Camera does not turn on and on occasion flashes "battery depleted" even
with new pair of batteries or freshly charged NiMH. Would the firmware
failure replacement cure the disease? How much would it be without warranty?

Thanks

Camera comes on. screen shows OPTIO AND AT BOTTOM V1.01 THATS ALL- none of the funtions work. camera won't shut offf. have to open battery cover to shut off.

If you can get into the menu system, find "reset" in the set-up menu. If not, remove the card and battery...press every button....leave it alone for 20 minutes...insert the card and then the battery...turn it on.....this is called a "hard reset" and sometimes works.

PROBLEM WITH PENTAX OPTIO E10

Sounds like battery life is gone. If there rechargeable batteries they might not be holding a charge anymore.

If your camera has a power cord that plug into your camera to charge the battery does it do the same thing?

If it doesn't have a power cord, what happens when you plug the camera into your computer?
