hi is there any way to fix my Fuji Instax camera its just so happen that i just stored my camera to my cabinet for almost a month and when i want to use it i found out that the batteries are bust or explode .The storage of the batteries are also got melted. what should i do someone help me please .

I just recently got my Instax camera. I started using the first cartridge of films and it worked perfectly fine the first few times. Right after, every time I take a picture the film won't print out. I have to turn it off, and as soon as I power it back on, the film prints out. Does anyone know the reason for this? It's really annoying me and I don't know if it's a battery problem, camera, the film or just a manufacture problem. I would appreciate some feedback ASAP!

My camera is not displaying the number of pictures I have left in my film. It's really annoying because I want to know if I need to change out the film, before I actually take a picture. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I have the hello kitty instax mini 8 camera and recently my old batteries corroded I changed them and cleaned the compartment and I put in new batteries however it does light up but the counter for the film is at S and also the hi key setting and lights don't light up :/ any suggestions

The red light in front of my camera works fine. But the sound that the camera makes when you turn it on no longer comes on. The lights for the different settings wont turn on. Please help. thanks

Whenever i open my unit, the dials are blinking what should i do?

I've had my Instax for about a week and I've only used it once. It worked perfectly fine when I first tried it, but now (again, I haven't turned it on for a week) it starts ejecting all my film out nonstop, without me pressing a single button (all the pictures end up completely black). It won't stop and it still goes for awhile, even after it's been shut off. What's going on and how do I fix this?!

On my camera it will print fine but when it comes to the count on the back of the camera it isn't on the right number what should I do?

Every time i turn my camera on, the red light is on and the weird thing is that i haven't touched the camera in over a month...

All the lights on the camera are switched on and when I try to click a picture ,I am not able to because the picture is not getting clicked. What should I do?

My camera blinks red next to the viewfinder...I haven't dropped it or anything...and I changed the batteries...what is the problem...help please

hello my camera will print the picture but then it will just print black and stay black forever when i take the pic it will come out but then turn darker and it won't stay bright wht do i do?

My film did not come with a box to insert!? What do I do?!

I put the film on the wrong side so now it's front back and it can't come out

I just got my camera for Christmas and I put in the batteries and film, tried to turn it on, except it won't. How do I fix this?

I tooked some pic indoors with my new Instax Hello Kitty, with the proper selection (the little house icon) but the film ejects white and then becomes completely black. I replace batteries and the problem still exists. I replace the cartridge with new film, and again, the photos turns BLACK. The problem only happen indoors. Outdoors the performance is ok, not amazing, but ok. Do you have any idea?

When I can he the brightness to a new setting (high-key etc) it doesn't light up to show that it is on that setting I got it for Christmas and now it is 2nd Jan and I have hardly used it? Is it meant to show a light to show you which setting you have it on?

I'll take some pictre but the pictre did not release in my camera what should i do ? Can you please help me ? Thankyou!

I'll take some pictres but my camera dis not release the pictre what should i do ? Can you please help me?

all of my weather options are flashing orange on my instax mini 8 and wont stop! any suggestions?

I insterted the film upside down and now it isn't coming out. What do I do?

picture is stuck cannot take it off i tried to put new film but cannot make new pic as the pic is blocked

also all the lighting options are lightning

Every time I take a photo it just comes out black and nothing is delevoped.

Was having this problem and couldn't find a solution online. Just took everything apart, examined the internal components and realized that the gears connected to the motor were jammed. Gently pried at them with a flathead screwdriver and ended up freeing them up. Inserted the batteries to give it a test and boom, she works like new! Added some additional lubricant to the gears to prevent another jam from happened and sealed her back up. If you are having the issue of the 4 blinking lights on the viewfinder and you are unable to take a photo even after changing the batteries and film cartridge, I highly suggest you try this. Odds are its a jam in the gears.

just bought, it n the first pic came out white later on edges got yellow but never a pic. also on the number of pic left it stayed on the S is that normal?

When my photos come out there's yellow coloured crack going threw the image ?? It's not happening in them all bit most of them ?? Anyone no what this is ?.

hi, when i took a photo i think i accidentally pulled the film during its process of coming out of the roller. after that, the film got stuck there and i cant pull it out. can you help me?

