You're charging by connecting to a computer's USB port? The MSDC simply indicates that the camera recognizes the connection to the computer. It should go away when you disconnect the camera from the computer.

SOURCE: Blue Screen MSDC

You should only get that screen when it's charging on the wall charger or when it is hooked up to your computer via the USB cord.

SOURCE: is my camera charging when plugged in with usb

The charge light on the back of the camera will light red while charging and go out when fully charged. Your camera should have also come with a separate battery charger if the above method doesn't work.

SOURCE: I get the blue screen with MSDC on it, it doesn't turn on unless plugged into the wall/electronic device, it wont turn off after I get the blue screen unless I unplug it, and it's been chargin

It is charging by USB port using ac adapter, can also charge by computer USB port during picture uploads and downloads. Do you need an instruction manual.

My battery and memory card are in correctly, and it has been "charging for two days, but everytime I turn it on a blue screen that reads MSDC comes on and no matter what buttons I press nothing...

The MSDC simply tells you that the camera is connected to the computer. In order to use the camera to take pictures, you have to disconnect it from the camera.

I just bought the camera and am trying to charge it. I am not getting an LED light but instead a blue screen that says "MSDC" in white letters. I have checked the battery and storage disk...

Are you charging it by plugging it into a computer? The "MSDC" you see usually means "Mass Storage Device Class", which basically means the computer is using the storage on the camera as a removable drive. This would usually happen when plugging a camera into the computer via USB. There is usually an AC adapter that comes with a camera, or a separate charger for just the battery. If there was no charger that came with it, the camera is probably still charging. If the camera is on, try turning it off and plugging it in. Remember, even if it shows "MSDC", it is probably still charging. Hope this helps!

My vivitar vivicam 8025 has been charging for a while and it wont turn on with out the charger . when connected to the charger and turned on it says MSDC on a blue screen.

Make sure the battery is in the camara correctly. I had the problem with the blue screen and MSDC showing and it would not hold a charge. the battery has to be in correctly. It will go in wrong and look right so match up the silver three marks on the battery to the three marks inside the camara where the battery goes. It worked after i did that. Hope this helps!!!
