Nikon Coolpix AW130: Nikon Coolpix AW130 Stripped triPod mount

Sun, 22 Apr 2018 14:21:56 -0700

The tripod mount on my aw130 has stripped. It looks as if 1 Phillips screw is holding in the plate and looks easy enough to replace. Is this part available to purchase anywhere so that I may replace it myself?

I forgot to latch the battery door before using. The camera turns on, but I can’t see anything on the screen. Is this fixable for a reasonable price or should I just buy a new camera?

Nikon Coolpix AW130: Flash Not Working Properly

Wed, 14 Jun 2023 10:40:09 -0700

I've got a few of these cameras that we use for business. Over time it seems that the flash keeps failing on them. On the ones that work, I have a few options for the flash setting, on the ones that are bad it only gives me the auto and off options for flash and there's a little flash symbol with a cross through it on the upper left side.

After doing some research I attempted to replace the photo-flash capacitor but that didn't fix anything.

I'm a repair tech but I've never dealt with camera flash before and I'm not 100% on how it works. Does anyone have any idea on how I can fix this?

Nikon Coolpix AW130: Camera doesn't want to turn on

Tue, 22 Nov 2016 23:16:34 -0700

I met this issue second time.

After few days of using new camera it suddenly stopped to respond with nearly full battery and didn't start after replacing battery for fully charged. But it started again when connected to charger. After disconnecting didn't react again. I've send camera back to store and got another one. After next few days problem appeared again.

Camera is working properly connected to charger only. After disconnecting charging led is slowly blinking and camera doesn't turn on. Charging led stop blinking after 10-15 minutes.

Any ideas?
