Kodak Easyshare camera help?

[Soruc]

I searched google for solutions, but I couldn't find any.
I have a Kodak Easyshare camera, I was taking pictures with it, zoomed in a bit, and then the screen went blank. But it was still on. I tried turning it off, nothing happened. I tried going to the menu, nothing happened. I tried all the buttons, but it was still on, and it still had the blank screen. No matter what I did, nothing happened. It was basically frozen in place. I even tried replacing the batteries, but nothing worked.

Can I save my camera? Or should I buy another one? That thing costed $300 dollars, I don't want to blow another $300 or above. Or rather, I don't want my mom to waste another $300. It was a birthday present, I told my mom that I wanted Nikon, but she got me a Kodak anyways. She's obsessed with that brand, I don't know why.

Hopefully it isn't system failure.

When did you get it? if it's within the warranty time (normally for something like that it'd be around a year, i'm guessing) you can send it back to the shop your mum bought it from, and they have to either replace it or refund in full. (then maybe you can get a nikon!) I have a Canon, and never had a problem with it either! XD

good luck!

I got it from Giant Tiger (I live in Canada), and my mom bought it on December 1st, my birthday. I'm not sure if it has a warranty or not, I want to try and fix it before I return it.

that's fair enough, cos you'd have to pay postage (don't know what Giant tiger is, i'm UK)

[Soruc]

Giant Tiger is only in Canada, so it makes sense that you wouldn't know what it is. Basically, it's like your average Walmart/Target, except it has more food.

Anyways... I think the camera's dead. I'll try and see if my parents and friends can help me with it...

Walmart??? If it's dead, have you changed the battery for a new one?? make sure you put it in the right way!!
Also in some electrical applieances, there's a plastic tab somewhere near the battery to stop it from running down. that might still be in there

[Soruc]

Yes, i've changed the battery, and I double checked to see if it's in the correct way. And my camera doesn't have that plastic tab.

I have no idea, i think you should get that warranty soon, i don't think it's gonna fix itself! good luck
