Hi, I've just purchased a used f80, the seller said it was forking fine. I've just loaded a brand new set of 123 batteries and all I get are the grid lines, and only some symbols on the lcd. I get a "1" and some symbols that I guess are from the autofocusing selector.
Strange thing is, I get these even if the camera is on "Off"... any ideas?
I've already tried another set of batteries...

The lens you are using has the aperture ring set to something the camera cannot use. Simply turn the aperture ring to the largest number, usually a 22 or 32. Lock that ring if there is a lock and the fee should be gone.
If the gears are stripped, it will require an experienced tech to repair.
That being said, there should be a small switch near the lens mount to switch between auto and manual focus mode's, be sure that that switch is pointing to A. When set to M, the little screw recesses into the mount so it doesn't try to engage, when set to A, it'll extend very slightly.
Also, Nikon has manufactured two types of AF lenses - with the motor in the body and with the motor in the lens, as with most newer lenses. Your camera should have a small screw on the lens mount that drives the focus motor between the lens and the camera, but I'm not 100% certain on that. Your camera can focus lenses with and without this type of coupling. BUT, if that screw/motor in the body is not functioning, you'll only be able to use lenses which contain the focus motor inside them, or manual focus lenses (you can manually focus AF lenses too).
That sounds like your battery could be dead/not hold a charge. If you've charged your battery already and your camera still won't stay off and turns off right away, it's time to purchase a new battery for your Samsung TL105.
You can use almost any 35mm (size 135) film available. Black&white, color negative (print), color transparency (slide). The only restriction is that you can't use infrared film since the camera uses infrared light internally. Any brand will work, as the film size and cartridge are standardized.
Hi darciegracem, Does this happen with the MB-16 battery pack using AA batteries? If so clean the contacts on the battery pack and inside the camera. Make sure it is screwed snug to the camera. If it happen when using the two 123 batteries as well, it may need a trip to Nikon. These cameras go used for about $100 or less thus, you may not want it repaired but, rather purchase a used one from a reputable dealer. The F80/N80 is a very nice camera.
Hi , check everything set c amera speed to 60/seconds auto or manual / check also the the camera shutter blade , open the lense and close to activate the shutter blade .
