked with the lens extended. Now I can't open the battery compartment to replace the batteries. Normally, to open the compartment you slide the battery compartment lever on the cap forward and then slightly to the left as the arrow indicates but the battery container will not move left. I'm stuck with a camera with the lens fully extended but no lights or indication of power at all. No images can be seen on the view finder, no illumination at all. How can I get the battery container open to replace the batteries without breaking the camera?

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H20: My Sony Cybershot DSC H20 camera randomly shut down, won't turn on

Tue, 07 Jul 2026 08:40:22 -0700

After taking a lot of photos my camera randomly shut down, the lens did not retract. I thought the battery was just drained so I charged it. After it was full, I placed it again in the camera. When I pressed the on button, green light blinked once and also the focus light blinked once but the camera won't turn on.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H20: Power button light is flashing but not booting up

Tue, 07 Jul 2026 08:31:09 -0700

I recently bought a used sony h20, which the seller told me supposedly still works but has a broken battery. I bought a new one but the problem remains: the green light on the power button and the light beside the lens flash once when i press the power or playback button, but then nothing else happens. I tried connecting the camera directly to an AC adapter as well as my computer, but still no luck. What could be the issue here?

I spilled water on my camera and it no longer recognizes the battery. It turns on and takes pictures, but then shuts off with the message "use official battery". This started after the water fell on it. Please, someone help me, there are no technicians in my city.
