I have an easyshare 6000 printer dock I charge my DX6340 on. The charge light on the printer dock no longer comes on and the battery won't charge. It used to show one bar on the charge indicator for a low-charge battery and would charge till it showed 3 bars. It's not the battery or the printer dock - I also have a CX 7300 camera that I can put the battery in and place it on the printer dock and the battery will charge as normal. That's how I've been charging my batteries lately. Any idea what's wrong with my beloved DX6340 and can I fix it? Otherwise the camera operates normaly.
I have a similar model Kodak camera. The paper trick did not work but the problem was the same.
I put a piece of tape over the plastic bump on one side of the battery. That pushed the switch in and the battery charges now.

I had a similar problem. If you look in the battery compatment you will see a small switch in the keyway that gets pressed down by the key (the plastic rectagualr bump out) on the side of the battery, if the battery is loose the switch does not get pushed down and the dock does not recognize the battery as a Kodak Batery that it should charge. I solved the prblem by taping a singe piece of paper on the opposite side of the battery so that when it slides into the slot it pushes the switch down, I've nver had a problem since.
