If your Tasco digital trail camera is not powering on and only displays "OFF" when you press the power button, despite replacing the batteries and SD card, there are a few additional troubleshooting steps you can take:
1. **Check Battery Orientation:**
Ensure that the batteries are inserted correctly with the correct polarity. The camera won't power on if the batteries are inserted improperly.
2. **Battery Contacts and Compartment:**
Inspect the battery compartment for any signs of corrosion or damage. Clean the battery contacts and the inside of the compartment using a clean, dry cloth or a cotton swab.
3. **Test with Known Good Batteries:**
Sometimes, even new batteries can be defective. Try using a different set of known good batteries to eliminate the possibility of faulty power sources.
4. **External Power Source:**
Some trail cameras can also be powered using an external power source or a compatible external battery pack. Check if your model supports this option and try using an external power source.
5. **Reset to Default Settings:**
Look for a reset button or procedure in the camera's manual. Resetting the camera to its default settings might help if there's a software issue causing the problem.
6. **Check for Firmware Updates:**
Check the manufacturer's website for any available firmware updates for your specific camera model. Updating the firmware can sometimes resolve software-related issues.
7. **Inspect for Physical Damage:**
Carefully inspect the camera for any signs of physical damage or water ingress. Ensure that all compartments, seals, and openings are properly closed and sealed.
8. **Contact Tasco Support:**
If none of the above steps resolves the issue, it's advisable to contact Tasco customer support or consult the camera's manual for specific troubleshooting steps. They may be able to provide additional guidance or recommend further actions.
If your trail camera is still under warranty, consider reaching out to Tasco's customer support for assistance. If not, and the issue persists, you might need to consult with a professional camera repair service for a more in-depth diagnosis and potential repairs.
Jul 16, 2011 - Indicate Error when the temperature sensed by Refrigerator sensor is .... My model required holding the super freeze and super cool buttons, but it worked! ... My display said S and E after a power outage I pressed energy .... I had that 5 E error code after a brief power outage... thank you for the resetting ...
Apr 13, 2011 - and then I also noticed that the display buttons for the temperature is not working. ..... We have tried to reset the refrigerator with no luck. ..... I had a power outage yesterday and my Samsung Fridge RSG257 now shows an 88 .... I haveModel# RF268ABRS, this thing quit cooling/freezing after we lost power.
The power went out, then came back on a minute later. I held the Energy Saver and the Lighting buttons together for about 10-15 seconds. That reset the refrigerator. Nothing else worked.
the first time the camera is used the code should be 0000 unless previously changed,try removing and reinstalling the batteries,this hould start your set up again.
press and release the power button and wait for 4 H's,"HHHH" to appear,this may give you another chance to use 0000 or whatever you chose as your password.press enter after each digit,then press enter again.the indicator should display PASS.if it displays ERRO then it is the wrong password.there is a password recovery service provided by Bushnell at 1-800-423-3537 and press option 2,you will need to provide your serial number to the representative.
I struggled with the same problem. I fixed the problem by changing the sd card to a lower gb. I had a 4 gb newer card in it and got the 4 dashes and not turning off. Canged the card to a 2 gb or one gb and retry the camera power up. LMK Hope this is a fix for you!

The problem with the Bushnell Trail Sentry 11-9305 is that it is a power hog...I got this camera for Christmas 2009 and it had 2500 milliamp hour batteries with it and no solar panel...I have lots of coons and rabbits coming to the feeder and had up to 50 pics/night...The batteries would only last for three days or so...Since then I have ordered 10,000
milliamp/hr batteries and the appropriate solar panel that fits it...
When the batteries get low, the camera shuts off....
So, the problem may be that you had some bad batteries to start with..(Only takes one)
The first thing I would do is put heavy duty alkaline batteries in it...
(You'll have to reset the day and time)
If the alkaline batteries work for several days then do what I did...Get the solar panel that is made for it and HEAVY duty NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride) rechargable batteries...(9000 or 10,000 milliampere hours)
You can buy these on E-Bay for about $26.00 for 4 batteries with free shipping...
Hope this helps !!!
If 0000 doesn't work then you have
to send it back to Bushnell
to reset the password. It should not take long to get it back according to others with the same problem, just to let
you know...
hi...ensure that the camera is turned on. If applicable, ensure the
lens cover has been removed before taking pictures. the LCD backlight
is turned on by pressing the DISPLAY button several times until the
screen appears. Depending on the camera model, the DISPLAY button may
be labeled as DISP or with a display icon. This button could be a
standalone button or it depends upon the camera model..... If operating the camera with a battery, ensure the battery is fully charged. Ensure the battery is inserted properly in the camera. If operating the camera with the power adapter, ensure it is plugged into a working AC outlet. Ensure
no Audio/Video (A/V) cables are connected for viewing pictures on a TV;
the LCD screen will not display when an A/V cable is connected. Perform a reset procedure on the camera....
