Kodak m1073 is won't power on

SOURCE: kodak m1073 dont open

The problem you describe is frequently the result of dirty/corroded battery contacts in the camera. Try removing the batteries and cleaning the inside contacts with a fine wire brush, steel wool, or fine sandpaper. Remove any residue left from the cleaning, then replace the batteries. Hopefully all will be well.

If the cleaning doesn't work you might want to check the Kodak troubleshooting guide at:

This is happening to mine as well. I don't know what to do!

SOURCE: Kodak Easyshare Z1285 won't power all the way on.

you have a capacitor that will not hold a complete charge to power your camera. Capacitors are made to hold a certain amount of voltage to operate functions fully. If one of these capacitors gets a hairline crack they will lose their power causing a problem such as you have here.
Each function has it's own capacior so that is why the other functions are working still especially when it shuts off automaticly after you turn it on. Upon turning it on the camera is if set to take pictures the mode is set for the display. Simnce the display circuit is not functioning the camera will shut down itself. The cost to repair outweighs the cost of a new camera these days sorry to say
