AA Battery powered digital Camera not turning on? Don't throw it in the trash! Watch this video to learn how to fix a point and shoot digicam powered by AA batteries! Prickly Pear Camera goes through how to troubleshoot, clean, fix, and repair three AA battery cameras; a Nikon Coolpix, a Canon Powershot, and a Samsung, but the principles will apply to many more brands of compact point and shoot cameras including Sony Cybershot, Fujifilm, Panasonic, Olympus, Pentax, Kodak, Polaroid, Sanyo, and more. Battery leak? Acid in the battery compartment that lead to corrosion? Don't worry, this video covers repairing the issue and hopefully getting it to work. We've fixed hundreds of cameras using these methods and hopefully they will work for you too!

NC Picker directed me to your channel, I’m in the process of selling a Canon 40D with several lens & accessories and a Coolpix & a couple other point & shoots all in excellent condition so thought I might learn something about their value here. Either way happy to support!

Hi! I need help fixing an old finepix a345. it doesn't have corrosion in the battery compartment, but I do notice that one of the batteries (with positive terminal that goes inside) sits lower than the other battery. I looked inside the battery compartment and notices that one of them has the spring, but on the other side, I don't notice a spring, so what do I nudge? I'm pretty sure because of poor connection, it's not working (when i close the battery door and shake it, there is sound! so I'm guessing there is indeed a gap between the terminals).
also does it matter what voltage the batteries are? I noticed on the attery door it says 3V, but my batteries are 1.5V. Would that be an issue?

My canon powershot sx260 hs lcd screen goes random dark red so I can’t see much on the screen. The “power saving” is off and it still irregularly goes dark red after using it for more than a minute. What does that mean?

Hi I have an old samsung s760 and I wanted to see if it still worked and when I switched it on it said 'slelet usb printer or computer' but it wasn't plugged in to either so I figured something was in the usb port and when I looked in to it it looked corroded so cleaned it up and then when I tried to restart it's just a grey/black screen. There's no noise but the little green light flashes on and leaves me with an empty screen. No noise from the lens. Any advise?

Hello there! I have a Canon PowerShot A460 with some green rust and corrosion on the external part of the camera, can i use vinegar or other stuff to take it off? What do you recommend? Also, the vinegar can be alcohol vinegar? Thank you so much

My Olympus stylus epic zoom 115 turns on when i open the lens and then immediately turns off and flashes green and orange. I’ve put in new batteries. I’m not sure what’s going on…might you have an idea?😢
