Edge of battery door was broken

Yea I did same to my Kodak digital camera. You may find someone who can fix it - its just a small little part to replace. But in my case, I went a camera repair place where they gave me the "i dunno" look & said it could take weeks cost this much or that much. Anyway, I discovered that by wrapping electrical tape around the lithium battery I could wedge the battery in so that I could use the camera, yippee. And that worked great until the entire camera had a heart attack & died.
