15 Nov 08 When to Send Your Camera In For Repair

Today’s digital cameras are a marvel of tiny electronics combined to work in synchronicity to capture those moments that matter most. Unfortunately, technology doesn’t always work as expected, and when your digital camera starts behaving badly, it’s time to determine if it’s a minor issue or something that requires professional intervention. Here are a few tips to try before taking it in for repair:

Check Your Batteries: A fresh set of batteries can fix everything! Insert a fully charged battery or replace the AA set and see if the camera responds. Sometimes it is the most common but overlooked issue that keeps your camera from turning on, so start with the batteries.

Check Your Memory Card: Did you know that your camera may not turn on if the memory card is full? This happens sometimes, so try offloading all the images from your camera card to your computer and then reformat the card. Once that’s complete, try turning on your camera and see if it responds.

Give Your Camera a Break: Like other electronics, sometimes your camera needs a reset, so consider taking out the batteries out for a day or so to let the camera reset. Make sure the battery is charged and then re-insert it after 24 hours. If your camera continues to malfunction, it’s time to consider sending it in for repair:

Next month we’ll provide tips on how to decide if it’s better to repair an existing camera or replace it with a new one. The answers may surprise you!
