My Kodak easy share c183 will only work if I have a USB cord plugged into it
I have tried new batteries and different kinds of batteries. And the inside the battery compartment is clean and shinny
Is this a good question?

Then I suspect the battery holder wire has come loose on the other side of the battery chamber. Heres a good image of the inside of the chamber: Battery case. In fact you can see the contact on the left is green with corrosion.
Follow this IFIXIT guide to Step3 to gain access to the contacts: Kodak Easyshare C183 Lens Assembly Replacement. If you can get the batteries to stay in you should be able to use a DVM to measure the voltage at the contacts to verify the contacts are OK.

Oh ok I will look at that but the other end of the USB cord don't have to be plugged into anything as long as a USB cord is in the USB port it will show on the screen if the cord isn't plugged in all it does is a black screen you can take pictures but can't see them til the cord is plugged in
mmm .... That does add a wrinkle here ;-{
So just having the cable plugged in into the camera alone alters things so that nix's the battery case issue.
I would take a magnifier and inspect the USB socket to see if the pins are damaged (shorting). Also try a different USB cable does that make a difference?

Have you tried replacing the batteries? Also, do the contacts in the battery compartment look nice and shiny or is their white or green junk inside?

Yeah it's odd I have never seen it before I was gonna send it in to Kodak and see what is wrong with it and I hear they went out of business so I have no idea what to do.
