Kodak Easyshare

Remove the batterty andclean the internal battery contact with an
eraser on the end of a pencil- take a flash light to look inside the compartment to enfure they are bright and clean.
Make sure the battery door and contact srip are a good tight fit
Hold the door down with a finger whilst switching on
Other than that there is little moreyou can do

After searching the internet for months for a solution and calling Kodak, who told me to "send the camera back along with $80," this morning I popped in 2 AA batteries...and it worked!!! Unbelievable!


The brand new rechargeable battery wouldn't work, but 2 individual AA batteries did the trick.
Can't figure out why the separate batteries work, but the dual pack won't.

HI I actually changed back to alkaline battery's and the camera seems ok again!! Might work for you too :)

I have a Kodak EasyShare Z740, it will only turn on to view pictures but turns off quickly (turns off on own) when I try to take a picture.
