My son used his camera for one afternoon after getting it for christmas. It worked fine for the first couple of hundred pictures, but later that day when he turned it on it would power up for a brief second then shut off by itself. It has brand new batteries and has not been abused.
-   Same issue - camera powers up briefly, then immediately turns off. Brand new batteries. No abuse to the camera. It is very disappointing. I plan to contact Fisher Price after learning so many others are having the same issue.-   Guest

-   Same situation here, tried replacing the batteries and the camera both. Any help would be appreciated.
-   I am having the same problem with my sons camera. He used it for less than a day with brand new batteries. Now it acts like it turns on then shuts off. Has anyone contacted Fisher Price?-   Guest

We had this happen today with a brand new camera, I called Fisher Price and they said they had a batch of cameras that short out, which is causing the problem. They offered for us to send the camera to them, and they will mail us a new one.
I had this problem too. Simply transfering the pictures to my computer and deleting them from the Camera solved it. This seems to be the default behavior when the camera is full.
Hi Everyone,
The Camera needs to be re-formatted using your computer & the USB cord that came with it I went to fisherprice. website .... this link: http://service.mattel.com/us/product_detail.asp?id=M8072&Ntt=M8072&Pn=1&Brand=Fisher-Price+Technical+Products&Cat=Other+Fisher-Price+Technical+Products
It has product model # & contact number for service tech. Call the service number & a tech will help you The Tech guided me through the 4 or 5 EASY steps & stayed on the phone with me while I did it. Its very easy as he will tell you the dialog boxes you should see etc. TIP: make sure your computer is up & ready when you call & have camera plugged in.

We find that it will act like it's going to boot up, ie the fisher price screen comes on then it freezes and won't go any further. We also had it boot up and then turn off like the batteries were dead, which they were brand new.
