I hit the power button and the lens opens and then immediately closes. Kodak easy share mx 1063

You need to remove the batteries and remove the memory card. Then reinstall the batteries. Finally, press and hold the "ok" button, the power on the camera. This is a factory reset trick. It fixes approximately 40% of all error messages on the KODAK EASY SHARE CAMERAS. But of course, no one is gonna be kind enough to help somebody out, they just want to take your money!

There was a problem with your Kodak system which is very critical to do it by yourself. It is better to check it with Kodak repair shop.


Please rate me solved if you like my solution.

Could be something stopping the lens to go out all the way. It will automatically retract and turn off if anything prevents it from extending. It could be the motor or whatever but I would definitely contact kodak. Also could be something like a short or software malfunction but it sounds like a problem with the lens not being able to extend fully out.

I went with other advice, gentle drop on carpet sorted it :-)

Hi,

It can be easily replaced. Buy LCD screen on sites like ebay.

It's easy to change the LCD screens.

Thanks.

VERY COMMON WITH EASY SHARE. There are only a couple things you can really do. FIrst, try removing the memory card and try it. Than if that dosen't work. Try holding power button while gently wiggleing the zoom.

You got to really clean it good. Probably the sand is in the lens extension preventing the lens to oppen. That is the problem.

push on the front of the lens when you turn it on. The lens extended to far and doesn't have enough power to close it back.

Enilra, sounds to me like you might have the button that takes the photo stuck in the down position. Without turning on the power, put you finger on the button and press down on it while you move wiggle your finger around. Get a good look at the button and see if You Can See If The Button is returning to the UP Position. Withour seeing your camera in person this would be my guess.

Go to Kodak Technical Support- There may be an issue here that they will deal with free of charge.
