Does the tablet side of your Thrive still work on battery? If the tablet side still works as always I would look for a camera/software problem and not a battery problem. If on the other hand the tablet side runs out of battery faster than before and the screen is much brighter when plugged in, then I would replace the battery and hope that it also fixes the camera problem. You know, the camera may work if you uninstall and then reinstall the same battery, it may reset the system. Good luck, I hope this helps!

I have the same problem. I think the reason is a little switch at the battery compartment. It is meant to prevent power on if you forgot to close the battery door completely. But over time that little switch broke and the camera simply cannot power up again. What a smart idea but poor design. The camera is dead because of such a feeble switch.

Obviously, check all connections. Also, the power might have been cut so you would have to reenter pswd. If you look at face of camera at night you can see if it glows red. If it doesn't the camera(s) not working. Other than that, I would need more info....

I got the same one and it has the same problem it will take still shots but not any video.It might be a big in the software or a wire is loose some where in the camera.

h! there is a cable hanging loose, right? try plugging it to your tablet on the side: that's all it takes! no turn on/off needed. so to not run my batteries i unplug it when not in use

I would say definitely it is one of 2 issues. 1) Your battery is defective and needs replaced. Since it is only a month old, it'll still be under warranty, so should be a simple matter. 2) You have an application that is constantly using resources and is depleting your battery. Charge your battery to 100% and then check your Task Manager to see what is running.Good luck. These machines are really great, and are a superb balance between super slim laptop and tablet.

I am having exactly the same problem, taking the battery out for 30 minutes works for a time but the problem starts again after a few days. Leaving the battery out until required sometimes makes the camera difficult to switch on or off. I don't think that Creative are interested. If anyone has the answer please let us know.

Make sure your camera is in the mode to use the remote. I had a problem as well at first and then realized my camera was not in the mode for remote use.

I wish I could help you... the camera was working fine as I had tested it before my trip. The day before my trip I went to use the camera and could not get it to charge or work at all.

Unfortunately I have never had to reset my camera. Is it fully charged? Is it turning on? I will totally try & help you out the best I can :)

Make sure that when you set it up for use that you go into the camera settings and enable the remote for "quick response." I've noticed that when I go to long without using the remote it enters a stand by mode and I have to re-enable it again. If that doesn't work then you might need to change the battery. Happy shooting!

I got my camera to work! I have a powershot sd750 and it wouldn't power up at all. I tried tricks from other post such as ensuring the cover was closed, opening and removing the watch like battery, to no avail. I got mine to work by connecting the USB cord to my laptop, putting in the battery, and pressing play. It worked! And after that the camera turns on normally. Go figure

I had to plug it into a socket. Kinda lame. Defeates the whole hidden camera aspect of the device. it has a step down transformer in the plug. Like a calculator or a set of desktop speakers.hope that helps you

Hi, thank you so much for the speedy reply! I have performed a reset on the camera, as well as removing both the battery pack and the watch battery, to no avail. I did think of trying an external flash unit, and am currently trying to borrow one from a friend who has a genuine Canon unit to see if this will work. I have also contacted a UK Canon-approved repairer to get a quote, so I should hopefully soon know how much I can expect to pay. Thanks again for your help in the matter. Kind Regards, Andy
