whats wrong with this camera?

[LordOfShadows]

Right, one of the perils of living with your parents is that they expect you to be able to fix the electronic gizmos and other ****, which I aint real good at, so would anybody know whats wrong with a camera that upon being switched on blinks the shutters a few times, zooms in and out without showing anything on the screen and then says "please turn power off and then on again" and then goes dark?

Thanks

Tried replacing the batteries? Cleaned the memory card?

 

[LordOfShadows]

Um, no but I will soon. As I said I aint real good at this sort of stuff, I barely know my way around my PC.

Edit to say, I wiped the memory card and checked the battery it looks okay but nothing has changed.

Did it fall or get wet?

Yeah that sounds like a pretty serious problem with the electronics, I doubt you will be able to fix that yourself. Take it to a shop I guess.
