Canon G12_I cannot take a picture. Purple lines fade in and out, then black screen.

Uploaded a few photos off the G12 and then charged the battery and when I reinstalled the battery I could see pictures, but when I switch them to camera mode I have brief purple lines then black. And I'm not able to take pictures. Help!

Uh oh, sounds like the processor or sensor could have retired. I have to assume that you can not access the menu to do a complete reset of the system, so I remove the battery and try to keep about an hour. With the battery, press the power button and hold for about 10 seconds. Then, reinstall the battery and see if it does the same thing. If so, you may need to contact Canon on a repair, but that could be very expensive. It could have been a static load that occurred when you changed the battery, otherwise the processor or the sensor has reached the end of the line.

I feel your anxiety that I have a PowerShot G12 and this is my favorite camera. It is used there, and some refurbished, to replace it. I hope you can get it running again.

    I had this problem too, but it resolved now on the Apple store. They had seen previously on older hardware which has been updated for Sierra with FireVault market and occurs when the operating system is switching graphics modes. I got just my logic board replaced so wanted it is solved.

    We have attempted to extinguish FireVault, but the question was still there. Then they have successfully installed a new copy of a Mavericks and the problem was gone. Then they installed a new copy of Sierra and the question is still missing. Now, I have re-enabled FireVault and the issue has gone.

  • Cannot take a picture of screen shot now?

    Since the iOS 10 update, it seems that I can take is no longer an image of what is on my screen. I'm used to be able to do it by pressing the power button and then pressing the home button to make the catch. This is particularly useful in holding a long distance tour, enlarge the shot, and then take a picture of this zoomed image.

    Any other way to capture even a screenshot?

    Thank you

  • Cannot take a picture with the Camileo X 100?

    After connecting my Camileo X 100 with the RCA connector to my LCD from LG TV, browsing through my images and possibly disconnect the camera, something strange happened.

    After I turned on the camera and tried to take a picture, nothing happened. I can't take a picture, turn a video, zoom in and out, or set the image and video preferences and settings. I can only navigate through the pictures and videos I took before. It seems that my camera is stuck in the same mode, when it was connected to my TV.

    I removed the battery several times and nothing. The only button that responds is the play button, and trying to take a picture, only the square (white, green, or red) is shown. Please, help :(

    Thanks for your comments!

  • I use lightroom six. My problem is some of my photos have several purple lines across them and can find a way to get rid of the.  The camera I use is a fujifilm X100T.  I tried different software and the problem is not there.  so I Don t

    Some of my photos have a purple line which passes through.  I use Lightroom six, but had the same problem with the previous version.  I tried different software and do not have the same problem, so I don't think that the problem is with the camera.  The camera is a Fujifilm X100T.  Any idea?

    Purple lines on the photo almost always indicate that some piece of hardware caused a corruption of file. It could be any piece of equipment in the transmission of the record of the caard of the camera to the computer. One obvious thing you can try is to move the photos to the computer via a USB drive / different to different cards. If possible, you can try to copy the photos to a different computer and then import into Lightroom. Run diagnostics on your hard disc controls and the memory of the computer.

    Other software may display the file does not cuorruption, but it is usually display the preview JPG that is embedded in the RAW file, and this JPG preview is very often very well when the image RAW itself is corrupt. So the fact that else sofrtware shows not only the problem is irrelevant.

  • Cannot take a picture even if I have storage iCloud

    I bought storage additional iCloud for my phone but when even can't take a photo because 'there is not enough storage to take photo' even if I got 48.8 GB available storage iCloud!

    Do not forget that iCloud that photo library is designed to reflect your library on all your devices. In order to have a lot of storage iCloud does not mean that you don't need any (extra) storage space on your iPhone.

    You can however use the "Optimize iPhone storage" setting located under settings, iCloud, Photos, Photos & camera or settings. When this option is selected, most of the photos that are stored on your iPhone will be reduced versions, good enough for display on the screen of your iPhone. This may, or may not create enough free space on your iPhone to take new photos.

    The usual culprit is a monitor corrupt profile. As a temporary solution, switch the default monitor on sRGB profile in Control Panel. For a more permanent solution, you will need to re - calibrate your monitor.

  • Left edges of printed lines moving in and out of vertical alignment, goes to the bottom of the page.

    I downloaded an upgrade HP suggested and just after, had a paper jam.   I have authorized, but then got the error message: cartridge stuck.

    I couldn't find the cartridges in a first time (they were caught completely to the left), then the belt to see if I could make it appear.  Nothing helped, and... uh - oh - guess that I would not do.

    Finally, I spotted the cartridges, slipped to them where they were supposed to be, and the printer worked.  Except now, descending by the offset of the page become for two and some lines (first part crushed), indentation of about an eighth of an inch of horizontal lines.  Then, on a half inch below the page lines come back to correct the record.  Then they go again shifted, which cycling through all the way to the bottom of the page.

    How, please, can I restore the vertical alignment?

  • Inspiron 9400/E1705 - lines vertical and the seeds, and then black screen on startup of the computer

    I have an Inspiron 9400/E1705 with a nVidia Geforce Go 7900 GS. A few months as the computer started showing the seeds while I was game (textures does not, massive downturn, etc.) and then finally horizontal began to appear on the screen, from start-up. I was unable to get into Windows with the exception of Safe Mode. I thought that the problem was the graphics card, and some users on this forum have confirmed this suspicion. Although in May 2007, when I was still under warranty, I got the card replaced, I don't was more under warranty at the time so I started shopping around for a replacement.

    Before that I bought a replacement, however, the computer just stopped starting upwards. Previously, at least I could get Safe Mode and check my e-mail or Word process; now the screen stays empty (the LCD and an external monitor) and seems not even to try to start. The power and it occupied lights turn green, however, and remain like that until I turn off the power. I tried to boot with a RAM chip, thanks to the optical drive removed, with the hard drive, removed, and combinations of these, just to see if anything would change (anything).

    My question is if this can also be a symptom of the graphics card does not, or I have a bigger problem on my hands?

    Thank you.

    Edit: I forgot to mention that I ran the diagnosis before the white screen began to arrive, and only errors have been associated with the video.  I can't run any diagnostic now, though, to see if there are new mistakes, which is why I want to confirm a dead card can do that until I get a new.
