Sony cybershot dsc-w80 - not working due to error...

I just tried the same thing as a last resort (knocking my camera on the table) with my DSW-100 and it actually worked! My camera has not been working for two weeks because it keeps turning itself on and off with the same error message. I can't believe that actually worked.

hi i have a DSC-S600 and i hav the smae problem the man at the shop said he will fix it for 2000 Rupees!!!!!!!!!!!

DOes any1 have a solution ????????

Hi Lewis,

The problem emanated when the camera was roaming free in my handbag probably getting squashed under numerous objects including my Nintendo.

Yesterday, I fixed the problem by..and I don't recommend anyone else try this....banging it gently on my desk! It worked first time after that. I think something was jammed in it and by gently knocking the camera it fixed itself.

It worked for me!

Thanks anyway - I probably wouldn't have bought another battery and would have rather spent the money on a new camera so I wasn't too concerned about knocking my camera into shape. I do not advise this unless you don't mind taking the risk that it could make the problem worse!

I've come across this problem before there may be a problem with the battary try to replace it and see if that fixes it.
