It's a polaroid, PDC 4355. I think the PDC thing is the make or model, but I don't know what it is. All it does when I turn it on is the screen comes on a blue decorative background that says Polaroid on it. That was what it always did first while turning on when it was working.
There are no places that can fix my camera in my shop. I tried the only two local places (in the phone book), but both have gone out of buisness. I tried Best Buy, but they can't fix my model, and the only place left is a camera shop at the mall, and they say it'll cost $140 to send it out to be fixed, and that's about ten dollars less than what it would cost to get a new one of similar quality. How would I fix this myself?
My dad said that he might get me a new one next weekend, but we don't have a lot of money right now and I want to fix it if I can. Otherwise, I'll just destroy it and then I'll get a new one next weekend. Sorry, that last paragraph was messy. Let me clarify: I want to fix it, and if I fail, killing it, I will just get a new one next weekend. There's no harm in trying, right? The main problem I have had with digital cameras is that the batteries don't have good/clean contacts. The solution is to use a clean eraser (rub on clean paper to clean) to clean the batteries and contact points in the camera. Make sure the batteries are full charged. This may not be your problem, but it has been my problem.
Pencil eraser is the best way to clean metal contacts. It takes off gunk, and corrosion. User the one off the back of an HB pencil, it has be to semi-hard not that Uber soft kind. Polaroid PDC-4355 User Guide