My button that pops it out is not working what's wronggggg

Mine doesn't display the number of films my camera has left, it's just black, but my camera is working properly

I just changed the batteries and it still won't turn on :( the red indicator light does not want to open

My red light wont turn off and i changed the batteries and stuff but it wont go off and let me take pictures. Ive only had it a couple of months

The red light is constantly on- It wasn't dropped- but how can I fix

Every time I take a picture the film doesn't develop properly. Their appears to be 3 lines on the printed photo but that's it. What can I do?

Help!!! every time my pictures print it comes out blank and white. The front where the picture is supposed to be is blank and white, and the back is black where it says polaroid at the bottom. trying to take cute picture of my new puppy, please help :(

Ok so about half the comments on here describe almost exactly the same problem I had (film only coming out half and then getting stuck / not coming out at all, all the orange lights blinking, little red light staying on, no whizzy noise when I turned it on, pressing the button not making a click etc ). Couldn't find answers to the problem anywhere on the internet other than the fact that people were clearly having the same issue, but eventually got out my paper instruction booklet that I luckily kept and it said to change the batteries with the lens OUT, which was not what I had been doing at all. As soon as I did it properly it came miraculously back to life; I haven't had any problems since. Hope this helps :))

Hi! my " roller " which surrounds the film & lens is broken, which also allows a lot of light 2 come in, causing super bright photos. The rubber like piece isn't attached anymore & would like 2 know if i can buy a replacement part or fix it some other way? thank you!

When I turn the thing to change setting there's no light coming on and I've changed the batteries twice

this is what is happening to my fujifilm right now i really need help: i took the last two photos from the past films, then i did the refill so i was going to remove the protector film , it ws coming out but then it stayed stuck , and i can't remove it is still there if someone knows how to solve this please help

It's my first time using it and I won't even turn on...

Ive had my hello kitty instax for a while and suddenly it's having trouble with the button to take pictures..I press it and press it no matter what I do it refuses to work sometimes then suddenly it does later on SOMETIMES?? Then most of the time doesn't it's really strange. I've looked everywhere and no one seems to have this issue >~< if anyone knows anything please let me know!

my film comes out stained and the picture has a yellow tint to it. you cant see half the picture because of the stain and the back of the picture has light purple staines

is there a place you can take a polaroid to be fixed, or do i just have to buy a whole new one? i can't take apart mine (it's got the red light of death) because i don't have the manual, and i don't want to ruin it even more than it already is.

I am trying to fix my nieces camera. It begins to run through the film as soon as the batteries are in place as if pictures are being taken but they arent can anyone help? I would really like to fix it for her. Thank you!

Hey,

I recently bought my new polaroid camera. I have already taken 3 successful pics. The last time I tried, the camera made a shutter noise and everything, bu the picture just never printed. I opened the back to see if the film was in there. I didn't move the film but once I closed it, the count went from 7 to S. I tried to take a pic and it went to 10 but nothing printed out. The camera was a birthday gift from my parents and I don't want to upset them by telling them... I don't know what to do. PLEASE HELP! :(

Everytime I turn on my camera it automatically takes a photo without me touching the shutter button. I've never dropped it, I don't understand whats going on & its just wasting film.

My slot is somehow damaged and I don't know how to properly clean it. Basically the photo develops but it has a vertical line in the place the slot should be damaged.

Anyone know how to clean it?

hey guys, my camera has been working fine but a few days ago all the photos started to come out half black. You literally can't see the second half of the photo. Has anyone else had this problem or does anyone know what I could do? Thanks!

sometimes the red light on the effect (cloudy/sunny..) doesn't fit right so when i take my picture it's not clear and sometimes black

It seem a line the ink is bleeding on to the roller. What does this mean? Could it. E the film. I know it's the correct film.

I just put a new film and when I try to shoot nothing comes out and all the light on the front are on! Help :'(

Lights for the different lighting is flashing orange

I need help with my flash. It broke from the top and it won't stay. I took a picture without it and the pictures come out blurry. Where can I get a new one?

Every time I take a picture it comes out zoomed in!! Anyone know how to fix this ??

My pictures end up white no matter what the light setting shows what I should put it on.

When putting new film in the camera won't register its new film

There's a giant black/dark green splotch on the bottom right of the photo I took. I'm not sure what i did wrong.. I made sure not to bend it or anything, or shake it, and wasn't blocking the camera view or anything. :/ I've only used the camera once, but i'm afraid to take more pictures, because I dont exactly have the money to keep buying film. :(

Same thing has happened to me where my pictures won't print out . I have changed the batteries and added a new film pack. Before doing that make sure to open the back up (where you add film) and push the grey hook down before adding new film. Should print out right away after that!

