Question about HP Photosmart M307 Digital Camera
My HP M307 will display menu items in the LCD screen but the camera will not capture pictures and the screen is dark during screen capture. I downloaded the latest firmware 1.11 which did not help. The camera has captured very few pictures, less than 100 during its less than two year life and has never been abused or dropped. Help!
A very common problem with many Digital cameras. It sounds as if you are suffering from either a CCD problem or a video board problem. Impossible to tell without it being on the bench to check. You could dismantle it and check there's nothing adrift such as flat ribbon cables in their sockets or loose plugs and sockets between the printed circuit boards. Watch out for the flash unit it can give you a nasty shock if it's charged. Most cameras seem to built to last as long as the warranty and then die. This keeps you coming back for more. At least you were lucky to get 2 years out of yours before it passed on.

Yea, I'm having the exact same problem. My screen is also very "shaky". I think I'm going to try what is suggested and look for loose connections.
Screen displays menu and other pictures but the camera will not take a picture.
none, trying to research on line. It appears that I have purchased a piece of junk, only used 4 times, 4 days, not weeks or months.
There was no display in LCD it wont take pictuees
