Has anyone had this problem? My 850 flashes its display screen to white and then shuts down without retracting its lens whenever I pop up the flash. When the...
My first thought is the power of your batteries. Believe me, the 850 needs powerfull Batteries. Try New Energizer 2300 mAh rechargeable. Asking for the date...
I agree. Popping the flash up immediately draws more current, as it charges up ready to flash, and if the batteries are tired, the whole camera will simply...
Well Kate, I'm sorry you had some bad luck with your 850. I also had one replaced, because of specs, and spots on the inside of the Lens. the 850 has had it's...
I agree (and sympathise). It wasn't until I recently bought someone else's 5 Mpixel camera that I realised how good the 850 is - its pictures are far superior,...
Hi everyone, I'm new here -- I came across this group while searching for a solution for the broken battery door of my Photosmart 850. Well, from reading the...
Hi, After about 1.5 years of owning my camera I had the same problem. When I purchased my camera at Staples ($800.00) they of course offered me an extra ...

Ellen, Looking at the picture you provided, it appears as if the corner that the battery door attaches to is broken away. A new battery door probably wont be ...
... Actually, the broken corner would be relatively easy to fix. But the bits inside the battery door, that hook under the corresponding parts on the camera...
Here is a possible suggestion to try.... You might want to try a HEAVY DUTY elastic...(like a fabric hair elastic, if it's not long enough you could link a few...
Makes me think that if we had a gallery of enough HP cameras variously patched up with elastic, tie-wraps, duct tape, velcro, string etc. (with a prize for the...

I have the same problem. So what I did was use a micro-drill to drill 3 pairs of holes - right, center and left (on the battery cover itself, and the other in...

... variously ... HP ... Done! :-) I've just created a folder named "Patched up cameras" in the "Files" section, and uploaded my "tie-wrap" photo there. (I...

I agree entirely, but HP have had that attitude for some time. I tried to get a printer part some years ago, and the cost was more than the printer was worth...
I have posted photos of my solution to the problem of broken battery door to the group photo albums entitled "Broken batery door". I appreciate your comments....
A good effort, especially as the combined force of the battery springs is quite high (which is why the plastic breaks in the first place). I would caution...
... Man, this is weird. I just superglued my battery door today. With me it was not the door itself, but the little plastic thingies on the body that hold the...
Well, It has taken an issue like the battery door to start some activity again on this site. Last February 2004, I had a similar problem with the corner of the...
Hi everyone, Something unusual and apparently irreversible happened to my 850 this last weekend. I'm attaching a couple of photos (if this Yahoo Group accepts...
Hi All, Sorry if I upset anyone by sending sample photos with my initial post. I should have thought about sending unsolicited attachments. My bad. =8^( I...
