Well I dont think the computer field is a problem. You could clean up the contacts in the battery chamber with the eraser on the end of a pencil - just in case the warmth from the computer caused the batts to sweat. Do get onto Canon Tech Support. But cheaply? Nah ! Any paid for repair will be almost as expensive as getting a new camera.

How do I take a picture with the date and time stamp in the picture

The date stamp only works in "Postcard" resolution. Press the "Func Set" button, then scroll down to the bottom to select postcard resolution.

Then press the menu button. Select the "Camera" menu, then scroll down to the the Date Time Stamp selection to turn it on.

The batteries never stay charge even when new one are inserted

Some of The Canon Powershot A530 and A540 cameras are subject to an advisory recall. Seems that a small spring on the battery compartment door can short out the batteries. Suspect this of yours, in that you mention that your batteries aren't lasting long. If your camera is on the list, Canon should fix this for you for free, including free shipping both ways. This is regardless of your camera's warranty status. Please see this link for more info.

My canon powershot A530 WONT TURN ON!!!!

Check the batteries, and if they are bad, replace them. If it has rechargable batteries, just get rid of them and try regular alkaline batteries. That should be the fix.

Green Light Turns on, Sound of turning on, lens comes out, but then goes back in a turns off. . .It's not the batteries. PLEASE HELP ME!

Note that some batteries just don't hack it in digital cameras, even if new. This is especially true for those "super heavy duty" batteries:

OK, so it's definitely not the batteries. A few of The Canon Powershot A530 and A540 cameras are subject to an advisory recall.

I have a canon A530 digital camera and its mode switch on the right top corner has broken and is lost and we cannot download photos to our computer, etc

To download the pictures, remove the SD/MMC card from the camera (in the battery compartment) by pushing on it, then releasing it, and putting it in an SD/MMC card reader connected to your computer.

Problems with the battery and the flash on my canon powershot A530

Hi, On another brand/model of a digicam, a similar problem was fixed by cleaning the battery terminals/contacts. The ends of the terminals that pushes on the battery were partially corroded hence the batteries were not getting full contact. They were cleaned by scraping off the corrosion and applying a strong solvent using cotton buds. Further, they were bend a little to add more pressure to the batteries. If the above does not work, it is possible that the flash charging circuitry is defective and drawing much power than it should normally be. Try operating the digicam with the flash off. If this likewise is a "no joy", perhaps your camera would need the services of a qualified professional. Hope this be of some idea/help. Post back how things turn up or should you need further information. Good luck and kind regards.
