Same problem, exact same camera... I had fixed it already with a guy who fixes all kinds of cameras and he had to change a piece that wasn´t working, but after a few months the problem started again...

The "solution" entered by andrew_c is no solution at all. The camera has never had to charge the flash before. There is a problem with this camera and HP needs to fix it.

HP not for me!, and my friends not for thee. HP knows this was junk and won't man up and take care of the saps that bought this junk. My camera was junk at 3 months. Nothing at HP of any problems with :"Flash Charging" Solution?, No more Hp!

NC10 battery not charging. The charging light flashes as normal but battery wont charge, tried another battery with same result.
Allow 1hour to charge it, if did not charge check the input & output of the charger if its properly insert, if not again off your notebook & charge it, always check if it is charging,
Note: Charging test try on, off, & unuse it allow to full charge the battery before using..avoid low bat your battery when using.

Any time I try to turn my camera on it always tells me to "change the batteries" even when the batteries are brand new.
Have you tried charging the brand new batteries? Often batteries are shipped with little or no charge in them, and need a full charge before use.

HP Camera won't flash
HP wont get your money for another camera period- the have dropped cameras from their line up- in the UK any way.
The precise reason for the non function of the flash is not immediately fathomable - but it is likely non use ,the capacitor that triggers the flash in a full state and not having been discharged could have 'killed' it.
As with pretty well all low end digital camera s'repair' is not an option, only replace.
So off you go and buy a new one- if it is flash you need- but perhaps you can live without it.
So often you see folk using their camera swith the flash popping off when in fact non was needed.

Camera Wont turn on and blue light flashes
The possible answer is that batteries are past thier best now and even a 'full' charge is not delivering enough power. treat your self to new batteries.

Battery won't charge Camera is approx. 2 yrs old & won't charge. Even when it showed that the battery was fully charged, the camera would die while trying to take pictures (especially if flash required). Bought a backup battery while on vacation (camera - 1 yr old) & switched out between the two throughout the trip. Then, backup battery will no longer charge. Bought a second backup battery ... worked for a short while & then ... same story. On vacation in January, orginal (HP) battery started having problems & now I can't even get IT to charge. Is this a problem w/the batteries or the camera itself? Was on a different trip (once in a lifetime for me - camera 1.5 yrs old) and the camera would not work except intermittently - had to keep opening the camera, removing battery & replacing it to get any sort of pictures. Missed a lot of great photo ops. :(
