Polaroid Camera: Why are my Polaroid photos not developing?

Fri, 03 Feb 2017 13:14:22 -0700

Hello, I just got a Polaroid Pro Cam for my 18th birthday, I really love it but I've been having problems with the print outs?! The picture itself only half develops and the colours don't come through! The colours are just cream and there is no image! I don't know if it is the camera or film or if it's anything I'm doing wrong, but If anyone could help I would really appreciate it :)

GoPro Hero3: Go Pro Hero 3 Black, had large impact, now will not function?

Mon, 29 Feb 2016 05:46:35 -0700

Hi,

I was using my GoPro Hero 3+ (Black edition) without the poly-carbonate cover. It took a fall from about 10 metres. When I recovered it, the front LCD screen was cracked and the micro SD card had come out.

When I tried to turn it on it beep like normal, when I put the micro SD card back in I noticed the slot was extremely hot to touch (burning hot), then the GoPro turn off with no noise.

I tried plugging the GoPro into my laptop to check the micro SD card but the GoPro would not stay on after putting the micro SD card in, so I can't even use it as a card reader.

GoPro 3+ (Black edition) is not a cheap camera and I have only had it for about 4 months.

Has anyone had a total failure of there GoPro and was able to get it back to a working state?

Thanking everyone in advance

Lee

Flip MinoHD: Is there a way to fix the glass lens cover on back?

Sat, 18 Apr 2015 22:38:28 -0700

I don't know how it happened, but the MinoHD glass cover on the back has cracked right in the middle of the camera's view. I thought, I could just take out the glass, however, this would leave the internals of the camera exposed. I cannot find a replacement glass and I'm not sure why Flip made the lens so fragile for something that can fit in your pocket. Anyone help?

My SD card slot does not work anymore and I bought a new SD PCB assembly for it. (http://uscamera.com/cg2-3308.htm) Do you have a guide on how I could replace this? I could probably figure out how to do it myself, but it would make me feel better to have instructions
