Question about Samsung Digimax S500 Digital Camera

Beeps/not coming on

The camera will only beep when the power button is pushed. I suspect it has gotten sand in it. Is there anyway to fix this that will not cost more then the value of the camera? Thank you!

If you are sure it has got sand in it, then the only thing you can do to fix it for more than a couple of uses is to get it open and clean the sand out. If you have access to dry air (not diving bottles or gas station tyre air if possible) then you can probably open it up and try yourself. Be aware that this is not the best way unless you have the right tools to open it and the knowledge to understand the inside. Take it to a service centre if you are in ANY doubt. ask again with general location details and we can find a service centre near you. Here is the link to the user manual if you need it; http://org.downloadcenter.samsung.com/downloadfile/ContentsFile.aspx?CDSite=HQ&CttFileID=1390763&CDCttType=UM&ModelType=N&ModelName=DIGIMAX-S500B&VPath=UM/200703/20070331074441859_DigimaxS500_S600_ENG.pdf Check page 59 of the pdf (page 58 of the manual) for the reset instructions - worth a try before doing anything drastic. Hope this helps :)

Hi
Remove the sound card and blow the slot with dry air to rid off dust.
Examine it to make sure nothing's damaged and fix it again.
Checkout the RAM's.Probably remove them,wipe the slots off dust and fix them again.Make sure they're well seated on their slots.

First check the battery. Charge the battery to full condition or change with new battery and try to turn on your camera.
Or you can put off all batteries and memory card, wait for a moment, then put in again and turn on your camera.

Hope this help

My samsung pl100 wont turn on. the lens is extended and its fully charged the green light comes on then beeps and shuts off. This camera is brand new ive only had it 1 week! how do i fix it?

OK this might sound harsh but i just did this. I pushed in, gently with some force, on the lens while pushing the power button. It made a gawd awful crunch sound, but it worked. Good luck.

Beeps three times but does not come on, changed batteries, zoom stuck... not going back in

I found this answer on another forum. I giggled the lens as it was stuck out and then pushed the power button to guide it back closed. Then I gave it a soft whack on my palm when the lens was closed. I think I had a piece of sand stuck where the lens goes in and out. I also made sure that the battery type was Ni-Mh instead of alkaline on the menu. This is a recurring problem with Samsung cameras.

My samsung l830 camera lens is stuck open and when i press the power button it beeps 3 times and remains blue then does nothing

If the lens on the camera is stuck out, look to see if it's a little crooked. If it is, try to gently straighten it. If it still won't retract, try to gently push it in as you turn the power on.
If it won't turn on (the green light blinks and it beeps 3 times) push and hold the 'power' button and the 'play' button at the same time for a few seconds - it worked for my S730. Good luck!
