Camera is making strange noise

I'm not sure what happened but. I finally got some batteries for my camera, but when I put it in and turned it on, it does this whizzing noise and it won't turn on the camera, the noise only stops when I put it on 'setup'. What's wrong with it? im pretty sure I never dropped it badly or spilled water or anything.

Blurry pictures and beeping noises
It could be the lens is damaged on the inside (Gears and so).
But before you make any conclusion. try to switch the camera to auto mode and make sure the camera is not in the macro mode.
To start, switch of the camera, remove the batty and leave it out several seconds. perhaps you also should charge the battery on an external charger,but if you are sure it is charged, after a few moment reinsert the battery. Then switch the camera to the automatic mode and check if it is not in Macro. (when you see the flower on the screen it is in macro)
If it is still acting the same you made the right conclusion in the question above. (I hope you are wrong but if not, you start looking for another camera)

My camera will not power on - the red light flashes. I charged the battery this has never happened before...
The flashing light indicates it is not making it through it's self test without an error. Has it been exposed to something strange? Customs perhaps? The other thing is to go to a battery shop and ask if the battery is ok? I had this happen when the camera had been in storage a long while. no one recalled what happened. I put the camera under a warm light 100watt bulb 12inches above on a black cloth for one hour. battery out. then I put the fresh charged battery into the warm camera and it came back to life. I figured it's internal battery was drained and warming it was just enough to power through the self test.

DSC-S950 camera problem help!!!!
There is definitely some sand or dust stuck in the lens well between the body and the lens housing. Use your vacuum cleaner to pullout the dust particles from there. It is this stuckup dust that is making the noise. Also while pulling out the dust keep powering on and off the camera.

My camera wont turn on.
If the lens is stuck inside the camera and you hear a motor noise - changing batteries will not help. This has happened because the lens barrel is jammed inside the camera. Unfortunately, you will not be able to repair that issue. If the lens is stuck outside the camera, slightly tilted, and you hear a motor noise; you might be able to save camera. First, only use good batteries (stay away from alkaline batteries - waste of money), go with Energizer Lithium or Duracell Power Pix (you will get your moneys worth and have less problems with the camera). Second, very GENTLY, pull the lens barrel up and in the opposite direction of the tilt (to make the lens barrel straight), you will hear a slight click sound - DO NOT PUSH ON THE LENS BARREL!!!. Put in the new batteries and the lens should retract.

FE-280 Lens Blurry Photos and no zoom turns off
You have a bad lens. Unless the camera is in warranty the cost of repairing the lens is higher than the value of your camera. The strange noise you hear is the lens motor trying to move the lens. One solution is to blow compressed air around the lens. Sometimes dust and dirt may jam the lens.

My camera will not turn on
I have the same camera. And it happens sometimes. Make sure you put batteries for digital cameras and not alkaline batteries, those are not powerful enough. Make sure that the polarity is good. I don't see what else wouldn't work.

Pixpro AZ528 brand new doesn't turn on Yesterday I bought a Kodak Pixpro AZ528, got it home put together, and it wouldn't turn on. When plugged into the wall the screen said battery 100%. The charging indicator then went off. Unplugged from wall, still wouldn't turn on. Returned and got a different of the same camera, and it's doing the exact same thing. I've tried resetting while plugged into the charger, holding power button 20 seconds (as suggested somewhere else) to no avail. Seems weird that two of the same brand new cameras wouldn't work. Any suggestions?
