Kyocera Finecam SL400R Digital Camera - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

You could try Kyocera, but I don't think they still have 10 year old CCD's in stock. And if they have, it could be more expensive then a brand new DSLR. And even if you have a CCD, who will replace it and what reassurance do you have nothing else is defect in the camera. After 10 years perhaps you should try to accept the camera is beyond repair and new camera's now perform better and faster, for less money.

Welcome to Fixya

Try replacing the USB cord. Try to insert the camera to a different USB port. Try to plugin the camera to a different computer and see if you will be getting the same thing.

I've got same problem - cant charge the battery. Plug into charger, kyocera red light comes on momentarily, then goes out.

I bought a few SL400R.. yes I think this is the best camera ever. The battery that came with the cameras always would last very short time, especially in cold weather. But when I ordered new ones online, these would last very long. The specs of the new batteries are the same as the original ones. Go figure. After that I ordered external charger too, so I dont need to use the camera's built-in charger. Works very well.

This look like an connection problem. You could try squeezing the casing here and there to see in the connector[s] resets- but failing that it is a repair shop job

Get a japanese person.

Charge the phone, then turn it on.

Good idea. Fixya does not provide a cleaning or repair service - take it to your local service centre.

Hello

The problem is that the lens has become stuck in the barrel. There are some DIY solutions you could try, but the probability is that you will have to get it fixed by a professional.

Use these at own risk as it may further damage the camera.

Firstly , try connecting your ac adapter or usb cable.

Try holding the shutter button while switching on the camera.

Look at the lens , and if some of the lens 'circles' is misaligned or not concentric then try wiggling it (while holding camera lens down).

Try gently pushing or pulling the lens when it extends but this is risky as it may cause the lens barrel to slip out of its guidance system.

Another way to do this is to place the camera lens down on a hard surface and then power it up. Be sure to use a soft cloth or something similar as to not scratch your lens or casing. Let the lens push the camera up and down a few times and sometimes the little resistance provided by the camera is enough to get things going again.

Try hitting your camera near the lens on the body with the soft tissue on the palm of your hand.

Other than that , I would take the camera to a repair center for a evaluation to see if it would cost more to repair than to replace the camera.

If it is still under warranty I would suggest you take it in before trying any of these steps and remove any off-brand batteries or accessories as some stores are really fussy about warranty repairs on camera's with non-brand accessories.

Hope the advise is useful. please do not hesitate to let me know if you need any further assistance.

Heres your manual:

as you don't mention which camera model it is it's somewhat difficult to give you an exact answer. i would suggest ebay as the first choice. i just recieved a charger (and battery) for an amatuer radio that i own from a seller in hong kong. the purchase price was a fraction of what most stores want and it arrived in canada in about a month. if you don't wish to wait that long their would be sellers closer.

there are also many shops that sell them. please see this search. http://www.google.com/products?hl=en&rls=com.microsoft:en-us&q=Kyocera+Digital+Cameras+charger&um=1&ie=UTF-8&ei=rYAXS57XKMuWlAfUlaDhAg&sa=X&oi=product_result_group&ct=title&resnum=1&ved=0CBcQrQQwAA

I get alot of spare chargers for devices i have at of all places op shops such as value village or goodwill. but that is only by luck whether they would have one.

please take a moment to rate this solution thanks

why don't you try www.247servicecenterinfo.com, they have listing of all kyocera service centers in india.

I have a Kyocera Finecam L3v and the battery went dead in it. I put a new battery in it and it will not go on. The lens is out.

You shouldn't.  If anything, you might have to download some software drivers from Kyocera's website.

Could You Please Give Me More Info

It is not well thought of and considered a toy. https://www.google.com/search?q=digital+harinezumi+2+won%27t+turn+on ..

Some steps you can try: Check Picture Location: Ensure that the pictures you want to view are in the same folder location. Sometimes, if the images are scattered across different folders, they may not appear correctly in the photo viewer. Repair or Reset the Photo App (for Windows 11): Go to Settings > Apps > Photo. Click on Advanced options. Choose either Repair or Reset to address any potential issues with the Photo app. Enable Thumbnail Previews (for Windows 10): Open File Explorer Options: Type "file explorer options" in the Windows search bar and select the first result. Switch to the View tab. Ensure that the option "Always show icons, never thumbnails" is unchecked. Click Apply and then OK to save the changes. That is about all I can offer. If you repost, include brand and model.

I don't see anything that resembles 'make model (what it is)'. You posted to the category Cameras? https://www.google.com/search?q=FREEGROMRIGHT+SIZE+1431655766 ..

if you purchased the camera from a retailer or reseller, they may have a copy of the manual available.
