Really sorry I'm unable to help you.I have sold tons and tons of cameras over the years.Knowing all the details of each camera I have sold is slightly difficult.kind regards
is the coin shaped battery replaceable? ive put new batteries on mine, but it still shows the 'change batteries' error. i asked, the original owners havent changed the coin battery part since 09, so i was thinking if i changed that one it might stop showing the error. was worried its some irreplaceable part and if i changed it, itd blow up, haha. love from the philippines xx
Hi there the flat battery is the date battery.Have you tried rechargeable batteries does it still show an error.did you buy the camera off the other people? Did they say it was fully working.where did you get the camera.
@@JAKEJIM12 the batteries i tried were rechargeable! got it from a friend's family who didnt want it anymore. they said nothing was wrong with it until they tried opening it and it was just the battery error.
if a low battery symbol appears with multiple sets of fresh batteries, this may be an indication of the camera malfunctioning. Based on the information you have provided i would recommend sending the camera in to factory service for evaluation by a service technician.”
Methods to fix the 'Camera can't read its Memory Card' error. Method 1: Inspect if its Memory Card or Card Slot Check whether your memory card or your camera's SD card slot is faulty. Insert the memory card in other devices or connect it to your computer to see if your card is detected or not. If your SD card is not detected, there may be an issue with your camera's SD card slot, or it is due to an incompatible file system. Method 2: Reinsert SD Card & Reboot Camera Remove and reinsert the memory card to see if the “camera can’t read its memory card” error still persists. Often, rebooting the camera also helps in fixing minor issues like these. Method 3: Check the Memory Card Compatibility Ensure your memory card is compatible with the camera's model. For this, you can refer to the user manual or the official website of the camera brand. For example, the Nikon DSLR series only support XQD and CFexpress type memory cards. Whereas, a Canon camera supports various types of memory cards, including CF, SDHC, SDXC and others. If your card is compatible with the camera but still unreadable, try to use a different memory card to rule out the possibility of a faulty or damaged SD card. Method 4: Format the Memory Card Often, file system errors can also make your memory card unrecognizable by the camera. Moreover, if your card is corrupted, your camera can't read its memory card. Try formatting the card to resolve the file system or corruption issue in the memory card. Try formatting the card to resolve the file system or corruption issue in the memory card. However, formatting will erase all the data stored on your card, so keep a backup beforehand. You can format your card either on the camera itself or by using the computer. To know more, read - How to format SD cards on different devices? Method 5: Check the Lock tab and How Card is Inserted Often 'camera won't read SD card' error arises when inserted the wrong way in the camera card slot. You need to insert the memory card correctly inside the camera slot to make your device recognize it. However, the direction to insert the SD card in the camera depends on the card type. For example, it can be a microSD card or an XQD, CF or CFExpess card. Also check the Lock switch of your memory card. This switch protects anything from being deleted or written from the memory card. You need to ensure that the switch is unlocked; if not, remove the memory card and unlock it first. Method 6: Clean the Card Slot With time, lots of dirt, debris, or dust can accumulate in the terminal of your camera's memory card slot, making it difficult for your camera to read the memory card. In such a scenario, you need to power off your camera first and then clean the card slot with a soft brush or a compressed air can. Once cleaned, reinsert your memory card, and see if your camera can read it. Method 7: Update the Camera Firmware Outdated camera firmware can also cause compatibility issues with memory cards. You need to check for any available firmware updates for your camera by visiting the manufacturer's website. Once you have updated the firmware, restart your camera and check whether the card is readable. Method 8: Perform CHKDSK Scan CHKDSK scan can check any errors related to your camera memory card and fix it. Moreover, it is an efficient way to repair corrupted or damaged SD cards. Here’s how to run the CHKDSK Scan: Connect your camera’s memory card with your computer using USB cable. Type CMD in the Windows search and click Open to launch Command Prompt. Type chkdsk X: /r /f and press Enter. (Here X is the affected SD card.) Hope I have managed to answer your questions please leave a like or subscribe Kind regards

Are the batteries touching the contact's sometimes these need bending carefully to make better contact with the batteries?
If you want to change the date battery it would not do any harm.

my canon powershot A530 keeps showing the low battery icon even though the AA battery is fully charged, how do I solve this?
If it really where draining them that quick, the batteries would be unbelievably hot. It must be something wrong with it's percentage detector.
