When i turn it on the zoom opens but the screen is black and wont take pics when i shut it off the zoom starts to go in but comes back out

SOURCE: powers off only when I hit the zoom button......

The zoom mechanism is shot- Kodak will quote a repair price you wont like.

SOURCE: Kodak Easyshare DX7630 screen is black and won't take anymore pic

your image sensor is bad it will have to be replaced by a camera technician .

SOURCE: Kodak v803 wont turn on

i had the same problem, if you try to turn the lens in as if you turning a dile, the lens will go back in manually once you have the lens completly in again, as if the camera is switched off, then turn the camera back on at the power button and the camera will operate as normal, this worked for me i hope it works for you too.

SOURCE: screen turns black after taking a picture

If the cam has never been dropped i would suspect a software issue.
Check the manual and see if there is a master reset, if so try it and see if that solves the issue. if not i would tend to think you will need service.
As i doubt there is little that can be done from the outside of the cam to
correct the problem.

SOURCE: My Kodak V1233, isn't working right. If I turn it

Make sure that you are installing a fresh/ full charge battery
Remove the battery
Clean the metal contacts on the battery using a clean cloth

Pls test with an alt. batt.
If you do not have access to a dif. battery.
Pls. take the batt out of the camera. Insert the charger into the unit from the main socket and turn the camera on. If the camera works you will need to replace the batt. If not you will need to order a No power repair.
