Front assembly replacement

Hello, I don't have the manual for your Z612 in front of me at the moment but does this model not have a small button marked EVP/LCD
near the LCD screen ? If you press the button it should switch from the LCD screen to the viewfinder.

Unfortunately, there are no repair manuals for Kodak Z612 and/or Z712 digital cameras .If you want to fix / replace the LCD screen here's a helpful Video Tutorial on how to replace the screen.

Here is a direct link to the ONLINE USER'S MANUAL for that model:

open the case of camera using small screw driver

Yes. There is a website called virtualvillage dot com that has screens for most Kodak cameras. They only cost about a third as much as compared to buying from Kodak. It only takes about half an hour to change it and only simple handtools are needed, nothing special.

if theres always a lines on the your photos it means that the camera is already defective, I strongly suggest Do not Dismantle the Lens, what you can do is to call kodak toll free 1 800 235 6325 and ask them to send your camera on their Repair center., Gudluck!

the lcd screen can be replaced . will run $150.00 plus .

I droped my 612 and the shutter button came off, and i cant find it. Can I get a new one.

Sell on eBay and then buy new camera

This problem is frequently due to corroded battery terminals inside the camera. Remove the batteries and wipe the terminals with a soft cloth (heavy corrosion may require a fine wire brush, steel wool, or sandpaper). Remove any residue left in the camera by the cleaning. Clean the terminals on the batteries in the same manner, and then replace them in the camera. This cures most problems, but if it doesn't work for you, check the Kodak troubleshooting guide at:

It uses a simple Q&A format to diagnose problems and propose solutions.

If you're handy, you can replace it in about 3 minutes. Don't attempt it unless you're willing to risk tearing a thin flexible circuit under the rear cover. Looking at the camera from the rear, remove the screws on the right hand side ( 2 ? ) then the screws across the bottom - open the card door, remove the card, and wedge a knife blade between the front and rear cover halves - the card door will be loose with an attached spring coming free. No need to remove the rear housing completely, just enough to expose the tracks for the battery cover hinge. Remove the old door, noting the position of the opening spring at the hinge, by angling one hinge out first. Insert the new battery cover and the card door in reverse order.
