Polaroid SNAP: Why won't my Polaroid SNAP print the pictures I am taking?

I have taken a few pictures and all of them printed out without a problem, however none of the photos I have taken recently have printed. I'm pretty sure my camera doesn't have any damage or problems!

Fujifilm Instax Mini Eight: Why are my photos coming out black?

Wed, 29 Oct 2025 07:35:20 -0700

I just recently got the camera as a gift, and I read all the instructions. Got the camera all set up and film loaded. First picture came out great! The rest however kept coming out black. In any lighting with different settings, didn't matter. Changed the batteries just in case and thought maybe it was a bad pack of film. Loaded up a new pack of film and once again, first picture came out great, then the rest black. I never opened the back. I store the camera in a safe place. Never dropped it. So I'm kind of stumped on what's going on. I'm about to give up and have it get returned so the person who bought it for me can have their money back. Anything helps thank you!

Nikon D3200: The auto focus doesn't work

Wed, 06 Aug 2025 12:27:25 -0700

The auto focus on the camera is broken. When the lens is switched onto Auto, the camera doesn't take pictures at all, and on manual it needs to be focused manually (obviously). I'm not sure if it's a setting that I can fix or if there is something wrong with the camera itself.

Fujifilm Instax Mini Eight: My camera won't turn on

Fri, 16 May 2025 08:54:40 -0700

I got my Instax mini 8 camera last year, I wanted to use it now but it would not turn on. I used new Energizer batteries and would not work. I tested the battery by using it on a mouse and it was fine. And also last time I put my old battery in the camera too long and it kinda 'melted'. But I cleaned out the battery slot and replace it with the new battery. How do I get the camera to turn on? Please help, thanks.

Nest Cam: Cut and repair the power cable to the outside nest cam?

Wed, 13 Dec 2023 06:06:02 -0700

I bought the outside nest cam but the connector is like 3/4 around. Trying to fish that through the soffit is quite hard. I'm pretty technical but cutting the power supply and repairing on a $250 camera seems somewhat risky if I mess it up. My question is on the line that is connected to the camera if I cut it is it easy to repair?

Nikon Coolpix P530: What is this flashing red square with possibly a clock symbol?

Wed, 26 Mar 2025 03:01:43 -0700

A red flashing symbol is flashing (it's right over the battery symbol). I do not know what it is so I do not know how to fix it to stop it from flashing. Can you please help me in fixing this problem? It's a red square with what looks like a white circle resembling a clock with a 9:00 read out and has another dot where the 3 would be.

I'm expected to take a trip in the next week and really need my camera. Thank you for any help.

On the LCD "Err" is flashing.

THe Flash doesn't pop up

The DoF preview doesn't work.

But the shutter works, but no images are stored.

Sometimes the Mirror stays up, until I take the next picture.

I Have a Service manual, but this error isn't discribed.

I somehow managed to work for 10 Pictures but then the same happened again.

Any Idears, what could be the Problem.

I Hope you can help me.

Camera: What's the Pinout to go from the camera's 6 wires to the POE Cat RJ45

Wed, 06 May 2026 10:55:14 -0700

MY Lorex LNB4321 camera stopped working, it had gotten water in the cable connection and the female RJ45 molded end had corroded away. I called Lorex but they wouldn't tell me the pin out to replace the end. I know the red and black go to the power plug but I need to know the which cat5 wire corresponds with the wires from the camera.

(gray, brown, purple, blue, orange, yellow)

I took a picture with my camera - not realizing that I didn't have my SD card in. I do not have the cord to transfer photos onto the computer.

Camera: How can I remove a totally stripped small camera screw?

Mon, 20 Jan 2025 23:35:08 -0700

Short, and to the point: One of the screws is extremely stripped and I want to remove it. Is there a kit for smaller screws like this, or some way to slot it?

Long: My wife dropped her camera in a pitcher of beer. The camera itself actually still functions, but has problems with the lens cover opening and some gumminess on the controls that in general make it not usable. I already went ahead and bought her a new camera, so now this puppy is mine for the messing with. I thought I'd try to pop it open and give it a good cleaning, but I am stuck on this tiny screw that is totally stripped.
