Look into the lense while setting the shutter speed at a half second or so (slow enough for you to see the shutter open and close) and click the shutter release... you should see the shutter open and close. If you don't see this, then you may have a 'sticky shutter' resulting from lubricant seeping into the shutter/aperature mechanism and preventing the shutter from functioning as it should.(Common problem reported with the S2 and S3 cameras... and probably the S1 as well)
I have gotten my S3IS to take pictures by turning on the power, then opening the battery compartment door and reclosing it repeatedly until the shutter opens (from the power surge) and an image appears on the LCD.
After confirming the sticky shutter was indeed the problem, I pursued a more permanent fix.
Most likely some dirt, dust, or other particle is jamming the lens opening gears. You can try to spray some compressed air into the lens assembly, hopefully dislodging whatever is obstructing the lens cover. If this doesn't work, the camera will have to be serviced, which can be expensive. If the compressed air doesn't work, and you decide to have it fixed, get an estimate first. Often the cost of repair justifies going ahead and purchasing another camera.
Good luck, thanks for using FixYa, and hope this helps!
How are you getting viruses on your card? Are you using your computer to add pics to the card? If so, that's the problem. You need to format the card in the camera.
Try with m-seal which is like cement.You can make a small mould of the part which is brocken and fix it carefully.I have done it many times. This will solve your problem.
If you still have few days warranty, call Fuji at 1-800-800-3854 , select option 1 and register your product, or check the website. They will tell you if the camera is still on warranty. Here also US website.
take off the lens cover?, the cover blocking the actual camera lense, this is preventing the startup of the camera or your getting a black screen window right, or slide the cover that over the lense across

I am having the same problem with mine. Sometimes that screen comes on and sometimes the red light just blinks. Is it possible to fix?
