My instax camera fell about less than 1m height, and now the red light next to the viewing lens is not disappearing. Due to that, i cannot take photos when i press the button. Help?
Is this a good question?

Hi! A few minutes ago, I had the same problem. I also dropped my camera and the red light won't disappear. I've tried other batteries but it didn't work. After 30 minutes of changing the batteries it worked again. I suggest you use AA LR6 batteries. They have to be from the SAME brand. Don't use 2 different brand batteries. I hope it will work! (Also, please use NEW batteries. I changed my batteries with old ones and that's probably why it didn't work after 30 minutes)

Do i have to also insert the films with batteries before i turn the cam on?
Dont stress I tried that method, it didnt work I dropped my camera too I tried to take the picture but the red light wouldnt go away ,all I had to do was keep it off overnight when you wakeup it will be good as new it just needed time to reboot NO BATTERIES NEEDED !TRY THIS METHOD !!!!!
Mine has the red light but it's brand new and has never even come close to being dropped and i'm really worried about it. I tried changing the batteries but that didn't make a difference.
I had that too and all I had to do was change the batteries
I'm so worried about my camera right now I just dropped it and now the red light isn't going away I don't know what to do PLEASE HELP

how come when I take a picture the picture comes out white and stays white? is the film broken & before I put this new film the old film I had was perfectly fine? is my film wrong or my camera?

You have to waft it to get colour
this happened to my camera.. it might be different for you but i kept taking out the film so when I took a picture it turned out white so I just put a new film pack in my camera and it started to print the pictures again.
That means you exposed the film after the film is exposed you need to change the film and not expose film
1. make sure it’s on the right setting. if you have your camera on the wrong setting then the shot will be over exposed. 2. once you take out your film it is NOT important to waft it. put it in a clean, dark place, like a bag or pocket and let it sit there for 3-7 minutes. it should have developed
Mine stays white and never changes u realy need to fix this email me back cause im getting fustraited

If you make sure that all of the batteries are popped just perfectly into they're spots it will work. Make sure they're all facing the same way too. I thought I could never fix mine and I did by doing this.

Hi, we had the same issue with the Instax mini 8 andblinking lights and we could not get out the casette, we solved* Hit <enter> to insert another list item, and <enter> twice in a row to end the list. To get subitems, repeat the bullet character once for each level of indent you want (e.g. **) this by using a sisser and knife.the problem is rhat the last picture was hanging and this was caused by the small silver item in the right corner when you open it. After we removed the last casette to put a new one in this silver item did not get back to the right corner but was about 1cm above.We solved this by putting the old empty casette in it, pushed the button to make a picture and then removed the old casette again, now it was solved , the silver item was back in the right corner again and after installing a new casette it was working perfectly again

I had the same problem but you just have to leave the camera alone for about 10-15 minutes. Then you have to take out the batteries and get new ones. Finally you have to take out the pictures that you put in and reput them in. If that doesnt work then I dont know but it worked for me. The first picture you take might not come out but the second one should.

I had the same problem, mine was turning on but every time i pushed the button no film would come out as though i hadnt turned it on what i dicovered was that light is probably just indicating that you need to change your batteries, when i changed mine my camera was good as new.

At first, my camera was just broken. I have the Instax mini 9 and I dropped it a couple of times and it was working after that but I have a photoshoot tomorrow at school and I went to get the camera that I haven’t touched in so long and the red light was just stuck there. I replaced the batteries and did everything I could and spent 2 hours fixing it. Then, I took out the batteries and switched them and opened the back. It started whirring and it took a picture. The light starting flashing again and now it works. Hope this helps!

Hello, i have a problem with my Instax mini 8. I think it was 2yrs since the last time I used it. I kept it in the cabinet for that long. 2wks ago I tried opening it but the batteries got too old some particles were scattered. I cleansed it with wipes and cotton buds with alcohol but not too wet. Just the right amount to weep all the dirt. I just bought new films and new Everedy Alkaline AA to try it but it won't turn on. No light at the front and at the back. Need help!
