Kodak C763 - fully charged battery - blue lights go and blink for a few seconds - camera will not turn on, lens does not open.
Hi-
When you say 'fully charged', is it the original battery from the camera, or another type of battery?
The description you give indicates one of three possible issues:
1. Your old battery can no longer hold a sufficient charge and though it can give enough to show activity (blue light), it may not hold enough to run the device. You may need to replace it > should be available at most retailers that sell Kodak cameras.
2. Wrong type of battery used. Check to see what type of battery the camera requires: NiCad, Lithium, etc. are all different, and not all can be used in these cameras. It's not just about the battery size.
3. Did you drop it? If so, the threads for the lense may have been damaged, not allwing it to eject from the body.
Since you bought a Kodak, you are lucky. If options 1 or 2 do not fix the problem, contact Kodak and they will usually take care of you.
Good luck!

turn the power into the C763 Kodak Camera and the blue power light blinks for a few seconds then turns off.
I have the same problem.....I hit the power button on the C763 Kodak Camera and the blue power light blinks 10 times, then turns off. I found nothing on the Kodak website. I tried the advice to clean the battery connections, but that didn't work either. Help!
Yup, same problem with my C763. Ten blinks, then nothing. Works with AC adapter, with battery in or out, SD card in or out, but with battery in and no AC -- nothing. Also, voltmeter showed battery putting out 3.5V, which is below 3.7V spec, but should be within operating tolerance.
Same problem. We bought two of the cameras in November. In April one of the camera's lens stopped extending and the camera light just blinked. It then stopped working all together. We returned it to Kodak's repair center for warranty repair. The week after we sent the first one off, the second one did the same thing. Unfortunately, I have misplaced the receipt and do not know if they will repair the second one. I would suggest going to the kodak trouble shooting and putting in your camera's serial #. It may still be under warranty. I will not purchase this one again!
battery fully charged - working one minute, then turned on and blue light blinks briefly, lens won't open
