Pentax Optio W30 Won't "Open" correctly

After ON is pressed camera is supposed to open at a screen where I select date-time-language. It does not and there is nothing in the manual to help. Manual simply assume camera will open to correct page. Manipulation of 4way controller is no help; it suggests only different focus modes.

Does the camera switch on at all? Can you proceed with other normal operations? Is there in the manual a reset option?

Best thing about this camera is it works great. The worst thing is the factory will not fix or help you get it repaired. They are a very great camera when they work but have a very bad history of failure that is cheaper to throw away and buy a Sony! For the price Sony is a Great Camera and just keep getting better!

Can the date be printed on the photos?

Hi, I found this on the Pentax website.
It looks like you cannot print the date directly from the camera but you can do it using other options.
.

How can I print the date on my pictures?

You can print the date on your picture using a DPOF compatible printer or at a printing service or by using the provided software ACDSee for PENTAX.

Dark LCD screen

I have a sony cybershot DSC-S650, the LCD was very dark and could not see anything except if I pointed it at a bright object, everything else worked ok. I could take pictures but could barely see them in playback as well.

I took it to Sony authorised repair outlet and was told the CCD was damaged, they charged me USD $55 to repair it (in Quito, Ecuador)

Managing the Time and Date

I have found the answer to the date problem. The date is hidden and will not show up unless you insert it during printing. When printing in ACDsee select print image, then click on the CAPTION tab, and de-select the box the says "insert date at lower RH corner" or somthing like that. Once it is de-selected it will stay off untill you select it again. By the way you can look into the camera with Microsoft explorer, or any program to copy or open the picture. In my case it is "drive G". I opened Photoshop and drilled down into the camera through drive G, and was able to open the photo without any special dedicated program.

I dropped a pentax optio W30. Upon inspection it I dropped a pentax optio W30. Upon inspection it looked a little 'swollen'. I took out all the screws, popped out the interior to take a look and put it back together. Inside looked okay, except a few plastic holding pieces for screws were broken and a small hook on the mother board was detached near the button for shooting pics. DO you think it is fixable? Now that I put it back together nothing happens.
