It's a hardware fault. If it's under guarantee send it back. If not then your fault might be able to be repaired at a cost. The fault is likely to be caused by overheating. turn it off on the back and let it cool. if the fault remains or reoccurs (which it most likely will) then it needs looking at by an electronics guy :O)

E system 1212 Laptop won't switch on. Power

Laptops are so integrated that usually a system failure that involves power issues such as in your case where you cant get it turn on with anything on the screen mean the mainboard (motherboard) is damaged. This usually leads to buying a new laptop or paying for the board to be replaced which usually costs as much as the laptop.

Should the power light be green or red, when I turn camera on it shows a green light then turns red

Red light indicates that the camera is out of charged., Try to charged your battery for 3-4 hrs if you encounter flashing red on a fully charged battery you need to call kodak 1 800 235 6325 ext 12

You can charged you camera using 5V AC Adaptor or a USB cable taht attached into the computer

Canon i320 amber light flashing will not print

I believe that 7 amber flashes refer to a cartridge error. Check that the cartridge is seated correctly.

Light keeps flashing red,amber, green

If you turn off the printer and turn it back on, do you get any noises, ie motor noises, or does it instantly go to all lights flashing?
If you get no noises this usually indicates a board fault and you should look for a new printer.
