Just use a card reader instead of your camera.

I did the same thing. Is the little medal piece still on the inside of the battery cover. If not you will have to replace the entire door and you should be all set.

The camera is probably defective. Warranty?!?

Unless you have put the batteries in wrong or not used fresh ones!

I've got 16 of these cameras and had to replace the door on 3 of them. (I'm a teacher)

it is quite simple, but there are little tiny screws and some dexterity required!
to replace the battery door, you need a super small screwdriver (I've used both an eyeglass size and the screwdriver that came with my son's tech deck!) . you'll have to unscrew all of the small screws that hold on the back of the camera. remember which screws go to which hole - because some are longer than others. once the screws are out, you'll have to gently pry off the cover. carefully - you dont want to crack the camera case. you'll also want to be careful not to touch the sensor, which will be exposed with the case off.

NEXT you;ll have to pry the little spring out of the battery door to actually remove the old door. you'll probably have to use a screw driver to pull the spring on the new door back enough to fit back into the holes. that's really all there is to it. replace the cover and the screws.

Use only Lithium batteries.

USE ONLY LITHIUM BATTERIES.

Alkaline batteries don't last long and often can't supply sufficient power on start-up... even when they are new!

Lithium batts cost more, but they last way longer than the equivalent $ value of alkaline batts.

Try ebay. They have it all. You might be able to find a camera that doesn't work but is being sold for parts. I see stuff like that on there all the time.

monkey1,

As this is an old post, do you still require help?

Have you contacted Kodak tech support?

Apart from the Kodak software to connect the camera, you could use a USB card reader.

Take the memory card from your camera and put in the card reader.... it transfers MUCH faster than directly from the camera too.
