Camera turns on; however,l it will not take a picture. The screen is black except for some varied charachters. I have tried a new battery from Radio Shack with the same problem. Two "camera savvy" people told me that it's the camera not the battery. The camera was purchased in July 2008.

- The camera is a Sanyo VPC T-850

- The camera will not reset. Maybe I should just scrap it and get another one.

Hi

are you able to navigate the settings and menus? are you able to view old pictures?
What is the brand and model?

- The same camera is sitting here next to me I got this 2008 also, few months before christmas.

So do you get the white Sanyo text on the blue background? Turn it on and press the menu button then press the flash button or right two times to get into setup, from setup select Sys. Reset, press SET press down or the timer/delete button to select Execute. And press Set to reset the camera.

Are you able to do this reset?

- Do you have warranty on it? I would suggest to contact sanyo for your country and see if they will repair it for you.

http://sanyo.com/

Select your location from the website Contact their customer service and ask about the warranty service.

Or if you are outside of warranty you can get a free repair estimate for example from www.advancecamera.com/repair
