I have a Polaroid t1031 Digital camera that I've only had since last Christmas. It has never been dropped or mishandled. However, the flash no longer works on it? The flash doesn't seem to be physically "broken" but it does not work....

You need ti take it to a digital camera repairer for repairs.

Format the memory card using the camera's Menu - select Format memory card.

To change the ISO on your Polaroid t1031, please do the following:

1. Turn your camera on
2. Press the FUNC (Function) button (right button on bottom right of device next to the LCD)
3. Use the Up/Down, Left/Right buttons to move through the menu.
4. Scroll down to the option that reads ISO AUTO and press the SET button (located in the middle of the arrow buttons) to bring up the different ISO options available to you (see Fig 1 below)
5. Use the arrow keys to navigate the different ISO options and press the SET button to confirm your selection.
6. If the menu does not close on its own after making your selection, press the FUNC button to close.
7. Thats it! Your ISO setting has been changed.

Try NOT connecting your camera to your computer.

The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries.

Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive, the same way you copy any other files. Or you can use any photo cataloging program.

Hello. When a digital camera will not stay on, it is a sign that the battery is low or that the battery is bad. Put the charger on the battery and see if this cures the problem. If it does not, you will have to purchase a new battery. J.

to try and fix this(i have done it before) , pull it out when it is on , you have nothing to lose and manually assist it to open, try to get contamination out. replacing lense is probably not worth the cost

I have the same camera and that happens to mine sometimes. That happens when something wasn't right when you took the picture. If you press the delete button while it has the "file error" on the screen, it will delete the file and then you can continue use with your camera. Sometimes when this happens it freezes the camera so you have to turn it off and back on, then try deleting it. I hope this helps you!!
