Olympus camedia c5060 only blank screen - Olympus Camedia C-5060 Wide Zoom Digital Camera

it's the button that has a trash can icon. just to the left of the thumbwheel that's under the shutter button

you need to reset the camera some models have a small reset buton where the batter goes into. if not the lcd screen shorted out (happened to my older olympus) and had ssame issue as yours sorry for the bad news

I am sending it in for repair.

Not exactly for your problem but a illustrated manual how to fix the mode dial problem and how to disassemble the 5060: http://www.wrotniak.net/photo/c-wz/c5060-dial.html

Why did you get a 'new' computer with an unsupported OS ?

Hi I have the same focusing problem, the camera was fine until it was switched in to Super Macro, since then the camera will not focus either manually or auto

Just use Picasa as an alternative.

First, let's get the obvious/simple things out of the way, just to be thorough :) :
Power off the PC, leave ten seconds, power on again then try it.

Have you tried it with another USB cable
Have you tried it on another USB port on the PC (if you've been using a front port, try a back one & vice-versa - they're often controlled by different chips).

Assuming none of those work, the most likely cause is a corrupted USB driver. To fix this:
* Make sure the camera's USB cable is not plugged into the PC.
* Uninstall the Olympus software (Camedia Master) if you have installed it.

Now delete the C5060 device as follows:

* Go to the Control Panel. Double click on System. Click on the Hardware tab and then click "Device manager".

* Go to the View menu and click "Show hidden devices".

*Scroll to the bottom of the device list and expand the USB list. You will see some USB Mass storage devices.

* Go through the list: double click on one, wait for its properties sheet to open and look at the Location. It will have something like:

Location 0 (C5060Z ).

Hit "Esc" to close the property sheet. If it was the right one, delete it (select it with the mouse and hit Delete). If it was the wrong one, proceed to the next one.

* Close Device manager.

* Reinstall the Olympus software if you are using it.

* Plug the camera's USB cable into the PC as usual. If all goes well, you'll get the "Found new hardware" message and it will proceed to reinstall the driver, following which all should be well.

Could be the mode dial as well.....give it a shot!
