  • i have a hitachi hdc-1409ep camera and i am from the UK i dropped the camera and the lens has jammed in so it is wonky at the side and when i turn it on the lens doesnt move or make a noise but the camera turns on makes the 'on' noise and the mode button flashes then it turns back off :( please tell me what i can do. p.s the camera is insured

  • i dropped my a520 and lens is not coming out plz heelp youll save my 400$ plzzz

  • Followed this video, and I was able to fix my Kodak mx1063. Thanks!

  • Dropped my Pana DMC-LX5 and broke the LCD. Camera still took pictures, as I could view them on my PC's cardreader. I purchased a new LCD from Panasonic Parts and it was simple to install using downloaded service manual. PROBLEM: When I turn camera on the LCD works fine and previews the last picture taken, then within seconds it goes dark and says: "This Battery Cannot Be Used" and shuts off. Got another OEM battery, same problem. If I'm fast, 3 sec, I can get 1 pic. Your expert Advice!?

  • @Tu2woley2k You must get the original Panasonic batteries. My Lumix GF2 does the same time to time, just turn it on and off and it starts working.

  • i use my aunt one,the lens jammed

  • @devil0710ful brand is nikon

  • Um I bet you are soo sick of people asking you how to repair their cameras but I need some advice too please! I have a sony camera and it stopped working because the screws got loose and fell out, opening the cameras inside a bit. Well I took it apart and saw that the ribbons you were talking about looked burnt.. is it repairable?

  • i have codak Zi8 but i have one everything is all most perfect pic and video awesome but i have a issue was power charged it and the turn on fine but still freezing mean it do nothing just freezing i want " reset " but i dont know how can u help me plz???? (i may be too much time charged it ) thanks

  • i cant take it apart because i dont have that small screwdriver .

  • i dropped my camera in the water,,,

    how can i repair it?

  • I have a casio exilim, and while videoing my dog, it fell off the stand, and fell on the back, flat on the screen. Now, nothings wrong with the screen, but the lens got jammed. I made a stupid choice of shoving them back in, and now it'll come on, an let me view my pictures, but the lens will not come out, and I cannot take pictures. I even have the video of when it fell LOL. Anyways. Is there any way you think I can fix this?

    thanks ^.^

  • @BridgitBorderCollie Yikes. The mechanical elements of the lens assembly -- the part that makes the lens go in and out -- are very precision made and extremely delicate. Trying to force these mechanisms is a really bad idea, it's almost guaranteed to ruin them.

    I have run into a comparable problem with my Canon ZR-80 mini-DV camcorder. I foolishly tried to speed up the loading of the tape with a little pressure, and it's busted for real, about $200 will get it repaired. New camera time. ;)

  • @BridgitBorderCollie smack it on your palm a few times but make sure the "dock hole" is the spot hitting your palm.

  • Thanks for the advice... I will have to check into that. We also found a part on the PCB board that looks burnt so we are looking into desoldering and replacing it.

  • So you probably get a lot of these camera questions, and I completely understand if you don't reply tot hem, but I figured I would try my luck asking you a question anyway. My Kodak Easyshare camera will not turn on. After attempting (with no luck) to charge it, I tested the battery and the continuity for the charger, and my next step is to start taking the camera apart. Do you have any advice for what I should look for?

  • @kae258 If you take it apart, start looking for tiny ribbon cables that have their connectors popped loose from sockets. I've had two different cameras, one a camcorder and one a digi-cam, and both got dropped and both were fixed by pressing a cable terminator back into the socket. It sounds to me as if perhaps the connector to the charging plug might be loose. Also, rechargable batteries do have limited lifespans, it's possible that the internal battery has reached the end of lifetime. Replace.

  • dude my lens is out of focus sometimes on my camera/camcorder. its all blurry and there a weird noise, any ideas?

  • ok so i dropped my camera and it wont come back on what do i need to do??

  • umm i put the wrong charger in my camera and now it wont turn on can i fix it?

  • @GomezVendable Probably you can't fix this. Usually there's a charging circuit on a chip, you would have to find out which chip and then replace that. When you use the wrong charger, especially if it reverses polarity and applies excess voltage, a tiny diode on the chip goes *pop* and that means the chip is dead.

  • @ThomasHardmanJr dude i dropped my camera and it turns on and everything but when i press the pic or record button it does nothin helppppp please

  • @ThomasHardmanJr sometimes it's a diode that blows, easy fix if that's the case. Sometimes the components hold up, but the chip gets blown, then that's a very hard repair

  • hey when i try to start a video on my camera the whole screen is black same for when i wanna take pictures but i only can reveiw things do u know what the problem is

  • hello, i bought a canon sd1300 digital camera a month ago, and while i was carrying it in my pocket, i fell in the water at a ravine. The camera seems to be working fine except screen display which is not clear. I was told water got into the screen so I should put my camera in a bowl of rice without battery or memory card and let it dry. I was wondering if this fails, is there a way for me to take apart the camera and fix it?

