Question about Pentax Optio S5z Digital Camera

Pentax s5z doesn't take any more pictures

The camera switches on and you can see that the monitor works fine, but none of the buttons are operating. THe camera fails to take any pictures, neither does it zoom in/out, etc. Yesterday I took a video using it and switched it off, and ever since than, it stopped working. I recharged the battery, but it didn't help.

I lost the old memory card of my pentax and decided to buy a new one, but when I inserted the new memory card in my camera refuse to work. There's no light on the screen and all the buttons don't function. It automatically closes though. Does anybody knows why this is so?

Here's another method to fix this problem.
Push the ON Button for some while and you will go to MEMO recording screen, in this mode the MENU button works and you can RESET the camera.
Cheers Phil

My nikon coolpix s6300 won't let me view the pictures i have taken on the camera.

I can only offer this: (sorry if it does not help)
When the micro USB Cable is plugged into the camera you MAY be able to take photos. The camera MAY work normally EXCEPT for the MONITOR or Screen. The screen is TURNED off when you plug in the cord.

Mine did the same thing a few weeks ago. I reformatted the memory card and now works fine. Be sure to save everything to your computer first as this process will delete the current pictures.

Canon PowerShot G2 buttons don't work

You have a bad button board . This is a single board with a series of small button switches that control all these functions. Most repair shop will charge around 75.00 to fix.

Camera goes to sleep too quickly...is there a way to adjust?

To save battery power, the camera automatically goes into sleep mode and the monitor turns off if there is no operation after 3 minutes when the camera is turned on (when the lens cover is open and the monitor is on). No picture is taken even if the shutter button is fully pressed in this mode. Operate the zoom button or other buttons to restore the camera from sleep mode before taking a picture. If the camera is left on for 15 minutes, it automatically turns off (the lens cover closes and the monitor turns off). Press POWER to turn the camera on.

CM2019 LCD MONITOR NO PICTURE

Sounds like an inverter problem. If the power supply is internal replace the capacitors coming out of the voltage regulators. These are usually 1000mf and/or 470mf. If that doesn't do the trick look up the numbers on the 8-pin chips that drive the secondary transformers on the inverter to see if they are getting the right voltages.
Good Luck!
