I dropped my Kodak Easyshare M530

Hello Zeidy, This is BAD NEWS no matter how you look at it, the repairs will exceed the price of a new camera.

you would have to take the camera apart and probably replace the the screen or reattach the cables for a better connection.

Have you tried switching to the picture preview mode after every shot? If the pictures come out there, it simply means that your lens and camera itself cannot "talk" to each other and you may have to bring it down for servicing.

Try NOT connecting your camera to your computer.

The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries.

Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive, the same way you copy any other files. Or you can use any photo cataloging program.

You can use a USB to Digital Camera cable or take out the memorycard in your kodak easy share m530 and use a external/internal card reader on your computer. If a screen doesn't pop up within 20seconds, go to My Computer > Look for a picture(drive) that hasn't been there before. Usually it would be like Drive I/J/K or something like that. Good luck and rate.

I have this same problem, but I never dropped the camera. I got it 2 months ago.

My Kodka M530 is only taken dark pictures, I cant get the flash on, and if I get it on it still wont stay on. The pictures still coming out dark
