Question about Nikon COOLPIX L4 Digital Camera

The flash won't work!

My L4 has been working fine with no problems until I tried switching it on a couple of days ago and despite having changed none of the settings, the flash won't work at all. The continuous setting is set at single, the BSS isn't on, the flash is currently set to AUTO and I've tried changing the batteries and making sure the option is set according to the type of battery I'm attempting to use (rechargeable or non-rechargeable). I'm at a loss - can anyone suggest anything? Other than taking it back to where I bought it from and seeing if they can help? Thanks

Hold it to your ear and listing for the singing noise the capacitor should make when charging up. If you cant hear this then it is dead Flash units are integral to the main board usually A new camera is the only cure. However try Nikon Technical support before giving up completely

I hope that you can use the warrantee.

Otherwize, it must be possible to repair it with a fried comfortable with electronic because the problem is not permanent. This kind of problem is usually an old capacitor or a bad connection (soldering).
It would be important to check if changing the ambiant temperature fixes the problem. (I.E. move it to the seller for 2h and try..)

The flash has stopped working. It worked fine a couple days ago but now, nothing. I have made sure that the flash is turned on, but its still not working. None of the setting (auto, red-eye reduction etc.)

It seems like a circuit board fault, u will have to give it to the service centre.

Thankyou

This is generally the case, especially for cameras older than 9 months.
Repairs including the shipping from to - from Nikon are usually around $150.

You would be better off buying a Nikon L18 for under $129

I work in the camera dept. of a certain store, and we always recommend the service plan for these occasions!
