OLYMPUS FE-240 digital camara can't use port to unload photos

The Olympus FE-240 Digital Camera is a cheap model.

For what it would cost to repair it, you could buy a good Cannon

Not every model of the cameras can charge the battery by USB cable. It seems you need a OLYMPUS Li-42B Battery Charger Or a USB power adapter You also can by a Li-42b battery and charger set to save another $2 Wish helpful for you

I put the memory card in and on some of my photos it shows the pictures and others it says picture error. Also, when I go to view all pictures, it doesn't show them, they're just blank black boxes.

some computers just seem to do that, it happened on me before. if you have a card reader just put the card into that and read the pictures from that.or just try a differant port if you havent allready

Be sure that you plug original Olympus USB cable directly into USB port on mother board (ussualy on the back side of PC) not on the front pannel hub and not into extention USB cable.

you can go to futur shop

You can transfer the photos directly from the camera to the PC using the USB cable that came with the camera. You don't need to transfer the pics to memory card first.

Connect the cable to the camera and the PC. Turn on the camera and your PC will recognise it as an external storage device. Use the PC's software to transfer the photos from camera to PC.

Once you have the pics on the PC you can use the Olympus Master software included with the camera to edit and archive the photos on the PC.

go to manual mode and keep settings in which flash will come for sure.

Remove the Software
Restert the Computer
Plug camera in and turn on set it to the upload mode.
Windows will then fid it via the Camera/Scanner Wizard.
If there is still a problem
A cheap card reader will do the trick

Unless someone else on the forum offers something more specific, I'd be very tempted to borrow a USB cable from a friend and see if using that instead of yours works. (Doesn't have to be from an Olympus camera - anything that has the same connectors on - camera, MP3 player, etc lead will do). A.
