    I have the same problem. The camera has not been dropped, has not been in use for years, I've only had it 14 months and don't use the flash a great deal and when I do it's been the soft flash setting. Of course the obvious thing to do is get it repaired, I'm just saying that I've experienced the same problem. Could it be a fault with this particular model?

    My camera will not turn on.  The battery is charged but when I try to turn it on the screen is black and the lens go out half way.  Is there any way I can reset my camera?

    My flash doesnt work too from the day I bought the camera. The orange light in the front turns on but the picture is not taken. So, in dark places I never can take pictures. The camera cant take pictures when the flash is set to on or automatic.
    Do you think that can be a configuration problem??

    I've had this camera just over a year. Flash has worked without any problems and then suddenly it stopped. I have charged the battery pacts

    and attempted to reset------no luck.

    The camera has not been dropped or damaged at all. Unable to get any assistance at Kodak website.

    The flash stopped working, no known cause. Tried to reset but did not make a difference. Is it worth the price to get it fixed or am I better off just getting a new camera?

  • gtsherry Mar 27, 2008

    Not only has my flash stopped working, but I also have the problem with my battery door not closing properly. I have tried to reset the flash, but it does nothing. The battery door, well.... I just try to hold it shut with my thumb while I am taking a picture. I have had the camera for awhile and I loved it up to this point. Please help!

  • u_libra87 Jul 13, 2008

    The flash is not working.When I press the up control then also its not getting activated..Also a continous number like E:90.1 is flashing continously

  • laxlyss Aug 04, 2008

    I have an exilim EX-Z57... I've had it for about two years...I dropped it a few times.. a few dents here and there. I tart up the camera fully charged and it takes pictures...only without flash. Since pictures look better with flash on my camera, I'm naturally pissed. I am just wondering would the drops have done it? If anyone knows explain the science behind it ( circuit board for ex.) 


    I'd like to know any ways t fix it myself.
    And if not, who I should go to for help for something cheap and efficient.
    How much do you think it would cost?

The flash bulb or tube does not go off suddenly. it gets weak after yers of usege or breaks only if the camera is dropped. most of the flash related problems occour for non charging of the flash. pls contact local repairer for this problem

I have had this problem.  HP support was useless.  My problem occured just before the warrantee expired, so I called HP and they suggested that the battery wasn't supplying a sufficient charge.  They gave me a free battery and it worked for a month, then the flash stopped working again.  I called them back, but they now said I was out of warrantee and pointed me to a page of refurbished cameras that I could purchase.  Thanks, but no thanks.  They label says made in China, so I suspect substandard Capacitors that power the flash have failed.  I still use the camera as a backup when I don't need to use a flash the flash.  I've opened up the camera to locate the capacitor, but found too many connectors and didn't have the time go completely disassemble the whole thing.  I've put it back and it still works.

I will no longer buy HP products.  Their customer service is lacking and they have lost me as a customer.