Hey, i dropped my camera by accident once. Ref light doesn't change it stays in the same place, so I can't change my settings and I think ink split inside? Pictures come out white with a bit of black ink on them. There is any chance I can fix it?

I don't know what the heak is wrong with my camera so I'd appreciate if someone can assist me b/c I recently got my camera & i do not feel satisfied at all. The first couple of films worked well but after when I would take a picture, the film would turn completely white or print out half of the picture and the rest white.

Hi ,

i just got gifted an instax mini 8. I put in the batteries and the film pack and tried to start but the red light wouldn’t just turn on. I don’t know what should be done. Also can the film that I have inserted in the camera be of any use now and can I remove it from the camera. Since the camera never turned on or have the films got spoiled but just put them in the camera without it staring ? Please suggest what should be done. TIA

Ok so my little brother was running around and had my camera out thank god the lens was in and he dropped it now the settings for light won’t go on and the batteries work it won’t turn on and I don’t know what to do :(

When I try turing on my camera, the orange lights by the lense are blinking & I don’t know what to do. It won’t take pictures and the orange light won’t stop blinking

With my camera most times the pictures won't show

Most times the picture on the film won't show, it'll just be all white

At first when I took photos they wouldn’t print, the film getting stuck in the cartridge which meant I had to pull them out, even then there was no ink on them. Recently, the camera has stopped working, turning from the red light on the back still working but the flash not going off and no photos being taken/no other lights working, to the camera completely not turning on. I’ve had this camera for about 3 years and it only started acting up a few months ago. I’ve tried replacing the batteries but that didn’t work.

i just got a instax mini 8 and was reading the manual and it say the flash is always supposed to fire but with my camera it doesnt always fire sometime it does and sometimes it doesnt. I looked online and i think no one has this problem. WHAT DO I DO !?!?!?!?!?!?!

My friends’ also did the same thing and she even changed the batteries so we know it isn’t that. It’s so weird

Added a new pack little circle still says S…help please

Hello, I was riding my bike a few days ago and when I took my Install Mini 9 out of my bag, the aperture mechanism seemed to be a bit off. I then noticed that it was essentially skipping the “indoor” mode. As in it can now only select cloudy, bright, ultra bright and high key. is there any way that I can fix this?

I m wondering if I can take off the shell and fix it on the inside? I dropped it in the rain but it didn't really get wet. When I dropped it the battery case came off and the batteries fell out. I've replaced the batteries.

I bought today, so i put the film where it is and power is on but the it won't capture it. I was getting very frustrated. How to solve this please, or the baterry?

Hey today I tried to use my camera and the red light on the back will not come on .also there are four lights in the front that keep on blinking. Like nothing works I bought new batteries and a new film pack today…

Hey Sa’Maria Wright, I have had the same issues like yours except with the blinking lights. I will work sometimes and sometimes it won’t work. I have no idea why this keeps happening to me and others.

My batteries are fully charged. i have a brand new pack of pictures

But it is not working

And there an ‘S’ where the number should be

What does this mean and how can i fix it?????

The red light comes on but doesn’t flash idk if it’s supposed to but it doesn’t also the orange lights on the front won’t even turn on at all and it won’t take any pictures

The lever to push the photos out is not pushing them so in return I can’t take pictures. Will I need to send it in for repair or can I fix it some how?

Our camera will not take a picture. Film and batteries are new. Lens comes out fine.

I have an Instax Mini 7 and whenever i take pics inside or somewhere remotely dark, my pictures just come out black-ish green-ish and i think that my flash is broken? Because i it wont go off when i take pics in the dark. Does anyone know how to resolve this problem?

My daughters camera has the red light on plus the 4 orange blinking lights and when you push button to take a pic it makes a cat noise and nothing happens

I’ve tried dry shooting it and put in brand new batteries I’ve cleaned the camera but it won’t take a picture the film is full but it says s at the back and it won’t even take a picture

The first photo of every film cartridge comes out brilliant, but every photo after that develops to black!! Any ideas??

I have tried everything on my camera and just notice it doesn't read that a new cartilage is in it. Opened up and nothing seems broken or out of place. Why would it be doing that?

