Olympus tough 8000 turns on for 5 seconds then powers off

I have charged the batteries, removed them and reset the camera, pulled the SD card, and still have the same problem. If the camera is being charged or connected to a power source it will allow me to view pictures. It will not allow me to take pictures or scroll thru the settings once it is d/ced fro the power source. after 5 secs it just powers off.

SOURCE: card cover open

The problem you are describing is a problem with a sensor that is on the card cover door. It seems to have failed and needs to be replaced. Following are the instructions to send your camera to Olympus for service.http://olympusamerica.com/cpg_section/cpg_servicerepair.aspOlympus will charge a flat rate repair fee for this product if beyond the one year factory warranty or the warranty is voided. The cost is $124 plus your local sales tax. This covers parts and labor, factory cleaning and diagnostic check, 6 month warranty and the cost of shipping the product back to you is all included in that price.

your lens may be damaged...your zoom assignments may need to be realligned if there are no broken parts. If there are broken parts in your lens it may be better to get a new lens

SOURCE: Olympus FE-330 won't turn on..... URGENT!

If it is a rechargeable battery, it may be bad. Start with that first. If your camera will accept standard AA batteries try those too. (just to test) Your 330 requires a LI42B or LI40B battery.
Check page 47 of your manual. Tells you about the battery. Your described problem sure points to a bad battery. Don't have the manual?? Download it here free.
Thats a nice camera you have.

SOURCE: Olympus 7010 shuts down in picture mode - not a battery problem

I will tell you how I did it for the same price you were going to charge me for a solution. To ask how I did it once I found a solution without a fee goes against your business model.

Olympus Tough-8000 Flash Charging Warning

It could be the capacitor in the flash is defect, but it also could be your battery (batteries) are to low on voltage. ALthough when that happens the camera should switch of.
There could be all other kinds of defects, like oxidation of some contacts or a broken flat cable in the camera, But my guess is the capacitor does not charge to the correct voltage.

The camera hit the floor once and now everytime I try to take another picture or delete a picture it will show "Write Protect". I made sure the lock on the SD card was unlocked and it STILL...

Go into the menu and try to find "reset" to get back to factory default settings. If you can't, try this...remove the card and battery...press every button....leave it alone for 20 minutes....insert the battery and the card....turn it on.

MicroSD atchment write protect

The microSD card has no visible write protect tab that you can access: you need to use a Micro-SD to SD/mini-SD adapter that usually comes with your Micro-SD card and use the ON/OFF sliding tab on the adapter to disable or enable the wiite protection on your Micro-SD card: test the access via the adapter card before removing it.
Hope it helps: let me know how you go!
