I just restarted it by inserting an earring in the hole in the bottom

Don’t do this. The hole in the bottom is the speaker and you’ll puncture the speaker.
The hole just at the side of the micro USB port is a restart button indeed, no problem in pressing it. Just be careful not to press the wider hole at the side of the SD card which is the speaker and can be punctured as Alex said.

If you did left it out without using it, It is probably just on sleep mode. Try turning it on and back off for it to work. It that does not work maybe it just died and you will need to charge the battery.

Also, please refer to the "Camera Will Not Turn On" section of the Polaroid SNAP Troubleshooting page if you are having any more difficulty.
Thanks, this helped a ton! I was so scared cause the reset button wasn’t working.. then I had some thoughts to try to fix it myself... but no! I listened, and it worked!! Thanks a lot!

My polaroid snap was not turning on either. I figured out that the problem was that a little plastic piece under the pop up visor was stuck. Touch it with your finger, try to release it and the camera will turn on.
Good luck!

i found out why mine didn’t work. it would be duly charged and then the battery would just drop to nothing in literally 2 seconds it’s because my polaroid was from costco. and in costco they have their electronics out on display and constantly plugged in 24/7 so when i bought it they ran out of polaroid’s so gave me the display stand polaroid. so because it was plugged in all the time, the battery’s had been fried from being plugged in for so long

1) Flip the view finder open like normal
2) Inside the view finder cut out, look for the micro switch on the right side. The side toward the timer and shutter button.
3) It’s probably stuck. Use a pen or other small object to flick the power switch on.

Hi everyone I havnt used my Polaroid snap touch for a long time but tried using it today after a long time of not being use and it wasn’t turning on. So I started to take it apart and check that it’s reading the right voltage etc as I assumed the battery was dead but the issue turned out to be the ribbon cable coming from the switch where the shutter button is. After removing and reinserting the cable it turned on instantly I hope this helps some ppl.

I have a Polaroid snap touch. On top it has the pop up flash, a power button and the red picture button. When I press the power button the flash pops up but the welcome sound does not turn on and the screen does not turn on sound is not on. I've charged it all night too. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Did you manage to fix this as am having the same problem
I have the same issue, I just press the power button and when it doesn’t turn on leave the pop up flash up, and find a needle or thin pen or sharp pencil and press the reset button. But I’m yet to find out if doing this removes your pictures
where is the reset button
just hammer it down….. it always works for me!!!!!

I took mine back as it was faulty and got a new one and not had a single problem with this one
I'm having the same issue. I just received this today from my daughter as a mother day gift and it won't come on. When it's charging its making some noise. There is no indication that it's charging what so ever.
@Michelle Kimble U found how to solve it?
I haven’t used my Polaroid in, what? A year? I got it for Christmas and used it nonstop. Then it died. So I left it forever. Today, I turned it on, took a few pictures, then put it to charge. Now at Eight, it won’t turn on, but makes sound when I try to turn it on. The sound is the sound that it makes when it turns off, and it was really weird… any answers?

My sons is doing the same thing. I cant get it to turn on whatsoever!
Try pushing the viewfinder to the left when it pops up.
There is a power on button that ‘should’ be activated when the viewfinder pops up, but sometimes there is an issue and so you need to manually push it to the left, and it ‘should’ turn on.

Happened to me! I thought my Polaroid Snapshot was broken.
Then with a toothpick I did this: there is a small hole next to the charger input to the left. I inserted the toothpick there and it turned on instantly!

The same thing happened to me. It would not turn on at all. My Viewfinder would not pop up and when I charged it a red light would turn on and then it would turn white but still nothing. I tried to reset it to with a pin. Nothing worked. I even connected it to my computer and it would not read it to download the new firmware. FINALLY I tried to push onto the viewfinder again and tried to see if anything was stuck in there all around the edges. I pushed on the edges trying to get it to pop up manually and it worked. The viewfinder popped up and the whole thing lit up. Now it is charging and the 3 red flashing lights are on. My computer also detected it. So you may need to manually get the viewfinder to pop up since that is what turns it on.

I had this problem, too. What worked for me was:
- I reset the camera by pushing the reset button at the bottom
- I plugged it to the computer while still turned off
- I turned it on while plugged and the MSDC screen appeared.
My computer was able to read it as an USB external device, so
- I deleted all of the photos to free-up its memory
Once unplugged from the computer it turned on finally.
REMEMBER to ALWAYS remove the device safely from the computer, or turn it off before unplugging it.

Not really answer but did you end up fixing this issue? I am having the same problem and can’t find answers anywhere :(

did you check on the question that you started? this is a 2 year old question, they are unlikely to return to answer it as they have all been inactive members for some time.
