The camera beeps when we put the card in. - Polaroid PhotoMax PDC 640 Digital Camera

Were the pictures put there by the camera, or by something else?

Also, see my response to your first post.

1. Power the camera off and remove and replace the card several times.
2. Recheck.
3. Put in another memory card and check.

If the recheck (2) does help, it may be dirty contacts.
If another memory card has the same issue, the camera needs repair.

First check the battery. Charge the battery to full condition or change with new battery and try to turn on your camera.
Or you can put off all batteries and memory card, wait for a moment, then put in again and turn on your camera.

Hope this help

hmmm... accesses the card ok? 3 beeps on a computer is a memory thing... might try a differnt SD card... Otherwise, probably is trash, cameras are so cheap that having a shop repair them is just not worth it.

Peace,

pull the card out

find the slide button on the side and slide it to the "unlock" position

put card back in

enjoi

Furrybutts (hehehe, like the name), This could be a lot of things and I'm sure there's a service guide out there that will tell us what 20 beeps and flashing lights mean, as I don't have one, let's figure it out.
Firstly, digi-cams and rechargables, eerrrrrgggg (Mr Burn's shudder) yeah they 'work', but for trouble shooting and iffy times, lets look at some half desent NEW alkaline batteries - for about $3-$4, it's worth it for this troubleshoot.
OK, did they work?, No?, lets look at the memory card. The cards are supporsed to be only put in one way, but ... lets take out the card, clean the contacts with a clean cloth/tissue, and put the card back in being sure it's in the right way. Still no go?
Take the card out again and try and turn the camera on without the card. Any changes?
This camera uses an XD memory card. I can't remember if it has an internal memory - what we're looking for is whether the memory is damaged and the camera is happy using it's internal memory or still erronous with no memory. Do you have access to another XD card to try it (this camera will take a MAXimum of 512mb, so don't try and card bigger).
Lets leave it at this for now and you let me know how things are going?

if pics are on memory card remove card and get a memory card reader to download pics-not sure why camera beeps but at least get pics off card if possible

The card may be faulty, check the card by inserting into a card reader then into a computer to see if the computer can read and copy files to the card. If you can read and copy files to the card the it is OK, delete these files, insert the card into your camera again and format the card before taking photos.

No, I didn't get any responses.

Make sure you have saved everything you want from the card on your PC, then format the card (FAT 32) with the card in the card-reader.

Then put the card back in the camera.

Can't guarantee this will work, but it's worth a try.
