Fuji FinePix S3100 will not turn on.
Sorry, no real solution. My friends have one that would not turn on and they left it without batteries for a month, then put the batteries in and it worked. Mine has failed and will not turn on. I have left the batteries out but nothing has miraculously fixed itself yet. May have to send it in to Fuji.

My camera now works!!! Found a suggestion to clean the battery compartment on opposite side of switch with lighter fluid. Only had pressurized fluid for lighter so used rubbing alcohol instead. Put a few drops of 70% Isopropyl alcohol in chamber and clicked switch several times. Dried with hair dryer. Didn't work, tried again. Didn't work. Then tried a few drops of wd-40, clicked several times, rinsed with alcohol, dried with hair dryer, clicked several times AND IT WORKED. Still works. Thanks everyone(especially codmac) for the ideas.
Need software disc
I BOUGHT ONE THAT WOULDN'T TURN ON, WITH THE CD ON EBAY FOR $5.50 PLUS POSTAGE.
Memory card not initialized
You just need to reformat the card, which you can do through the camera. I sometimes get this problem with my memory card when I take it out of my card reader without properly ejecting it first. The camera will say something along the lines of "Card Not Initialized". So, turn on your camera, hit "menu", then go to "option" (and subset "set up") , then "format" and go to the right and then click on OK and if I remember correctly, it will ask whether you really want to reformat, which you do. Caution though---you will lose any pictures on your card by doing this. But it should solve your problem! Good luck!
Download pitures to hardrive
Plug the camera into the computer using the USB cable.
Open My Computer. There will be a new drive listed there, that is your camera. Open the drive, your photos will be in folders -- just save them to your My Picures (or whatever folder).
It is possible, if you have autorun enabled, that you will get a wizard open when you plug in the USB cable-- you can also just follow the choices there as to how you want the computer to handle your photos. Hope this helps.
Fujifilm S3100 won't power on
I'm not familiar w/ the S3100 but do you see any corrosion in the battery terminals? These camers don't usually just quit working. If the terminals are clean, what battery are you using? How many mA or milliAmpere rating? These are usually indicated on the rechargable battery's sides. There are some new battery in the market. The eveready silver colored battery. I forgot the name. It is one notch above the regular alkaline battery. Let me know if this helps.
Fuji FinePix S3100 won't turn on
there is a option in the menu that turns the camera off after 2min. and then after that it is hard to get started.I took out the rechargable batteries and installed new duracell batteries,and it started and then I went to the menu and disabled the powersaver option.

I think problem is under the lid where batteries go a residue forms. like the same stuff that forms near your car battery terminals. ??
Can't download from camera
Have you tried turning off laptop and back on again, this might help if not just reload software again for your camera.
hope this helps.
Memory card trouble
For Angelbabys and Rflenon, I suggest you get a card reader and copy the pictures to your computer. Then go to Fuji's website to see if you need a new driver to re-install your camera. I'm guessing the problem is software based and not hardware. So you can try to update your drivers or installation softwares at this website:

Lens not working and it wont turn on
I'm not exactly sure how to help you. But can you tell me:
1. How old is the camera?
2. How long have you used it?
3. When was the last time you used it?
4. Was it working then? w/ problems or w/out problems?
5. Who was the last one using it?
6. Did you drop it? Or get water or any liquid on it?
