Hope this helps (remember to rate this answer).

It is probably having trouble with the capacity of the memory card. Memory cards have grown enormously in capacity in the last couple of years, and even relatively new cameras may not be able to cope with the memory size of the newest cards.

You don't say what type of memory card you have. "SD" cards larger than about 1GB are actually SDHC cards. SD and SDHC cards fit the same slots, but they are slightly different electrically. Many cameras won't work with SDHC (high capacity) cards. SDHC is not backwards compatible.

This something you will have to contact a local camera shop for repair.They normally do not carry your exact part always due to the low % they may see but may order one for you.I would almost bet they will want at least $50(+or- $10) for repair.If they will not order the part for you,you will need to contact Epson at the link below.If it does require a screwdriver,normally the cameras have small screws and you need what is called a jeweler's set of screwdrivers.Not to worry though.They are very common,you may have seen them but not know it.They are the tiny screwdrivers,usually a set of 4 or 5 of them with a clear plastic top part to see them,usually at many major stores like K-Mart,Walmart,etc. although most of the employees do not seem to know their real name.Just go to the tools section and look.The person there,and maybe a few English speaking stock people may know the real name.Or I guess the old where are the teeny tiny screwdrivers at could work too I guess.They usually are there.If they are not there then they likely do not have them because they are not likely in the camera deparment even though that is the most common use other than jewelry.I have never seen them there and ocassionally ask just to see if they know when I see a different employee not asked yet or at a new store and when I ask for jeweler's screwdrivers where do they send me?Please do not buy the set where there is one screwdriver with changeable tips.Those are normally dollar store types.The 4 separate packaged ones should only be $3-$4,depends where you live,and are much better built.A friend bought the changeable tip one,ruined the main screwdriver part,which made all the tips useless anyway.I bought the multi-set years ago because i mess around with alot of my own electronics and even if you may not,they are very hady in the strangest situations.One example is I had to pry something open but it was so tight/narrow,what ended up working after about 20 mins. of everything else?Good luck!

I tried to set "boarderless" on paper size 8.5x14in photo paper but it seems that this settings is disabled in that paper size. The tick button for "borderless" is active only on certain paper sizes like A4.

EPSON PHOTOPC SERIAL CABLE 8 PIN

Epson will not supply parts to anyone but recognized repairers. The reason is obvious, they guarantee the work by their licenced techs and do not support DIY for fear of ending up in courts if someone sues for additional damage caused by the DIY the repair. or has some accident as a result of attempting a fix on their product, be it a camera , printer or other product.
.

There may be many possibilities that can cause this.Here is what you can check: Initially remove the battery and reinsert it again and check if it works.also try using other battery if you feel battery might have gone faulty. Also possible that the switch may hve gone faulty or the internal connection to switch is loosened up.
Open the device and check if the switch is internally stuck.if the connections are faulty,Just resolder the connections properly and try again.if the switch looks damaged or faulty internally.Replace the switch.
thanks and please do not forget to accept the solution

I phoned the Olympus people for replacement parts 800-622-6372 and they shipped me a replacement battery door assembly for my Stylus 1010 camera. I only paid shipping.

hi gbolshoy,

why do you need the drivers for by the way? is it for transferring picture / videos from the camera to your computer?

olympus did not create drivers for the device but only the application to manage the media. looking forward to your reply.

regards,

voodoo

you can try here. you have to choose photo viewers and cameras and then in the next one choose your camera and the last you put your operating system. hope it works

I had one of these cameras, and all I can say isd that it was a joy in every respect. Fast accurate focus, feature normally seen on much more expensive cameras, build quality etc. The 3.1mp sensor gives photo's of high quality up to A4 site. I have an a3 phto taken by mine on our lounge wall!n Value? well, I'd pay up to £80 depending on its condition. If you do decide to buy it, make sure you see a photo produced by it in your presance if possible. Good luck with it!

I would use hi capacity rechargable batteries, perhaps 2700maH batteries, and also check that the battery contacts are clean and grease free
