My 850 did just die....or should I say it was killed by HP.....yes it may be a couple of years old but i'd be safe in saying that I had taken less than 100...
Get some new batteries, first thing to try. Get good ones from Radio Shack. Not all batteries will do the deed in the 850, but Radio Shack's do. I had a...
Here is a message from a year or two back off this forum. I found it by searching for "firmware": Maaaan, Bring in the music! One happy HP850 owner is back...
I'm not opposed to buyin some new batteries, but I did have a set on the charger that I swapped out at one point when I was just trying anything and that...
... If those batteries are the same age as the camera and have spent most of their time on a charger, then they may well be past their best. Get a new set of...
My second 850 died some months ago. Just on year old. It just didnt want to start up no more. Dont think i bother ask HP what it will cost repairing it. The...
... Hash: SHA1 ... I just upgraded my 850 (whcih I had no major problems with) to an EOS 300D - - very pleased with the new camera and it only cost me 455ukp...
I can confirm this also! I just shipped my 850 out to an eBay buyer this afternoon. I waited a long time between my last use and testing it to make sure it...
I didn't go buy any new batteries yet, but I did hook up the a/c adaptor today to see if the camera would work on a/c power......still nothing.....I gotta...
The adaptor's not going to help if the operating system is still screwed. You need a good set of batteries and a successful update, although I appreciate that...
I hate to tell you that Fuji Heavy Industries makes alot more things than just cameras they also dont spend nearly as much as HP does on R&D. It doesnt matter...
I got gyped out of a $75 rebate even though I had called and they told me that my purchase qualified before I purchased it. Then when I sent it in, they said ...
Difficult to see what the relevance of Fuji's other products might be. HP makes a whole raft of stuff, but it's the cameras we're considering here, and on the...
None of the current digitals will be worth much in 5-10 years, much less 20-30. Optical technology pretty much plateaued in 70's or 80's. I've got an old ...
From returns and defective product I have seen since digtal cameras have come into retail all vendors have issues with defects just the price they sell them a...
I'm a firm believer in the old addage of "If it ain't broke don't fix it".....the issue here is that my 850 had some minor problems and HP's site claimed to...
Unfortunately, no company is likely to give you the data to make a true comparison of failures/defects per 1000 units so we are stuck with sites like this...
It's important to understand that if the batteries are still in the camera, whether they are fuctioning or not, plugging in the AC adapter will not allow the...
That's a lousy situation, isn't it? It's difficult to believe that there isn't a reset option somewhere that HP prefers to keep to itself, especially if it can...
... Hi, I was reading the threat regarding the defective 850, In the netherlands there was a consumers website that made an article regarding warranty on...
Thanks Edwin. I'm afraid my Dutch isn't up to reading all that, but I get your message. I can't think of a good reason why a digital camera shouldn't last 20...
... get your message. I can't think of a good reason why a digital camera shouldn't last 20 years, although it will doubtless have become deeply unfashionable...
My HP850 still works relatively good except for five dust specs that I believe are on the sensor that will manifest themself on relatively plain backgrounds...
I doubt that there is a general purpose charger with the right 'slot' for the R707 battery, as that is almost certainly an HP special. If HP don't do one, then...
Shame, isn't it? HP was such a good company before Carly got hold of it... The dust problem is largely a result of the zoom, I believe, as the extension of the...
I got a phone call from HP today.....and I almost fell on the floor when the man on the phone told me that HP was going to replace my dead 850 as no cost to...
That's excellent news - well done for persisting! Perhaps the new chief will make a difference after all. Maybe he reads this forum... :-) ... I've ... be...
thanx for the tip! i think the inverter config is prob the best way to go. seems like the least amount of time, money & effort. LeftLane100 ... right 'slot' ...
Deja Vu all over again. If you go to the archives and read post 943 and subsequent post, you'll see what I mean. This guy was asking question about the...
