Polaroid i733 7.0 digital camera won't work (by 4 users)

Report abuse

Polaroid i733 7.0 digital camera won't work. I usually use digital rechargeable batteries, but have also tried duracell ultra and energizer lithium batteries. The camera will sometimes turn on and the lens will come out, but that's it. Nothing will display on the screen, it just stays black. I can't even get the lens to go back in. The camera is only about 3 months old. Help!

This just happened to me also. Need to know how to fix. It won't work no matter what I do. I can't find anything in the manuals or online about this.

I have the same problem with my camera. My camera won't fully turn on, the light just blinks on the side and the lens won't go back in. Maybe its because when I last used it, my batteries died and the lens was left out and it affected it? Then I couldn't find my usb port to it for the longest time, when I finally I did I plugged my camera into it and tried to turn it on, it would just go to the start-up picture and the screen would go blank with the light blinking. This is fustrating!

My daughter just had this problem with her camera. The camera was off with the lens barrel extended. When I looked at it closely, I noticed that the inner part of the lens barrel was at a slight angle to the camera. I pushed firmly on the low side of the inner part of the barrel, and it popped the rest of the way out. Camera works fine now. Good luck!

Send it back to the factory. Call their tech support and request the RMA# and mailing address. Camera comes with a 1-yr warranty. As long as it shows no signs of abuse and you are the original owner they will consider it according to tech support.

Include the receipt if you have it. They have a few loopholes to get out of the claim however, even if you do not have the receipt they can determine the DOB from the serial number.

Remember to be nice.
