I bought a Polaroid Snap. After I loaded the film the blue card came out. I then tried, several times to take a picture but no picture has come out of the camera. I don't understand what is wrong.

When you take a picture of darkness, are you using flash or uprating the film ? More seriously, as the film is thirteen years out of date, I seriously doubt if it is still viable. The chemicals within the film pack will have deteriorated over time, and it is my guess that they may well have leaked into the film pack's internal mechanism, thus preventing the photos being ejected. Try again with fresh film.
Burns?? could it be that what your seeing is a "corona" (brown ,with white and orange ) if so I bet your film compartment is letting in light , this happens on vintage equipment because they used velour type material as seal on film door and other places and it drys out over time and allows light in
also is your shutter working properly ??(clik don't mean working) a mt camera with film door open shown toward light source shouldn't allow light thru , wouldn't be the first vintage shutter that ive ever heard of sticking
First of all you can't use that film anymore. If it gets ejected, it gets exposed to light which causes the film to develop.
Also the film was already exposed when you didn't load it in the camera yet. When you buy a new cassette (that's the film holder) there's a darkslide on top. This darkslide prevents light to get to the film. When you load your camera, the darkslide ejects immediately. That is what happens to your last film. The camera recognizes it as a new cassette and ejects the darkslide, but in this case it's the film.
More than likely, the camera is ok. It sounds like the film is either expired, or the previous owner did not store the film properly, therefore it cannot be exposed properly. If you bought it off of ebay, you do not know how the previous owner took care of the film. To narrow this problem down, I would get new film and try it again, hopefully this will work, but if not, it will further your troubleshooting efforts.
First, remove the remaining films from the camera. (while your camera is switched off)
Second, press on both the shutter button and the power button at the same time. (to reset)
Third, reload a new set of polaroid films into the camera.
Hope it helps!
Maybe battery is working but barely. Try using another film pack. Make sure usin a new film pack something like Impossible Project 600 Film packs.
Anyway unless you are a collector or it has some sentimental value I would move to one of these new Instant Cameras . These cameras work better and new Polaroid film and Instax film are way better. Twice or more cheaper too.
