Fujifilm Finepix Z35 won't turn on

snit_girl

I bought a Fujifilm Finepix Z35 back in November as a Christmas present and when it came I'm sure I tested it out and fully charged it.

I went to give it a last wee look tonight before wrapping it up and it won't switch on. It goes on when it is plugged in but not when the plug is removed.

It was fully charged and it looks like now it won't take a charge as when it's plugged in the charge light flashes twice and nothing else. The instructions say that it should be on when charging and off when full.

I'm past the 30 days I had to return it, but Argos will take it back for repair now. Problem is I need it for Christmas. Does anyone have any ideas on what to do? Any help will be appreciated.

Are you trying to charge using the USB cable? (the one that connects it to a pc)

Reading online, it looks like this camera can't be charged using USB. Looks as though you will need an external mains charger. Would certainly explain it only working when its plugged in.

I'm hoping this is the issue. If its not, I'm lost sorry.

I didn't try the USB cable, I was usung the mains.

I left it in all night and nothing. Looks like it'll have to go back for repair
