Camera Will Not Turn On
Dead Battery
If the camera does not turn on, the problem may be that the battery is dead and needs to be replaced. The cartridge holding the undeveloped film and power pack are the same unit. After replacing the cartridge, the camera should turn on.

Camera Will Not Take Pictures
Out of Film
If you are trying to take pictures, but the camera will not shoot, the camera may be out of film. All you need to do is replace the cartridge. Once the cartridge is replaced, try turning the camera on and taking a picture.

The Flash Will not Go Off
Bad Connection Between the Bulb and Camera
If the flash will not go off while taking a picture, there may be a bad connection between the camera and flash. The wires may have been severed and will need to be checked out.
The Bulb is Burned Out
If the flash still will not go off after the connection has been checked out, the bulb may have burned out. You may need to replace your Polaroid camera.

I will put the film into my camera and it will make a loud kind of "rrrrr" and the top rolly thing (sorry if you need a more detailed description ask) keeps spinning until I take out the film. This camera was my great grandpas before he recently passed and I want to use it like he did.
Please help.

I've been using a spirit 600 for a few months and it's been working great. All of a sudden it's stopped ejecting pictures. I've lost two packs of film so far to this :( any help is appreciated.

Just bought a 600cl supercolor for my boyfriend. None of the lights on back and neither does the flash. I got my money back and bought him a new one but I was wondering if there’s anything we can do to fix the first one?

I have a vintage Spirit 600 Polaroid. Since last night the flash has not been going off and the picture comes out all black. I took it on a trip and think it may have gotten knocked around too much on the buses and flights. What could be the problem, just the bulb or something more serious?

When my photo spits out, it has a thin film apoarently from the film pack ON IT. It slips back into the camera when I pull the expised photo from below. Have NO idea how to troubleshoot this. Received Polaroud 600 only yesterday.

I recently had to open my Polaroid 600 Business edition to fix the shutterbutton. Now the button is fixed but the camera no longer powers on. Is it possible the film battery is just dead?

I doubt anyone is even still checking this forum but I just got a polaroid cloesup 636 yesterday and was able to take 4 successful photos with it before the led (flash charge indicator) stopped lighting up. I read that I should try changing my film cartridge but after wasting half a pack of film it still is not lighting up and I am unable to take pictures now. If anyone has any advice I would be eternally grateful as I have had the camera for less than 24 hours.

i just bought a polaroid camera (600 land) at a garage sale, and the person selling it said it worked so i took a chance and bought it. when i brought it home it wouldn’t turn on, and i had to do some outside research to figure out how to work the camera. i took a gamble and ordered a pack of 600-land camera film. it arrived and i replaced the old film and it immediately turned on! however, it took me a bit to figure out how to take the picture. i accidentally took a picture of the ceiling when i was in the process of figuring it out, AND to make things worse, i can’t take any pictures. there’s no noise, no red light that was supposed to pop on, nothing. it’s really annoying!!! PLUS, the picture i accidentally took of the ceiling didn’t even develop right. someone please help me, i don’t want to spend anymore money on a film/battery pack.

Problem not addressed: My Polaroid-600 won’t open! I can’t flip the flash up to take pix. It appears stuck and I can’t figure out what it’s caught on. I pull pretty hard and am worried about breaking the plastic. Help!
