Trying to replace the gears in my instax mini 90 since the teeth broke. Does anyone have a parts list or a repair manual that lists what parts go into it?

Instax Mini 90 Repair: My Instax Mini 90 photos have these weird purple dots

Sun, 23 Mar 2025 08:31:00 -0700

So I’ve recently got an Instax Mini 90 Neo Classic and I got it in a pack (which had the camera straps and 3 packs of 10 of film). I used the film and I took a photo and it printed out with these purple dots.

I’ve cleaned the lens and the two holes near the lens (I forgot what those are called). I took another photo yet it still had the purple dots.

I don’t know if it is the film causing the problem or the actual camera itself. If anyone has been through this problem before and knows how to fix it or has an answer, please tell me.

Instax Mini 90 Repair: My camera won't turn on - Blinking dash on LCD

Sun, 26 Jan 2025 02:08:17 -0700

Hello guys.

I was using my camera when it suddenly it stopped working. I thought it was just the battery and didn't give much attention to it. I forgot it at a friend's house and only got it back a few months later and even after recharging the battery, it still didn't power on. I thought it could be a dead battery, so I bought a new one. Didn't work.

Battery charger seems to be working just fine (or the lights are, at least), but the camera simply won't turn on. When I try to turn it on, a small dash blinks once on the LCD, but no error message or anything. It just doesn't work.

Anyone knows what it could be? I couldn't find a single thing online. Any tips would be helpful.

Instax Mini 90 Repair: Instax Mini 90 Neo Classic is Draining Its Li-Ion Battery(ies)

Fri, 02 Jun 2023 20:52:18 -0700

We have and love the Mini 90 Neo Classic. Unfortunately, it's started eating batteries and can't figure out why or how to diagnose and fix.

Here's what went down: went on vacation and forgot the Li-Ion charger. When the battery died, I bought an aftermarket charger that swelled and destroyed the original battery. Ordered off brand replacement batteries off of Amazon. They powered the camera on, but would die within hours if left in the camera whether camera was on or off. Ordered 2 legit Fuji batteries and same thing.

So, it's the camera. Seems that a rare few have had this issue, but I haven't found anyone who has found a solution. Needless to say, the fiance is quite displeased about this 😬 Happy to tear into, but need to know what I'm looking for first.

Thanks!

Instax Mini 90 Repair: How to replace film door?

Fri, 30 Dec 2022 16:42:43 -0700

Hello! I have one of these that I bought ages ago but dropped and it broke the pointy piece on the door that allows it to latch shut (so you can't lock the film door). I also bought another one for parts multiple years ago (I have a hard time getting around to projects hahaha) that has a good door but I don't really see how to remove and replace it. Anyone have any experience fixing these cameras? Thank you!

Instax Mini 90 Repair: Instax mini 90 Exposure incorrectly

Mon, 04 Oct 2021 12:41:13 -0700

splashed some water on lens and now photos come out either too dark or too bright.

Something seems to be messing with auto exposure. A strange thing that I notice is that when I’m shooting under bright daylight and select no flashing, the no flashing icon keeps blinking which seems to be telling me that light isn’t enough to choose no flashing? Maybe it indicates light receptor is malfunctioning? If so, what are the fixes I could try?

Attached the sample photos I took, you can clearly see some are being way too dark and some are way too bright

So my camera is locked with the lens out. It refuses to turn on. I tried new batteries, recharged batteries, the camera shows that the battery is working but won’t turn on. How can I rebut or force a turn on or the lens back inside?

Instax Mini 90 Repair: Why isn't my Instax mini camera taking photos?

Wed, 18 Nov 2020 13:05:04 -0700

I’ve had the Instax Mini 90 Neo Classic for around 2 years and it’s always worked fine. But now when I try to take a photograph, nothing happens when I press the button and the shutter does not sound. The battery is fully charged and the camera turns on as normal. There doesn’t seem to be an issue with the film ejecting either, because I’ve tried removing the film pack and reinserting it, and the top film automatically ejects (blank). Does anyone have any suggestions as to what may be the issue?

My instax mini 90 is in working condition and will turn on. The only problem is that the door doesn’t shut. Also every time the door has pressure on the film pack inside one film will print blank. Does anyone have a fix for this? Or provide some advice?
