Question about Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-S40 Digital Camera

1 Answer

So frustrating. Turn off and Turn on again.

Every time I turn my camera on it says "turn off and turn on again". I have tried leaving the rechargeable battery out of the camera. I have tried resetting it. Any more suggestions?

There are two possible defective parts on your camera, is the lens cover will open upon power on? if yes, then lens cover motor is OK. if not its defective. Assumming, lens cover is OK, does lens assy pop-out upon power on? If not then, lens assy is defective, replace it. Thanks

Fuji HS20EXR wont turn on after turning off
A defective rechargeable battery caused this on my camera, not sure about the blue haze though. Make sure battery is good or use fresh alkalines.

Pentax k2000 won't save time and date
In most modern cameras is a little rechargeable battery, that keeps the clock ticking. If your camera was a long time without power, perhaps this battery has died. I would buy a new set NiMH rechargeable or recyclo batteries, because they have a bit less capacity, but can hold power for as long as a year. Then charge them and leave the rechargeable batteries in your camera. Keep your fingers crossed, perhaps the little clock battery will be revived?

Camera is stuck with lens out and won't turn on or
If this camera takes ordinary batteries you may have inserted them the wrong way around.
If it takes a rechargeable pack recharge it for average time recommended and try again.

Won't stay on
Mine does this all the time, I just try to push on the bottom where the batteries go in to make sure it maintains a solid connection. Also i just recharge them again, It seems every single time I use my camera I have to recharge the batteries, regardless of how long I used them.

Camera Temperature
mine is an everio gz-mg37u and i get that same bulls*** on the screen at every power up. First I tried waiting a while then switching all the switches between camera and video mode, record and watch mode, etc. and one time it worked and the message went away. Haven't been able to do that since.

Now what I do is turn it on, wrap it in a blanket, leave it about 10 minutes, then turn the power off and on again. Works fine for me, and if I turn it off and then turn it back on within a few minutes before it cools down, it works fine. There has to be a messed up sensor in this thing that I can desolder somewhere......

Left power on
Hey raggedarmi,
Leaving the camera on for an extended period of time should not cause the camera to no longer turn on. Make sure the lens cap is not on the camera when you turn it on, and make sure you are not using manganese batteries because they don't work with this camera. The camera will not operate while connected to a computer so make sure you are not connected to a computer. The camera might be in sleep mode so try pushing the shutter button or hitting the zoom lever. If none of these options work try putting in a brand new set of AA batteries and see if that works and if it does it probably means your rechargeable batteries are bad.

Sincerely,
Allan

Weird problem. Camedia d-520 doesn't turn on. Blinks and Beeps.
I'm having the same problem with mine. Happens on rechargeables or brand new standard batteries as well. Very frustrating. I can't take more than 2 videos in a row without the dreaded orange/green lights flashing (low battery warning). Leaving it for 10-20 minutes and it works again, with the battery charge showing full.
