okay, mmy camera is stuck in usb mode (the screen is black and i cant take any pics), does any one kno if there is a way to reset a kodak digital camera

I have a kodak and mine does that when the batteries are dieing. Try changing them. I Noticed that when I use cheep batteries, my camera is really only good for maybe 25 shots! so if thats your problem try some better batteries. good luck.

 

[chamillionair]

they are brand new energizer batteries, and i cant think of a way to get it out of the usb mode, you see i need some kind of a way to reset the camera of some thing

 

[brandy101010]

Hmmm....so you can't get to the menu or anythin right? Have you tried taking out the batteries and putting them back in?

 

[chamillionair]

Well I'd like to try but unfortunately I have no idea what model the camera is, what it's saying, how you know it's in USB mode if the screen is completely black, what other lights/indicators are on, what you were doing when it happened, etc. Just not enough info for me to provide a reasonable guess.

 

[chamillionair]

it is a brand kodak camera, 4.00 mega pixel, it is not saying anything, but when you plug in a usb camle to the computer to the camer a red light flashes letting you kno its in usb mode, and every time i turn it on the screen stays black and the red light flashes, this is what iy does in tusb mode, also the only way i can turn it off is by taking out the batteries

According to the manual the red flashing indicates low batteries, which would explain the blank LCD. In addition, USB transmits small amounts of power (usually <500mA), which the camera may have been using when it was plugged in.

so if i put in new batteries it will work??, but i put in new energizer batteries

 

[Milwaukee Reptiles]

Should. What kind of batteries (Rechargable: Lithium-ion or NiMH, or regular alkaline) and how new were they?

 

[chamillionair]

they were sopposed to be brand new energizer batteries, the one with the bunny, but my dumb sister might have put old batteries in the pask, for reasons beyond my belief

 

[Milwaukee Reptiles]

Yeah pick up some new ones and see if it helps. If not you can try reflashing the firmware, but I'd start with batteries you know are new:
Here's the diagram of battery types it takes (remember to charg any rechargable if you need to buy them):

 

[chamillionair]

thank you very much, i hope this works

 

[chamillionair]
