hiya i have a quite basic camera, its a samsung SCD 103 and theres a problem with the lense i think.

when i put it in the filming mode the screen comes up completely blank, just black, but the funny thing is is that when i first noticed this porblem i fully charged it and it seemed to be ok again.

Then when i took it on holiday it stopped working again, so in the place we were staying i gave it another charge and it seemed to fine again for the whole holiday and didn't need to charge it again during the holiday.

After the holiday it won't work again, i've tryed charing it again but it just wont work, maybe the lense is just very dirty? or should draining the battery help, then charging it up again?

thanks, myles

mmmm only problem is i got it in america but its weird because sometimes it works and then other times for no apparent reason it stops, can you have lenses fixed or replaced by high street electrical shops?

ok, thanks for your help mate, new camera it is!
