Menu screen nothing but lines.

Hi. Right from the start my menu screen was unreadable. Camera will not operate, and now the screen won't even come on. The memory card is good, as well as the batteries. Any way to reset?

    Hi Everyone. I am pleased to report that the camera is working fine now. And am ashamed to report what the problem was. I bought TWO separate packs of Duracells dated 2024. When the camera didn't work, I replaced the (fresh) batteries with other fresh ones. I assumed they were good because I had just purchased them AND because of the date. But...it turns out that BOTH packs were totally dead. My voltmeter wasn't handy, so I didn't check them. I still find it unbelievable that new Duracells could be bad. I put in store brand alkalines and all worked perfectly. What's that lesson about NEVER assume? I appreciate all your comments and help. What a great group!!

Turn camera off, remove battery's and sd card. With everything out turn it to the on position for about 2-3. After 2-3 minutes put batterys back in while on the on position. Once he says no card or no memory turn the camera off put sd card back in and test the camera.

Hi Paul,
I am sorry. There is nothing you can do about it. It appears to be a defective panel.

The menu screen is on and we can not take pictures, we can not get out of that setting

Hi, If it won't let you quit out of the menu screen I'd suggest turning the camera off then on, if that doesn't work take the battery out for a couple of minute and that should do the trick.

I have the pearl blackberry, on my bbm its showing that i have unread messages but when i go to click on them theres nothing there.

There may be an unread email somewhere in your inbox. If you click the menu button when in the mail section there is a "mark all unread messages read (or something similar)." This should clear up your unread message count on your "Today" screen.

Best Regards,
Bill

Screen Adjustment

On your monitor at the bottom there is 3 buttons. The one all the way to the left is the "menu" button. The next one (going right) is the "NEGATIVE" button. The next one (going right) is the "POSITIVE" button.

You can move your screen around. First, start by pressing the menu button.Then, a menu in blue, with a bunch of little white icons will appear. Next, go over two icons by pressing the positive button twice. Then, proceed to push in the "menu" button again. A bar will appear. By pressing your negative button, your screen will move left. Pressing your positive button will make your screen move right. Adjust your screen until the black on both sides are of even proportion. Then, press the menu button to return to the orginal menu you started at. Proceed to press your positive button two more times. Then, press your menu button. Then, once again, use your positive button, and your negative button to adjust your screen to even out the black on the top and bottom.
