My camera doesn't upload pics. cable? whatdoido?

I have an olympus point and shoot, the one waterproof 4.0mp one or whatever.

after 2 years of use (not abuse) it doesnt upload pics. like i plug it in, press the “pc” thing on the screen of the camera, then nothing happens.

I don’t know if its just the cord, or if its the camera. I dont have a spare cord, and I assume they’re pretty pricey. Don’t want to buy one if the problem is the camera not the cord

what do i do?

external or internal mem?

if its external just get a reader for what ever card you have an pretend like its a flash drive

try switchin usb ports. somtimes usb ports die

yea my laptop has 3 usb ports, doesnt work on any, nor a comp at school

im trying to figure it out cause i dont know the cost of a card reader vs. the cost of a new cable (if that is the problem which im trying to figure out)

what happened on my digi cam is the actual usb plug on the camera took a dumb check to see if everything there looks ok

do this

go to the hayes computer lab. Where the black and white printer is, there are 3 comps hooked up to scanners. One of then has internal flash card readers. Stick card in, and voila!

You can then save to your I drive, or to USB thingy…

i have the small size card, they only have the big joints.

I used my sisters camera cable and it works. where do I get a new cable?

Radio Shack…

a card reader is like 10 bucks.

What kind of memory is it? I have a card reader that is brand new in box that I never used because my laptop has onboard…

Let me know what kind and I’ll hook you up.

i dont know. its like .95" by .75"

olympus is pretty gay, usually have to call them for a new cord, or swap it with your sister and then its her problem lol
