printer had an error that couldnt be fixed so had to replace it.

alkaline batteries?
please try lithium crv3 or lithium aa's, it may really do that even with a new set of alkaline aa's
if you're using ni-mh, make sure it's recharged and if it is, and it's still doing the same thing.. note that most ni-mh's life span is 300 charging cycles. if you barely use the rechargeable batteries, they can still deteriorate through time. if the rechargeable batteries are new, or say 6 month's old - that means the cam actually needs a repair

I had a similar situation with two of my C530's, one would only come on with the front red light (above the lens) flashing twice and then staying on solid red (regardless of the dial position). The other would turn on, but the LCD display would turn almost white and all pictures would be white.

Make sure you have good batteries, remove them from the camera, put them back in (make sure the dial is in OFF position before you insert the batteries) and with one finger put pressure on the top of the camera between the dial and viewfinder. Don't use excessive force, as not to crack the case, but put some pressure on it and as your squeezing it, turn the camera ON (Auto, Movie or View). This worked for both of my cameras, on one I have to do this one once in a while, the other I'll be taking apart to find out what's going on under the case.

What type of new batteries did u put, same as original ?

If the lightning bolt continues flashing and never stops there is a failure in the flash sub-system. Try selecting the no-flash setting, if the camera fires normally at this point then your problem is definitely in the flash system. It is hard to say what the failure is beyond that. The problem is the camera will not take the picture until the flash is charged and ready to fire - the flashing lightning bolt indicates that it is charging the flash. The fact that it just keeps flashing indicates that the flash is never becoming ready. This repair could cost $68 to $125 plus parts to fix, although an evaluation would be necessary to identify the problem.
