When i switch my camera on it bleeps 3 times and switches off again. i have replaced the battery but to no avail. any ideas?.

It is likely that the problem is the motor controller. To determine this, you should unplug all of the wires from the controller and then plug them in again. If this doesn't resolve the issue, then you may need to replace the controller. It is also possible that the bleeping is caused by a short circuit in the battery system, in which case you should check all of the wiring and batteries for any signs of damage.

That sounds like your battery could be dead/not hold a charge. If you've charged your battery already and your camera still won't stay off and turns off right away, it's time to purchase a new battery for your Samsung TL105.

You can purchase replacement batteries quite cheap here:

The lens error is due to failure of the lens control system. You can remove battery and card replace battery and while switching on tap the lens hood on your hands so as to disengage any dirt or mechanism being struck.
Use some air to blow between the lens to dislodge any sand particles struck inside. If none of these works then you can think of taking consensus with the service centre.
get estimate before you decide. It will be good to have it checked at the Samsung service as you do not have to run around for spares.

Hi. Check the battery if it has enough charge to power on the camera. Hope this helps.

Here is a website that lists the things to do and check to try to fix this problem:

Mostly this consists of ensuring that the battery is good, and holding a full charge, and also making sure the battery contacts are clean, both on the battery and inside the camera.
As a last thing to check, the switch could be bad. The next web blog talks about another problem the camera could be having, which is a lens "stuck" issue:

Even though it says lens error, it still apllies to stuck lens.
Good luck, and hope this helps.

Try the procedures in this tip.

hi meeshfriel,

The battery might be damaged. try recharged the battery at least 2 hours maximum of 4 hours. If the problem persist it is your battery needs to be replaced......


Thanks.

I had the same problem, firstly you will be able to press the button on the back to view your pictures, when you do and the camera powers up quickly press the menu button. Check that your battery settings are set to alkaline, then buy some good alkaline batteries and not cheap ones. Check that they are alkaline and not like what I did and bought panasonic zinc carbon.
This worked for me and mine would not turn on either until i changed the batteries to a good make.

I was able to contact the manufacturer who repaired my camera under warranty. They were wonderful to work with and my camera was only out of my hands for 10 days, out just before Thanksgiving and back just after! Amazing for a holiday time frame.
