I've been given a digital camera without a charger. The local photo shop wants a small fortune for a charger. Is there another way to charge the small Lithium Ion battery?

You can try plugging in the usb cable to your laptop, or any usb port really but the documentation is unclear whether that will actually charge the battery.


Really the only other really viable option is to find a camera shop, walgreens or tech store that could possibly carry the charger, or at least a spare battery.

You can't charge a battery without a battery charger of some sort. You can order a Canon charger through your local Canon dealer, or order a third-party charger here.

You could try

operatingguides.com

if you need a user manual
or

servicemanuals.co.uk

if you want the schematics etc

We've used them in the past and found them very good.

Also if it is not listed then ask via the link and they
will probably be able to get it for you.

hi It is hard to tell with your description. Any bumping or impact? At this point you have to bring near local repair shop. They might charge you around $35 to 85 depend on what they really want to charge. How ever you can check basic thing in your home. (if you have multimeter, you can check battery and charger unit are good or not, ) thanks and best regard!

hi first you should check the small piece (lock/unlock) on SD card. if not, you should consult to local repair shop. It is then two possible problem..one is memory receptance pcb, two is main pcb.... It is very easy repair. Your local repair shop would charge $45 to 115 depend on what they really want to charge. Thanks and best regard!

The S202 does not include any charging circuitry. The computer connection is solely for transferring your photos and videos, not for charging the battery. You should have received an MH-63 battery charger with your camera, use this to charge the battery.

If you need a charger, you can order one from Nikon at

or a third-party charger from

Hello. When a camera will not hold a charge you must replace the rechargeable battery. Take your camera into a local camera shop along with the charger and have them test both the battery and the charger. This is generally a free service. Joe

please rate my answer as very helpful. thank you.

the cameras rechargeable battwery is worn out, so it will no longer hold a charge, open the battery compartment door, and remove the battery, then copy the information on the battery and purchace a new one that is identical to the old one at a specialist battery store, or off of the internet, then connect the new battery to the camera and charge it

No it is a switching issue and is not going to get better. Kodak technical support will tell you more be prepared though -if you have had this for some time then the next camera purchase looms I guess
