When i attempt to turn my tg 310 it makes a ticking/ringing sound and will not open? Is there anything I can do to repair it myself?

This can be caused by a failing battery pack.

i have same problem too....who can help me fix it?please .....

Sound like card id damaged, try a new card.

Do you have Windows Live Photo Gallery? It comes with Windows 7, but if not you can download it here: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-live/photo-gallery-get-started

1. Open Windows Live Photo Gallery
2. Connect your camera
3. Click the Import icon in the top left corner.
4. Select your Olympus and click import. It should import both photos and videos.

You can also try and select the videos you want using the file download module Windows displays when a new device is plugged in. If that doesn't work, try

1. Start > Computer > Olympus Tough TG-310
2. Then open the folders until you find the videos you want. Select them and copy them to your desktop (or any other preferred location).

I have had video issues with my Olympus TOUGH (could not delete them from the camera) which turned out to be a formatting problem with the memory card.

Camera CCD unit fault. Repair cost approx 100$.

If the camera is within warranty, return it to where you bought it. Common fault with a few different brands, to do with a lens open sensor within the lens assembly itself. Maybe allow the camera to dischage without the battery for a few hours and see does it power on with a new battery. Also chack the battery, if it has bubbled it a dud, and check the battery contacts within the battery compartment.

The Olympus Tough TG-310 digital camera is a waterproof device that has great power to withstand any type of harsh weather conditions. This device has been engineered in such as way that you can simply put it in water, but remember that it can only sink up to 10-feet of water.

There is very little that can be done, salt water will corrode metal on contact, all eletronic parts have been compromised, if the memory card is still intact save your pictures and remove it from the camera to transfer to new hardware. Replacing the camera unfortuneately is the only option.

Your rechargeable battery is no longer serviceable. You need to replace it with a new battery. This camera uses one Olympus lithium ion battery*. No
other type of batteries can be used.
* TG-310: LI-42B
TG-610: LI-50B
Caution:
There is a risk of explosion if the battery is replaced with the incorrect battery type.
If you would like the manual, please send me an email to [email protected] and I will send it to you right away. Please put "Olymp TG-310" as the subject. Lawrence Brown

This sounds like you have had a flyback transformer failure and the ticking could be the protection circuits preventing the TV from starting.
As TV's have very dangerous voltages present internally, take it to your local TV repairman.
It is not worth the risk of attempting this type of repair yourself unless you know exactly what you are doing.
Even if this is a simple failure, those voltages are still present and I would not advise you attempt anything yourself.
