@Krysthea Casupanan I don't know if it will help you but I had the same problem and while watching this video I realised that I put the batteries the wrong way........ Just check it, probs will help, but maybe it's just me who's too stupid to own one of these 😂
@@polinapower6538 wow now I feel really dumb lol. When I put them the right way I had the same problem as its shown in the video, so I did it as her and my instax is working again xd Also only the first picture didn't develop, but others were OK🤗
I THOUGHT MINE WAS DEAD. So I bought another new one, threw in some fully charged rechargeable Energizer batteries, DEAD. I didn't want to use the batteries that came with it, in case I had to return it. Tried some troubleshooting, and noticed the battery slot says "LR-6 **1.5V x 4*" Looked at the rechargeables I was using, TURNS OUT THEY'RE *1.2V*. Put in some fresh new batteries, IT TURNED ON. I did the same with the first one, BACK FROM THE DEAD* 😲 Worked for me, hope it works for you!
Wow, this was a lifesaver. An additional note on the film, though! I didn’t experience a total loss of the film stack. Only the frame that was already loaded was completely exposed (all white). The next one had a cool light leak effect, but by the third frame, it was more or less normally exposed. So no need to throw the whole stack away!
This was no help for me because mine doesn't even turn on, no noises no lights or anything. Yes I have put the batteries in correctly and tried different batteries, I am 59 year old former electrical engineer and I know how to put batteries in things. Cheap product.
Has anyone had this problem with the toffee version? I can't find the thing that she moved to match the other one. I don't know if they have different mechanisms
thank you, honestly can't believe they released something with such a dinky and annoying problem -.- mine is only like 7 months old and stopped working
Wow thank you for video you saved my camera!! The lens wasn't so off like in vid but I pushed it out then in and aligned it in middle and boom camera works again!! Before the fix camera was completely dead like without batteries, no noise no light, tried new batteries but not helped. Thanks again 😊
I have had this happen to me before but on a good note when I travel I just take the batteries out or just one battery out so it doesn't accidentally turn on because if it turns on in a bag the lens can't come out which derails the system
So ours was off track and my BF was able to get it back on. Noise is still happening tho. The lens is still not moving at all when turning on. Can someone tell me what direction their lens spins? Mine will continuously spin to the left manually but if I try to go right at all the main mechanism seems to catch. So if the lens is suppose to go to the right I'll know more of what's wrong. Then I can hopefully figure out how to fix it. Thank u
Mine has the same issue, got it back in the grooves it makes a noise but still gives the same error n lens wouldn move , if u were able to get it fixed somehow , can you pl guide me on it..regards
I RARELY RARELY make a comment. Like RARELY!!!!!! But OMG THANK YOU!!!!! I fixed my camera with just seeing this. Thank you so much I cried because I thought I was going to have to buy a new one. Thank you ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
hi hello! i have had this camera for about 3 years now, but the last time it worked was in april 2021. it does not want to turn on at all, it doesn’t even make the little sound when trying to turn it on, nor does it say anything on the screen thingy. i have tried changing the batteries, but thats not the case either. i study photography, but i really need help with this couse i think that i can bring this camera back to life. thanks :)
Thanks! This helped! Also notice if you had any shots left, do not throw away the cartridge. When you take it out only the first film gets ruined due to light exposure.The remaining film is covered and safe from light. Tho when you re-insert the cartridge, take a picture as if you just inserted a new one and keep in mind that the counter resets back to 10 so you can’t really tell how many shots are left.
This happened to me, too. I copied your suggestion, but I'm not sure if I've fixed it. I haven't got film in there, so nothing happens when I turn it on except for the "checking for film" noise. I'll get some and test it. What a piece of junk if this is happening so regularly to people. That is going to be an expensive issue if it happens while there is film in there.
Thank you so much for posting this video. My daughter’s camera has not been working for months and I was debating whether to send to repair or just buy another one. I just found her camera this morning and did a google search and I found this video. I was skeptical and figured I had a 50/50 chance to fix this camera. Her camera had the exact same problem and I did what you did and I fixed the camera! My daughter leaves for her Junior year of college tomorrow and when I showed her the video of her camera working - she was ecstatic!!!! This camera was a gift for her 18th birthday and is still her favorite gift. Thank you so much for posting this video. You saved us money and I look cool AF for fixing it 😂
READ IT IF YOUR INSTAX WIDE 300 IS NOT WORKING!!! I have got mine a week ago and it did not work,it was not even turning on and had no sign of life. And the reason: in my country we put batteries minus to plus and plus to minus in everything, in tv remote and ect. And then my mum told me that there were signs on camera that one of them should were minus to minus and plus to plus and it worked! Try it.
