Hi.

When this happens it is either because of lens problems or because there is an internal fault.

Try removing the batteries and holding down the on button while inserting batteries back. If that doesn't work you will need to contact HP at the number listed in the owners manual, so to arrange the repair.
Alternatively you can get a quote using this third party repair service:Repair.

Regards.

Ginko.

    I Karrie.

    I forgot to mention that in some rather uncommon case, a shorted memory card may prevent the camera from starting. Ensure you have tested the camera with no memory card.

    Try also connecting the camera to computer via USB and start camera with USB cable connected to PC.

    If lens are trying to extend or if they are stuck open, then you have a lens problem. In that case you can follow the troubleshooting available here (even if model in example is different and no error is returned): Lens error - FixYa.

    If nothing else works, then the camera will need to be repaired.

    Regards.

    Ginko.

Lens won't close and On/Off button doesn't work

Even though the battery appears to be charging it may be shot. Some batteries if they run down too far can not be recharged. You need to try a new battery in the camera.

Even when I change the batteries, when i tried to put on the camera by sliding the front lens cover, the usual display comes in the screen, stay for one or two secs. then went off. I can not take a...

I have the exact same problem. If you hold down your flash button as it powers on, you can run some diagnostics although with mine, it showed the CCD is not functioning. Pretty much that means you now own a paperweight.

Does anyone know how to use an hp photosmart m547 as a web cam?

It doesn't work as a webcam. The m547 is designed primarily as a still camera, storing images to memory. While it can take videos, it also stores those to memory. It is not designed to stream live video to another device.

Removable memory chip ?

If you own the camera, just open the battery door and you'll find the battery and the memory card. If you're considering buying this camera and want to know if it uses a memory card, the answer is yes.

Even with new batteries and they go dead before I take 3 pictures

Yes, there is definitely a fault with your camera.  You should be able to return it for a replacement.  I wouldn't experiment too much with batteries in this camera. batteries discharging this quickly are likely to overheat, causing unmentionable catastrophe.

HP photosmart M547

SD cards have a slide switch along one edge. The position farthest from the metal contacts locks the card, protecting it from writes. The position nearest the contacts unlocks the card.
