Got my camera back in 2015/2016. Just got it out again after so many years and I ordered some film on Amazon today to change it and start using it. When I changed the film I also changed the batteries and when I took the old batteries out, they were inflamed and mouldy because I hadn’t used the camera or taken out the batteries in years. changed the batteries 3 times and it still doesn’t work. There is some rust at the bottom of the battery holder and within the compartment and I tried cleaning it with a dry tissue and managed to wipe some away but it still won’t budge. Do you know what I can do to resolve this issue or what might be wrong with the camera? The lens are working fine. The only issue is that the red light isn’t coming on and none of the lights on the function buttons are turning on either.

[@colscopters]

Hello yes its a common problem with theses cameras you can clean off the rust with a nail file but be gentle and dip the file in vinger to help remove the rust just take your time and eventually it should be removed and dry it off hopefully it should work.

[@mayalise3271]

@@colscopters great, thank you so much! do I have to use to nail file and scrape the mouldy parts off or would that be too harsh and damage the camera?

[@colscopters]

Or use a ladies nail file that they use to do hand nails be gentle sorry I don't know what they are called

Yours must be fried I will see if I can find out anymore information for you

[@Lily-uv9uu]

I have the same issue. I pulled out my camera and there was battery acid all over so I wiped the connections down with a damp cloth but the wire is probably too corroded

[@Lily-uv9uu]

Okay I just realized a really stupid mistake when rewatching to see the exact brand he used. I put both plus sides facing the same direction because it didn’t look like they were supposed to be alternated like most battery holders. The piece of metal is the same on both sides. I just thought it was fried because it was full of battery acid 😂

[@asdfghjkl.196]

@@colscopters they are brand new alkaline batteries, LR6 1.5V, as it says on the inside of the intsax. The thing is I put in new film, correctly aligned with the yellow line, and the instax starts, but the red light next to the viewfinder doesn’t turn off at all. Also the S on the background did not switch to a 10 after putting in the film. I need to also add that even tho I’ve had the camera for 3 years, I’ve never tried to used it until now. This is the first time i put film in it. So what I’m trying to say is: it starts normally but won’t take pics because the red light does not turn off. In another video i saw, it says if it’s still on it means it’s charging the flashlight and not ready to shoot. I’ll try to find that brand of batteries but I’m not sure if i will because I’m in Europe…..

Oh dear that's not right I will see if I can find some information for you .

[@pluvsboy5544]

@@colscopters the red light on the back keep on shining and the indicator light in the lense isn't shining, I'm affraid there's something wrong with the camera because It has not been used for a few years, thanks for your concern but I think it's about time for the camera to be broken 😭

[@colscopters]

This is what I've found on the Internet the red light by the viewfinder won't stop blinking (or won't turn off), then the problem is most likely related to the batteries. Check that the batteries are oriented correctly or replace dead batteries.

I used alkaline batteries but it doesn’t work😢

[@colscopters]

Oh eck you need to use the same ones as in the video for best results.

[@thimmegowdathimmegowda8743]

Mine camera photos are coming white no picture is coming. Only white sheet..😭😭

[@colscopters]

Has the door been opened when the film has been inside this can damage the film and it goes white due to light exposure. I recommend getting a fresh film that will sort it out hopefully 👍

[@thimmegowdathimmegowda8743]

@@colscopters how?

[@colscopters]

You need to replace the film its probably been in to long or it's been exposed to light .

[@thimmegowdathimmegowda8743]

@@colscopters Thank you for your guidance 😊 if any problem occurs in this camera rarther than changing film?

[@colscopters]

Just keep the batteries fresh if not using the camera for a while take them out I hope I was of use to you thank you 😊

[@urmom-dt4ix]

ok, but i changed my batteries for like 3 times and it still not working, what do i doooooo?

[@colscopters]

Oh so sorry have you used the alkaline batteries as the camera can only work on that type .

[@urmom-dt4ix]

@@colscopters yea i only use alkaline batteries, but it just won't work.

[@colscopters]

Oh no have you tried the duracell batteries any lights come on at all on the camera or is it completely dead .

[@urmom-dt4ix]

@@colscopters yea i only use duracell batteries and still lights won't turn on and im telling u im going crazy 😂

[@colscopters]

I see you definitely have a faulty camera as you would at least get the lights on if nothing else. Have you had the camera less than 12 months as it will still be covered under a guarantee. Sounds crazy I don't mean to be disrespectful at all have you got the batteries the right way up as someone on my channel had the batteries upside down. I truly hope it works soon iam in the northwest of the uk are you close I could take a look at it for you thanks.

[@w_itachi_w]

Why do my photos come out all white?

[@colscopters]

Thanks because the film has been exposed to the light you need a fresh film or the film is old and the chemical has broken down over time

[@afshavishalbakshi5133]

Camera isn't clicking

[@jennyparedes9348]

Anyone else tried this and put new batteries and it still didn’t work?? I need help

[@colscopters]

@@jennyparedes9348 have you used the alkaline batteries not the normal ones as they will not work it sounds nuts I know but the camera will only work on alkaline.

[@mohammedsharfalmothana]

I have a problem, which is that the front flasher is not working What is the solution

[@colscopters]

Oh dear has it been dropped at all or anything loose when you tilt the camera as sometimes the flasher unit can come loose but if all seems well it could be the batteries are they new or old ones they could need replacing .

[@orlandofloridasenpai]

I did all of this and the camera still doesn't take the pics, what can I do?

[@colscopters]

How are the battery connections give them a rub with a nail file and make sure it's the same type batteries that are in the video these cameras are funny on batteries. I hope this is helpful

[@orlandofloridasenpai]

thanks, i'll try the nail file thing@@colscopters

You are welcome anytime 😊

[@ciao_felice8642]

It still doesn’t work.It is just flashing . The photo is not printing out . Please help

[@colscopters]

Hello it means that your batteries are running low and need to be changed.

[@ciao_felice8642]

I just changed out the batteries 🔋

[@ciao_felice8642]

It still doesn’t work

[@colscopters]

Ok have you changed the film and fresh batteries and cleaned the battery connection's do all three and I hope it works then fingers crossed 🤞

[@miknes12345]

I am normally not like this, but I found this was not useful. I am sitting here with this camera and it doesn't turn on. Of course the batteries is the first thing I checked. Fyi, they are brand news. The troubleshooting here is so banal I am wondering why even go to these great lenghts to make a video about it. I was expecting various troubleshooting steps and all you say is just replace the batteries. That's a bit like a lamp not turning on and suggesting to change the light bulb...

[@colscopters]

@@miknes12345 so sorry for your frustration trust me it's the batteries they camera is a bad design and only takes high powered alkaline unfortunately I do hope that you have managed to get some . On a positive note I wish you all the best for Christmas if you have found this video useless in this occasion I apologise.

[@miknes12345]

@@colscopters Sorry for my tone. I was frustrated with a brand new camera gifted for Christmas not working. The video is well made and not useless. Merry Christmas.

I installed a battery and it didn't work😞😥💔

[@colscopters]

Oh dear have you the camera can be funny they only work on certain types of battery how are your connections give them a rub with a bit of sandpaper or a nail file as sometimes that helps.

[@user-gs1uh3rv7n]

I tried another battery, but it does not work / where can I get a special battery for the camera??

[@colscopters]

Yes you need the right batteries for it to work ive got duracell plus AA they work the best for the camera I hope that helps I got mine from a supermarket

[@ramzbizkit186]

Mine is red light and not blinking

[@colscopters]

It's the film it needs changing also try some fresh batteries they same type that you have got in the camera and it will work thanks 😊
