When I turn on the camera the LCD screen is waving around with a black line to the left hand side of the screen. Is the battery on it's way out and needs replacing or is the whole camera on it's way out, many thanks
sounds like a connection from a ribbon cable or connector that connects the LCD to the curcuitry. Best this is twist or tap on side of camera to see if it changes and if it does and you feel comfortable taking apart tiny electronics lke this Go for it clean the connector(s) running from the LCD BUT I warn you if your not expereanced to do this I would contact the manufacturer as most companys have flat rates on most repairs.
my cameras LCD screen was all white, sometimes horizontal lines would appear..thats all..it still took pictures but i could only see them on the computer. if you take it apart and cleaning it doesnt work, a friend found a foam like piece that had fallen from somewhere in the camera and was making a wire short out. after he removed it and put the camera back together it worked fine.

Can I charge my Kyocera Finecam S3L using the DCin connection on the side of the camera? I bought the camera on ebay without the charger and the camera does not switch on. I don?t mind buying a charger if the camera is working but I would like to see if it is working first.

I have a Kyocera Finecam S5R and it does't make any photo. It was working very good an suddenly I get the message Unsupported Format. I try severeral SD cards (new ones, old ones, 16 Mb, 128 Mb, 2Gb ..) I try to format the SD card. I try to reset the camera Nothing happens, always the same message and any photo. I went to the shop were I have bought it and they said me that the better solution is to buy another. (for them is probably the best solution but not for me) I can't find a technical service in Spain. Coud you help me. Thanks a lot in advance. Ramon Riera.

Hello all, After comming across this site whilst searching google i'd thought i'd post a problem i am having. A good 5/6 years ago i brought one of these cameras and had much use from it for several years. However, i haven't used it for a while and when i have come to turn it on i found out that the shutter will not open (the internal shutter), all other functions seem to work fine (it will take a photo, turning out black) and menu functions seem to work fine all. I was just wondering if anyone could give any clues as with what to look at? I took the camera back to the retailer to see if they would service it and due to it's age they couldn't. But now i have brought the S5L and wouldn't mind opening the S3L to see if i could have myself 2 working cameras :) All ideas are welcome.
