I put a bad card in my camera without realizing it was bad, and it said power off camera. I did and now no card works in the camera. It's totally useless. Can this be fixed?

Plug it to a computer and open its files(explore) look for the file where your photos were stored and move them to your laptop/computer or flash drive from there you can send it.

How do you normally download your pictures?

If you do it by connecting your camera to your computer, simply remove your memory card before making the connection. If you do it by putting your memory card into a card reader, first use the "Copy to Card" command in the playback menu to copy the pictures from the camera to the memory card.

If you have not used the camera in a long time try to reset it. If it was installed on your computer try to reinstall it. Sometimes that will work . I hope this helped a little.

try the last card you had in it before this problem occurred sometime the processor in the camera doesn't realize the disk is gone sort of like your computer once it starts reading a disk and you remove it half way threw the load. Well usually before yu can go any further on the computer you must put the **** back in and close the program out. This issue is usually case on cameras when the disk is removed before the camera is turned off.

The camera uses either SD or MMC cards, it is likely you bent or broke one or more of the connector pins in the camera..Bent pins usually break if you try to straighten them.
Repair costs will probably cost as much as a replacement new camera. On eBay you can buy a C330 for $10-
$40.

Hello,
You should just transfer the pictures to your computer (Then back to the card if you want). I don't think there is a copy to card function. However, internal memory and card memory are separate, so there's no risk of overwriting them, either. Just don't delete them.

Take out the cf and see if your camera turns back on without it. If it does, then you have a bad card...replace it.

Hi there and welcome to FixYa.

Bad batteries can cause that. The flash module needs alot of power to charge. Your camera will still work, but without enough power to charge the flash module, it may take along time. Again.
Try fresh batteries.

Insert memory card, press HOME >> MANAGE MEMORY and select COPY option. Camera will copy internal photo files on memory stick.

bad card... try booting the camera without the card and see what it says