With my camera, I got it about a year ago. It worked for a couple months then stopped randomly. The battery slot was covered with white powered so I tried to get it out. I tried changing the batteries twice, and both times nothing happened. I turn it on, and even the len’s lights dont turn on. I have a brand new film pack in, so I’m not sure what’s happening.

When I tried to take pictures. There is no FLASH no Photos as well just color black.

Brand new batteries. Brand new film cartridge and NOTHING WORKS.

hello, how to troubleshoot a malfunctioned film roller?

The picture comes out white and doesn't develop at all

Pictures are coming out just grey fuzz

My lense works but the thing that opens inside to take the picture doesn't always open and I don't know why. Is there something I can do? It's been like this since I got it.

I was trying to take a picture with my Instax Mini 9 and I tried to eject the protective layer by taking a picture, as you’re supposed to. But it didn’t eject, and now it’s stuck, and I don’t want to pull it or I’m afraid I’ll destroy the camera. Is there any advice you could give me?

I accidentally dropped my Instax mini 9 and no harm was done but the pictures started showing up black so I changed the film and the first picture turned out great but then they went back to black and I don't know how to fix it.

I dropped my Fujifilm camera and it started flashing red I closed it and know the light is not even turning on at all

pictures are coming out black and fuzzy after first photo comes out fine..changed batteries and film. please help

Hello! I’ve had my Polaroid for a couple years now. Every once in a while, a photo that I took would come out completely black. The longer I’ve had it, the more frequent this issue becomes. It’s gotten to the point where I only get one picture out of ever 10-15 I try to take. The rest of them are all black. The flash is working, I’ve tried out all the settings , I’ve taken far away and close up pictures, I’ve changed film packs … any other suggestions ?

Has anyone had this problem?, I put a new film new batteries and the Lena pops out but just won’t take any pics . I haven’t dropped it anything I push the button to take the pic and nothing happens. Also when I put the film in the number window thingy didn’t change or move.

Hey guys, we had an issue where the film wasn’t coming out, even with with 2x new films. We solved the issue and wanted to share the details in case anybody else ran into the same issue.

We unscrewed the back and re-aligned the springs, and one of the ‘holding-pins’ was out of alignment. We re-aligned it and put it all back together. The springs seem to have been holding it closed as you can imagine. Just make sure those springs are locked in, as they could slide back out again and you then have a new film exposed- which makes it hard to remove once again.

But how do you open up the viewfinder to clean the inside? Please help me!

I have the instax mini 7, and the flash isn’t working, and the pictures are coming out all black. I’ve replaced the batteries, and have taken very good care of this camera, never having had dropped it once. If someone could please help, that would be amazing.

I have the instax mini 8 and i accidentally dropped it from a high place, i tested the battery and it's working fine, but the film shows on S although before that it was on 9, what's happening to my camera??

We shake it for 1 hour already but nothing happens

I took a picture 30 minutes ago, I waited 30 minutes for the picture to show up. Nothing happend.

I have a instax mini 8

I took a picture with my instax mini 8. I waited 30 minutes and the things is all white :( I would like some help.

I followed all the suggestions and my camera is still not working. I replaced the batteries, I replaced the film, I took it apart and put it back together, and it’s still not working. The red light by the viewfinder is on and the lights by the lens are flashing. When I open the lens there is a slight delay but nothing too big. Should I just buy a new one? Or hire someone to fix it?

My camera has been taking pictures just fine but every time I take a picture, there's white lines that pop up on the picture, which take away from the picture as a whole. What can I do to fix this?

I have a problem my camera keep flashing the lighting settings and I cant take pictures

My viewfinder is off by almost half the distance of the center circle. The center circle will give me a photo that is on the left and at the bottom of the page. I have burned thru 5 photos to find this out.

My previous camera did not do this. What is the fix?

I cant get my camera to work i never got the manual because its a old camera from someone in my big family the film comes out black every time ive taken 7 pictures and all of them are black

the red light in the back is on but the button showing the lighting option suggested won’t turn on and therefore won’t take the picture. I have used many pairs of batteries(the right kind and in the right place). There was one time where all of the options were lit up but I still couldn’t take the picture. WTF is going on?(Yes, I have film in my camera I’m not a pea brain and i also replaced the pack with a new one)

Der Belichtungsdrehschalter funktioniert nicht. Die gelbe Leuchte der Einstellung leuchtet immer auf Haus, selbst wenn ich den Regler auf z.B. bewölkt drehe.

