My camera is stuck in review mode. It turns on fine, reviews pictures fine, but won't switch modes to take pictures. The power stays on fine too. I don't hear or see the shutter open or the lens move about when you turn it on, but I can't remember if it used to when you turn it on. Plus, being stuck in review mode, not sure if it would make noise when you turned it on anyway. Any ideas? Wondered if lens was stuck and wouldn't allow it to? Any other ideas?
I just fixed my daughters camera with this problem. First go to the capture mode and see if the reason you are in review mode is because the camera thinks it is docked. If so, look at the dock port on the bottom of the camera. ( May need to magnify it to see in there ) Look for any green corrosion between the contacts. Her's has this corossion between two pairs of the contacts. I took a jewelers screw driver and scraped out the corrosion and then blew canned air in there to remove it. Turned it on and now it works fine. I have a feeling that the battery compartment is venting through this port and the small amount of acid vapor produced as the batteries discharge is causing the contacts to get this corrosion.
I don't know the solution but if you want to look inside and clean the switches, sometimes food or candy from your (kids) hands work in to the switch and get stuck. first try a rubbing alcohol on a cotton swab around the switch with batteries out.
If not working still You may have disassemble the camera.
I would think first before tring this.
Remove 3 screws on bottom, 1 in battery compartment, and 1 at very top of usb flap (look good).
Now slide the side piece starting at the usb flap then apply pressure to top and away from unit.
now look for 1 silver and three black screws (facing back and front, look good).
Remember to replace battery door first if it fell off during process.
*TEST NOTE: You can place batteries in and place a penny across the bottom to test before you put it back together.
