my kodak easyshare

i bought my digicam from ebay its an easyshare M753 yesterday at stonehenge, all of sudden my screen was black , the camera is fine except for that, the flash works andi can view my other photos i took, but when i turn it on, and get ready for a photo its just black, its new, i have only used it a few times.. i didnt drop it or anything, does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?the battery isnt low too.. it is a refurb model... thanks, amy

I know its a stupid question, but have you accidentaly pressed the button that'll shut off the view screen when taking photos?  (Its a battery-saving option.)  I can't remember off hand which button tends to do that on Kodaks...   

hi Criostin , thanks for ur reply, i checked that but i didnt... thanks so much for ur help! i really appericate it! amy

Ugh we have a Canon that randomly does the same thing! I have no idea why. If it is just a normal point and shoot, have you tried using different settings? When our camera freaks out like that, we are able to still use it under the 'custom' and 'manual' modes. Sometimes viewer stays unresponsive for a day or two, but its gone months before! Do you have any camera repair shops around that might be able to have a look?

ok so what idid was change the pixels or whatever u call the resolution... im a dino at tech things.. anyways i went from 7 megapixels to 6.2 and then the camera worked a gain, and also i went back to 7 so its fine now thanks for the replies.....

My uncle came over a few weeks ago and had just bought a brand new kodak easyshare and he accidently sat on it (not even hard) and it did the same thing and didnt work the rest of the trip.... he is taking it back for a refund when he gets home.

Wonder if its a technical fault of that camera....

aww man chrissy, that would make me sad!  its working just dandy now, i guess it could be a problem with them?
