I was given a coolpix s6500 about a year ago. It has stopped working and I know the battery is fine. Can it be repaired and for how much??

I am having problems with my S6500 also, but my problem is the camera somehow is depleting the battery when it is not even on. I purchased the Square Trade repair replacement policy for it through Amazon and they have had it twice within the past month and it still is not working right. I will give them one more try to repair and if it still does not work properly, I will requests a replacement or refund per the contract. I ended up having to purchase another camera to take on a vacation just to make sure I had one.

The same thing happed to me. I replace the batter (which wasn't cheap) and it worked for about a week then died. Not sure that it can be replaced.

i finally sent it to the nikon repair center (look on their main website for information) along with a photocopy of my warranty card and they fixed it and returned it. i hope yours is still on warranty! otherwise i have no idea how much it would cost to fix it. i've lost the "fun" momentum anyway and no longer even enjoy it. a hundred dollars down the drain. good luck with yours.

I would at least contact the vendor. If no help, then the joby people. Maybe there is a defect. Be sure to check your camera's fitting, maybe it's stripped.

I'm sure there will be a variety of responses for this question but personally I had sent mine back to the Nikon Repair Center in NY (for the 5th time) when they offered me a refund. At that point my D600 only had a month of the 1 yr. warranty left and I pretty much had demanded they either FIX it or REPLACE it. They said they could "keep working on it" (didn't really say they could FIX it) or they could refund me so I took the refund. So basically I just gave mine back to them "as is".

To be honest I can't tell you. Also, E_PRANCE lost my returned camera and never issued me my $100+ I spent on the unit. If you order the unit do not send it back for repair.

When mine did this, I went to Wal Mart and bought a new battery. My camera worked just fine after that. I quess my old battery was just worn out...I hope this helps you...

I don't think so... I checked and the battery model for the S4300 is EN-EL19.Amazon sells it too... Here is the link:http://www.amazon.com/Replace-EN-EL19-Rechargeable-Battery-Coolpix/dp/B00578X1UG/ref=sr_1_14?ie=UTF8&qid;=1356564189&sr;=8-14&keywords;=EN-EL19

I ended up returning mine to Nikon to be fixed under warranty. They gave me a credit to either replace it or get a different camera.

what I recommend is the following, send it to the canon factory because even if the warranty expired they can fix it and charge you. When they get you the estimate refuse to get it repair and ask them to send it back to you...the best that could happen is that they get it fixed without knowing like they did with mine.Didn't have to pay one penny.

I am sorry friend but mine is still working fine. Make sure there is not connection problem in the camera itself. If you are lucky Sony may have a replacement LCD. They bought it from someone else. I am sure it is a separate part; unless they are like Cannon which does not repair or have parts for their cameras anymore.

I know how it feels - with my Coolpix 610 the little battery icon in the upper right hand corner no longer shows any bars to estimate how discharged it might be. It is always a total blank. I just keep taking pictures until it the "Battery Exhausted" message appears and won't let me take any more pictures. I then just slip in another couple of batteries I know to be fully charged and resume photo taking. My advice is just always take a pair of fully charged batteries wherever you go. I use the rechargeable NiCad kind of batteries which is the least cost way to go in the long run. Other than the battery changing task, the Coolpix 610 is a great camera and takes great photos.

I would let them repair it if I were you. I've had them repair a couple of my cameras under warranty and the repairs were great.

I have had the same problem occur with my camera 3x! I had the camera repaired in Aug and Oct '07 thru Sony for just the charge of shipping it to them. However, it happened again yesterday and I'm looking into what it will cost. Their website says $141 because it's out of warranty. Not happy with that, so I've emailed their customer service. I was just looking online to see if anyone else has had the same problem, or if it was just my camera. How long have you had yours? I'm very happy with my pictures but not so happy with having to keep getting this thing fixed!

Thanks, Todd. I went for it and found a refurbished one for less than $75 over the cost of a new s1300. I'm sure it will be worth it.

I have not had that problem. I would suspect that the battery is not good. If you have not had the camera very long, check and see if you can send the camera and battery back. Or maybe check with some place in your community that tests batteries to see if the battery is the problem. I don't mean to insult your intelligence, but I have done this before. Are you sure you are inserting the battery the correct way?

Yes. Mine froze up so I ordered a new battery......problem solved. This is a fantastic camera!

That is awesome! I called almost 2 years ago complaining about this problem and they basically wanted to sell me an upgrade for a $100 discount - terrible! Will be sending my camera back asap. Has anyone sent it back already and gotten a replacement? Would love to hear your story!
