My Z740 camera has been refurbished. It was working fine until now. With the best batteries installed, the camera turns on then immediately turns off. I have played w/ the on/off switch and cleaned the pickups in the battery compartment but it continues to do the same .thing. If you don't have a solution, would you know where I could send my camera for repair - Thank you. Brett , Ashland KY.

There's a chance that the drop is irrelevant to your problem. You could try using a small eraser to clean the battery contacts down in the chamber (make sure to dump out any eraser particles) and try a new CRV-3 battery, which because of it's slightly longer body produces a little more pressure on the contacts. If that doesn't work to improve things then your cam might need a repair, your call there. Good luck

My camera was marked backwards - put the batteries in the opposite way and it works like a champ

I have the same problem... cleaning the contacts does not work. I'm using NiMH 2450 mAmp batteries, brand new, and I get a low battery indicator immediately. Camera shuts off unexpectedly. A short search online indicates that HUNDREDS of people are having the same problem. Kodak help not very helpful. I'm ready to buy something else!

I had this problem as well. After spending an hour with a service representative from Kodak, I was told that in order to fix it, it would cost me $60 + $10.95 shipping + applicable state sales tax. I was frustrated when I realized that I may as well just buy a new camera. I then proceeded to gently poke/prod/slam the camera against my hand, but nothing changed. Then, in a moment of inspiration, I turned it on and gently held the outside of the lens as it turned off. When I tried to turn my camera back on, the problem (whatever it was) was fixed!

I have the same problem. Sometimes, giving the camera a few "taps" solces it for a while and it works (though it soon turns off again). I have cleaned the battery contacts but do not believe this is the issue. Personally, I think the camera is shutting off because it "thinks" the batteries have run out (or there is an over-voltage). The problem is exactly the same using an external power supply.
