I have a Polaroid i733...I just grabbed my camera to take a picture and it turned on for a second and then went off. I tried pushing a/any button but nothing happened. I changed the batteries out, the same thing happened. What should I do

Are you pressing and holding the power button for 5 seconds?

Had the same problem with our i733 Pink Polaroid. Beeps three times and then shuts off. The reason for this is that the lens is stuck in the partially open position. Because our camera was long past warranty and we bought it for $40 second hand I took the brute force approach. I grabbed hold of the lens and wiggled it from side to side while trying to pull it out (forcefully but being as careful as I could not to damage it) and then there was a small "pop" and the lens came out all the way and the camera was good to go again. Hope this helps.

on your memory card there should be a really tiny switch thing on the side, push it the other way and it should work :)
hope i helped.

you need to buy an sd card that holds memory. most cameras don't have a lot of internal memory.

Hey Ally00,
You can try removing the batteries and cleaning the battery contacts with an eraser. By removing the batteries you will also reset the camera to its default settings, which might also help. If this doesn't work I would have the camera looked at by an authorized service technician such as bringing the camera to a Geek Squad® precinct in a Best Buy™ store, and they can send it out to have it serviced. I hope this helps!

Sincerely,
Allan

I got this camera or christmas .Worked good for awhile. Screen went purple and now its not working.

I am having the same problem

there could be a problem with the screws... somthing may be very loose? have you dropped it at all? If so take to a camera repair shop!

well I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM ALL I GOT WAS A BLACK SCREEN & 3 BEEPS,SO GOT A LETTER OPENER AND STUCK IT IN THE SPACE BETWEEN THE ZOOM LENS A FEW TIME VERY CAREFUL PUSHING DOWN THE POWER BUTTON AT THE SAME TIME AFTER A FEW TIMES THE LENS BECAME UNSTUCK..JUST JIGGLE IT A ROUND A LITTLE BACK AND FORTH WITH A LITTLE FORCE.I HOPE YOUR CAMERA WILL START TO WORK AGAIN LIKE MINE DID.

I have had the same problem with my Polaroid camera also. I had it for just a few months and sent it it in while it was still under warranty. They then sent it back to me TWO months later telling me they could do nothing about it. They didn't fix it, send me a new one or anything. I see that several people have posted on the same problem and haven't got any resolutions. This is ridiculous!
