Look on page 56 of the L20 manual. The attached link will take you to your camera's manual on the Nikon USA website: http://cdn-10.nikon-cdn.com/pdf/manuals/coolpix/L20L19EN.pdf

Copy and paste the link into your web browser and the download and install the driver. http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=6816&ProdId=948&lang=eng&OSVersion=Windows%20XP%20%20Professional*&DownloadType=Drivers

Hello Xavier,

You can repair the battery door of Nikon Coolpix L20 by using any adhesive. Please carefully apply the adhesive while repairing the battery door. If this will not works then you have to contact the service center for new battery door spare part.

Consider NOT connecting your camera to your computer.

The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries.

Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive, the same way you copy any other files. Or you can use Nikon Transfer or any other photo cataloging program.

Due to the tight tolerances inside the lense mechanism - small bits of sand or lint may become trapped in the mechanics and cause the lense error.

It is advised to take the camera to a camera repair shop and have it disassembled and cleaned.

There are many small parts and intricacies that will render it totally useless if not done properly.

The cable itself might be to blame. You should hope so, since the alternative is not good news. These cables are pretty much standard and available in any Radio Shack or Best Buy.

If that doesn't work (and you can return the cable if that's the case), I would recommend getting a cheap card reader rather than using the camera and cable to import your photos. Your camera takes SD and SD-HC cards. To be safe, you should be sure to get a card reader that can accept SD-HC cards (not all of them can).

With a card reader, it's even easier and faster to import photos. You insert your memory card into the reader, which attaches via USB on your computer, and it shows up just like a disk drive. then drag and drop your photos where you want them.
