I had same issue. The battery was empty, and even with USB cable cannot be charge it. I took apart , couldn't fix it so put it together. I had a different brand digital camera battery charger which I modified to charge up this battery. After full charge my digital camera started working. Now I can recharge with USB cable as well.

Take it to a good camera shop some do repair most dont. The problem most likely is the pinion gear has been moved off the gear that runs the lens in an out. I have gently taken them apart before anrepaired them. It is a trying job, believe me. This is why I never recommend point an shot camera to anyone. You cant remove the lens an the slightest bump will disturb those cameras. You have a noce camera, but I hope someone will try to set it right for you.

It sounds like some part of the power zoom mechanism has failed. It could be repairable but with the age of the camera I doubt it would be worth it- something else may fail and a newer camera would also provide improved image quality.

Go to Windows update and check for updates while the camera is connected,if It don't download them automatically you have to get them from the manufacturers website.

Memory cards have different write speeds. When making a video it's best to use a series 10 card. This number has nothing to do with the capacity of the card but does have a faster read/ write speed.

Please don't try to do a firmware upgrade, on a device that is not working 100 %. You need a good working device, to be sure the software is placed in the flash memory, as it was meant to be. I don't think there will be any firmware around for this camera. So if anything is wrong with the camera, first try to find out what it is. Solve the problem, and only then (if available) upgrade.

The best way to transfer 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). 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 any photo management program such as Picasa. Organize edit and share your photos
