Switches off whenever I try put it into photo mode
The camera switches on fine, when the dial is set to preview pictures. Then, When the dial is turned to any photo mode (when the lens would usually come out) the camera clicks twice (i think this is the apeture opening and closing), beeps then switches off.
If you switch the camera on when the dial is already on any of the take photo modes, it clicks, beeps and switches off. Sometimes it does this little cycle 2 or 3 times before powering off.
Its not the batteries, we have tried replacing them.
Have tried switching the camera on when the dial is on each setting. All settings turn it back off except preview more - when the lense isnt required.
Have tried pressing the take photo button after it powers off - this causes it to click, beep then switch off again.
If I am required to take it to pieces, which screws should I remove? I can see 2 screws on each end and 3 on the bottom.

Perhaps you check the settings. If the camera is on nightshot, or manual, with a long shutter time or wilde open diafragma your pictures are all overblown, or stripes come from lights. Put the camera in automatic. The main dial on the green camera logo, and try again. If this does not work, Please let me know how the settings are on your camera. Success
There are different settings. You can view the past photos because you are using the viewer for that, but you have a setting off in the menu. You need to turn on view photo or preview photo after picture taken.
I am not sure what it is in the Canon line, but look in your manual for the setting.
This is a problem on the motherboard, sort of like a solenoid that controls the functions of on/off mode and video still mode. it needs a service and possibley a patrt replaced Hope its unjder warranty as it expesnive
Switch D80 on. Reset the camera by pressing the two buttons with a green dot beneath them on the top of the D80, right hand side. The buttons are AF and +-. These must be pressed together at the same time for a few seconds. This is just in case you have set something strange, you do not need to do this all the time.
Set the command dial to Auto. Set the button on the lower front/left hand side to AF. Set the lens to A.
Now you can just take pictures, the D80 will autofocus and set the exposure itself.
Do you mean you are expecting it to show the photo that you just took for a few seconds before it goes back to preview mode? There's a menu setting which I think is called "Picture Review" and you can set it for something like 0, 2 seconds, 5 seconds, something like that.
The symptoms you're describing could be caused by either the "Fireworks" special scene selection mode, or manual mode with too much exposure compensation. Look at your mode selector (back of the camera, upper left hand corner). Is the mode set to the still image setting (pointing at the liittle red camera)? Or is it set to special scene selection (SCN)?
If you are unintentionally in SCN mode, to get it out of "Fireworks", just turn the mode selector dial to select "still image" (pointing at the little red camera). Or you can also select an SCN mode more appropriate for outdoors. Just turn the dial to SCN, press the FUNC button, then press the left/right arrow buttons to select Portrait, Beach, Snow etc...
But if your mode selector is already in still image selection, then check to make sure that you're not in "Manual" picture mode. Turn the mode selector dial to "still picture mode" (pointing at the little red camera), then press the "FUNC" button. Now look at the bottom of the screen. If it says "Manual", press the "left" button controller once to select and put the camera in "Auto" still picture mode.
I would try changing the memorised info that you put into your My1 settings and see if that helps. I just got my V700 today and the first thing I did was put my preferences into My1. I don't really know why your camera is transferring this to your video setting but try removing your presettings in My1.
Make sure you look straight through the viewfinder. Keep in mind that the area visible through the viewfinder is slightly smaller than the area captured in the photo. If you're taking a close-up or macro mode picture, turn the camera dial to the LCD mode so that you can use your LCD screen to preview your picture.

While in picture taking mode, press that button. It will restore your viewer.
