HELP PLEASE!!!!! i plugged my vivitar in to my pc and accidentally unplugged it before i had downloaded my pics, now it seems to have crashed or something. I cant get the camera to link to the pc and when i take the usb lead off the camera wont even turn on!! What can i do?? My youngest daughter has just taken some pics on it and she wants them and i cant do it for her. I am getting verbal earache until this is sorted, help before i lose my sanity.
Thanks
Jackie

yes but now the camera wont even turn on. The red light comes on at the back but that is it. it flashes a couple of times and then shuts down again. I have tried leaving the battery out for days so it resets itself but nothing. Still not working.

I have the same problem

I know someone who can solve this problem

Are you certain that when you plugged the camera back into the PC you switched the top icon to the wrench symbol? In order for the camera to communicate to the PC it should be on that symbol.

Well, the red light is supposed to flash like that, usually that's an indication that the camera is communicating with the PC, and the lens will also go in.... the light will flash red for a bit, then once it communicates with the Pc it will turn green.... the LCD and everything otherwise will turn black... but if you're certain it's turning off all of the way.... :s I'm not sure what it could be...Sorry I can't help. ^_^;