  • @TheKikoloco

    Not likely you can fix this. You probably bought junk for $5.00

    Sounds to me like the whole LCD display is shot. You could check on buying a replacement, but other parts might be broken as well.

    In any case, since you only spent five dollars, take it apart and try to put it back together, it's good practice even if it doesn't fix it. Plus, you might actually get it to work. ;)

  • @TheKikoloco Buy a new screen on ebay

  • @TheKikoloco replace the lcd

  • mine says error , restarts camera

  • hi my sony DSC-W80 camera lens stuck, plz someone help me out, or i rather get a new one??

  • @tomadil88

    My jvc camcorder had the zoom lens stuck and I just banged it in my hand hard a few times and it fixed the problem.

  • Just be careful guys n gals. If you do this, be aware of the capacitor for the electronic flash (top LH corner 2:50). It may be charged with a voltage in excess of 300 volts. Accidental touching (terminals and/or parts of the circuit board) may result in a loud yowl, accompanied by a reflex action causing the camera to fly across the room. In really extreme cases, it could kill you! The capacitor should be discharged with a resistor unless you like to live dangerously!

  • my camera when i make a video it lags and it skips part can u give me any endvice plz?

  • what happens if the camera lens are stuck?

  • I don't know. Good question!

    Maybe check connectors from motherboard to lens motors. That may repair it. I did not disassemble lens motor system to discover mechanism operating principles.

    If my camera breaks that part, maybe I will look! If you can fix yours, please make a video to explain it. Then maybe comment here about how you fix it!

  • thnx!

  • my camera lens are stuck!damn it!i can't start it!SOS

  • i have the same problem :/

  • i let my casio camera fall ! :-( does any one know any wher in dubli ireland to get it repaied ? plese reply

  • we broke the screen on our samsung. I'd like to repair myself but don't know where to buy a new screen. Any ideas?

  • I have no idea, other than to contact Samsung directly. I'm not sure they will even sell a screen by itself, they might require that you send it to them for repairs. Might as well ask them, though.

  • Thanks for taking the time! Happy holidays!

  • @debbyellen1 - Ebay is a good place to buy a screen. You can buy a broken one with good screen or the screen by itself. Broken cameras go for $ 14.99-$19.99 while screens go btw $19.99-$29.99

  • well i can take pics but its all black

  • Sounds like either the display connector came loose, or the imaging chip came loose or is cracked. If the camera is taking pictures (you can see new pictures on the storage chip if you copy them to computer) but you can't see it on the display, it's probably the display connector come loose. If it powers up and you can't store pictures off to the computer and see them, then it's likely the imaging chip or connector. Make sense?

  • hey i dropped my camera and its all black now and i cant take a picture how can i fix it

  • Watch these videos in this series, it _may_ work for you. If it's already broken, go ahead and try to fix it, unless you want to pay big money to have someone else do it. If you dropped it probably the internal connector came loose. If you actually broke a component this won't help.

  • what kind is your camera? my kind is sony. and really your video dont work for camera but it only work for your brand of camrea! nad stop talking to me plz

  • ok. you can shut the fuck up, and do you play counter strike 1.6?

  • Nope, not an Xbox/Playstation sort of person. I don't play video games, I play guitar instead. See the main page.

  • I tried it too and it stop for good too.:)

  • Well, you have to be very delicate, you know. You may have had some other problem, and if the camera was working, why try to fix it?

    This is a last resort, if you were going to throw it away, might as well try to fix it first.

  • it don't work. when my camera is still working i tired to see if i can do what you did and when i diid that my camere stop for good!!!!!! :(

  • We have a saying in the USA: "If it's not broke, don't fix it".

    By the way, this is specifically for that particular camera, not for any others which might be different.

  • i tried this and my camera stopped working for good :(

  • I hope it wasn't my bad advice! Because, frankly, this worked for me. You could have been experiencing problems other than a loosened connector. And if the camera worked before you took it apart, why take it apart?

  • your fucking camera gay thats why it works for you mother fucker. you broke my $890 dallors camera! btich.

  • Camera gay? ROFL. Nope, actually I mostly do my own repairs for anything I can. Mostly that is servers. I'm surprised that this camera repair worked, but it did, and it also worked for the video camera that took this series.

  • your momk made me. :) he he he
