Olympus Stylus 725 SW: Camera on, screen blank, lens cover stays open-What to do?

Sun, 19 Mar 2017 20:16:04 -0700

Used the camera at the beach yesterday, and initially worked fine. Lens cover quite retracting, and I can't find anything stuck in it. The camera will turn on with a blank screen for 2-3 seconds, then turn off. I can review the pictures on the card, but nothing else. This is messing with my vacation big time, and any suggestions will be welcomed. I replaced the battery with a newly charged one, but didn't make any difference. I don't have any tools with me, but if needed,there is a Lowe's not too far away & I'm sure I should be able to find what I need. THANKS!!

I keep trying to turn the camera on but it seems to be getting no power and I have not even gone underwater with it yet, so I know it is not due to water leakage. What do you recommend?

Olympus Camera: How to tear down the front cover of Olympus E-PL3?

Wed, 12 Feb 2025 13:55:01 -0700

Greetings.

I have a Olympus E-PL3 that was found recently with a serious swollen battery. It is so bad that even the SD card is jammed. I tried referring to E-PL1 and E-PL7 guides for disassembling, but the front and rear cover just can’t separate easily like what these online guides showed, even all visible screws were removed.

It feels like some where on the top panel is still connected. Or, are them bound together with strong adhesives? (Ever tried a heat blower but they were still inseparable.)

Any tips on tearing down E-PL3 are much appreciated.

Carl

Olympus Camera: Why cant I go into picture taking mode (stylus-7030)

Sun, 12 May 2024 20:28:51 -0700

ok so I gave my brother my newly gotten Olympus and when he got it, he dropped it. after that I didn't know if it had broken or not, so I just put it on my desk. after a month I started actually looking at it and the mettle on the lens was bent and it would not close. I tried turning it on when I was done charging it and it would only turn on when I plugged it in. After that it would only be on the library mode.

Olympus Camera: How to fix Olympus Tough TG620 will not take photographs

Mon, 04 Sep 2023 19:36:04 -0700

The power button causes the screen to flash but will not turn on the camera. The play button turns on the camera but will only allow viewing images from the memory card. I cannot take photographs. But I can see all the menu options, set the clock, zoom images from the card etc. The battery is OK. It charges via the Olympus power cable and from a PC so I do not think the battery is an issue. Everything seems to work except taking photographs. Pressing the photo button does nothing. Pressing the power button makes the screen flash. Pressing the ? button shows the current date and time. Re setting the camera to factory settings does not help. What is the problem and possible solutions?

Olympus Pen E-PL7: Where does the Olympus pen EPL7 grounding price go?

Sun, 23 Jul 2023 07:19:17 -0700

After following your directions for LCD replacement the LCD remains non-functional. There is a small grounding piece of metal which I cannot figure out where it came from. Your guide doesn’t mention this at all. I suspect it grounds motherboard somewhere.

Olympus Digital Camera TG-3: Why does my camera automatically power off after a few seconds?

Sun, 18 Jun 2023 08:15:26 -0700

Have a TG-5 (very similar to TG-3) that has worked fine, but now automatically powers off after a few seconds, with fully-charged battery or being plugged into adapter. BTW, it's never been submerged in water. Perplexing! Any suggestions (besides sending it to $$$ Olympus repair). FYI, I've disassembled it to check on ribbon cables - all attached.

Olympus Camera: Help! my camera just started bugging out

Sun, 30 Oct 2022 18:24:51 -0700

I own a Olympus E-620. Now I don't know A whole lot about cameras, past the small photography class from HI school , and I've had this one for a few years as a gift being my first camera and I've never had a problem with it for the 5+ year I've had it. Now the problem I'm having is when I turn it on and get ready to take a picture the camera won't do anything but auto focus. But the weirder thing is when I go in live view the screen is all green and fuzzy but the hud with all the settings is there. Than after a few seconds in live view the camera resets over and over and occasionally I'm able get into the menu. And when I do sometimes the screen is zoomed in where almost nothing fits in screen. It's never done this and it hasn't been damaged much more than being dropped once from what I know of and that's when my uncle had it first. I don't have the money atm to get a new camera and If someone could help figure this out it would be much appreciated. here's what the screen looks like