LED red light flashes quickly when press the button to take picture

I don’t get it at all somebody please help I got it as a gift and when I took my fourth picture it was blank

Never mind I figured it out

New batteries, new film cartridge but won't take pictures??

Schönen guten tag, ich habe eine instax mini 11 bekommen und beim versuch zu fotografieren blinkt ein orangenes licht dauerhaft woran könnte es liegen?

My instax mini 8 lost the little metal plate in the battery casing. The red light comes on but that's all it will do. Is the metal plate necessary in order for the camera to work?

I haven’t used my camera I’m a while and I recently put new batteries in it and will not work. There is no indicator that it is on or working and I have no idea what is wrong.

I just recently got the camera as a gift, and I read all the instructions. Got the camera all set up and film loaded. First picture came out great! The rest however kept coming out black. In any lighting with different settings, didn't matter. Changed the batteries just in case and thought maybe it was a bad pack of film. Loaded up a new pack of film and once again, first picture came out great, then the rest black. I never opened the back. I store the camera in a safe place. Never dropped it. So I'm kind of stumped on what's going on. I'm about to give up and have it get returned so the person who bought it for me can have their money back. Anything helps thank you!

i take a picture with my instax mini 9 it comes out i wait and it doesn't develop or gets white spots why please help

My mini 8 camera is not working.

The retract button doesn't make the lens pop out. I can manually retract it by slipping my fingernail in and pulling it slightly. When I manually retract it that orange lights all light up and continuously blink. I did find out my son trying to put a credit card inside ?

Does anyone know of a place to get these worked on?

Well they said the camera need to used alkaline LR6 1.5V but I already used it but still the camera not working and there are red light appear at the side of the viewfinder. Can someone help me?

Was für ein Defekt hat die Kamera wenn die Lampen dauerhaft blinken??

When I take pictures they come out very dark and sometimes even all black. I’ve had this camera for a while now and it didn’t do this until a little more recently. I didn’t know if maybe the film was old because I didn’t use it for a while but I even bought new film.

Hi somehow the metal parts that has the battery in between it not the two plates that spring but the other side is missing and I was wondering is there anywhere I can purchase replacement ones

My Polaroids are all coming out to be totally blank. What can I do? And I just wanna ask if the light that we see is orange or not and does it blink?

New bateries but there is no lights burning, camera seems death.

This occured after the photo was jammed in the camera. Since that moment nothing works anymore. This a relativly new camera, I have no receipt so i can’t go back to the store.

Bye, everybody and hope your cameras are fixed!

Der Linsen Schutz geht nicht mehr zu

I saw specks of muck through the view finder, so I cleaned with cotton bud, can’t see anything through it now, just completely black. It was working fine before I cleaned it. What can I do? Still takes photos but I’m unable to take good ones.

My instax mini 8 was working find and my “smart ass” decided to clean the viewfinder with cotton ball damped with alcohol and it went completely black is there any fix for this?

How to clean a mini 8 ink leak

The red flashing is still happening despite new batteries, new film. The lens opens fine. No film comes out, no shutter sound. It's brand new. Technology sucks. It's killing us all. This is another landfill item. Crap!

I have done all the trouble shooting and my Instax Mini 11 still will not work. I have replaced the batteries, I have cleaned the camera, I replaced the old film with new film, nothing works. I have only used 2 10 packs of film in this camera. I have not dropped it. However no lights come on it doesn't work. How do I fix this?

on my lens there a light i don't know what to do

Mine isnt turning on, also the film falls out easily, i think something inside the film area is broken.

Cuando la prendo se prende la luz roja sl lado de la camara para ver pero las luz de la ruleta no s eprende intento sacar una foto y no sale ni sale flash es una instax mini 8

Just got a mini 8 one of these, and everythings good besides the aperture feature is a bit iffy. The light doesn't indicate and change onto the mode i rotate the lens onto. It works for the house icon, but doesn't change to the other options. Wondering how I fix this? thanks :)

my aperture options won't change over besides the house icon, tried taking a shot of my friends outdoors and it came out black. Even though I rotated the lens onto the sunny icon (indicating outdoors) wondering how I can fix this? Would really appreciate it. Indoors is fine and so is everything else just can't seem to change the aperture options?

I saw the red light of death on my brand new instax mini 8, but it turns out the battery I was using was damaged!