Mine is inside the groove but the lens does not come out. I even used W-40. Best thing in the world but it does not move. Because I can hear a cranky noise.
You can take out the film in a dark room and keep it there or even put it in a really dark bag until you fix the camera, so you won't lose the film, because films could be really expensive :D
Not gonna lie, I was scared out of my mind trying this out. Specially since mine got stuck when the lens was expanded, which required a different process. But thank you so much! You saved lives here!!!
Thanks for sharing this amazing process of your repair, my wife is gonna be so relief. We just noticed that our camera wasn’t working and we were so sad. You save us!! 🎉
My camera is having an issue where it has no problem turning on and off but no other functionality works. I cant take pictures, I cant adjust the exposure or flash, the LED screen is blank with a line going through it. Ive tried replacing the batteries but I'm still suffering the same issue. The lens is completely fine and it hasn't been dropped. Apparently it was "tested" when i purchased it yet it hasnt worked since i got it. Ive contacted Fujifilm to see if theres anything i can do to fix it otherwise im just gonna have to send it in.
This worked exactly as you showed!!! The trick is definitely trying to move the pieces on the side to meet the prongs and not trying to move the prongs themselves. It’s like you have to move the two sides, in unison, in opposite directions, for it to work. I was devastated when my camera gave me the initial error message on vacation a few weeks ago but wanted to for sure have it working by my daughters first day of school tomorrow. We have taken a picture with my Instax Wide every ‘first day’ for the past several years and I’m so happy we can continue the tradition tomorrow. This video was a game changer. Thanks again for sharing. You made my night!!!! 🥹
Hi My instax wide 300 is not working. I cant fix it. Just take one’s leave off from camera inside. Idunno. But is Not broken. Please, can you look my camera’s inside?
Omg!!!!!!!! IT WORK!!!!!!! IAM SOOOO SOOOO HAPPY THANK U SO MUCH!!!!! I WAS REALLY SAD, MY INSTAX WAS ABOUT WEEK OLD AND I WAS SOOO SAD, THAT IT STOP WORKING. NOW I WATCH YOUR VIDEO AND IT WORK AGAIN IM SOOOO HAPPY!!!!!
I have read that changing out the film in a dark room wouldn't expose the films. I have yet to try it, but some people use this method to switch out the various mini instax films with designs in between photos.
It’s helped me so much my father was so stressed out to Because the place that we took it to get exchanged tore out my film and ripped it apart and they wouldn’t replace it thank you for helping me fix it
KurioussLifeofB GOD, thank you sooo much with helping. Mine camera wasn’t working exactly the same as yours. I even thought of buying new camera, but with your help, my camera is alive!
Wow, this is exactly what was wrong with my camera, my first film was over exposed but the rest of the pack was still good and developed correctly. Thanks!
Unfortunately, I'm not sure what else could possibly be wrong with yours. It happened to me twice and I was able to fix them using the same method. It worked fine both times.
i wish this had helped me but it seems my camera doesn’t even have the little side pieces that you lock the points into. i don’t understand why mine is different :/
Aghahh! The film! When I’m repairing mine I that’s the film out at night under the doona (as long as I keep the lights off) it Always works when I put it back in.
Omgggggg you just saved my camera!!!!!!!! I have been using my instal wide 210 for years and it’s amazing to see it back on working on again 😢😢😢😢 THANK YOU SO MUCH.
Had almost the same problem but my lens was stuck out, gently pushed it back in while off and then did exactly what you did in your video realigning the pins and it works perfectly!! Thank you for the video!!
So thats good!! Glad it worked! But about the film! it would have worked if u removed it while having it in a real dark place! leave the film there and just put it back without letting any light in!

@@BLikeWater7 So the batteries were the only issue? Because I don't want to buy a new one if not needed lol
Still not working... it's making strange loud noises... I don't know what happened
Screw all those cat videos. This is what youtube was made for!
This worked for me. It was scary, but got all the stuff inside in the right place.
Did this but still doesn’t open. Just makes a sound that lasts about 5 seconds and the “E” and flash signals blink. Any other suggestions?
Same problem here :-(

What happens if your camera is like sticking out with the same problem(
Yesssss just fixed my poloroid using this method! Xx
PERFECT!

It’s really easy not to destroy your film - just open it under the blanket, and put it back under the blanket as well 👌🏻
you are help me so much you are fantastic!!!!
No existen agradecimientos suficientes para este video. Si te pasas por Madrid algún día te invito a comer. MIL GRACIAS!
Thank you.
It was helpful~~~
This worked perfectly for me. Thanks a ton!
Mine is inside the groove but the lens does not come out. I even used W-40. Best thing in the world but it does not move. Because I can hear a cranky noise.
Did u figure out how to fix it? Mine does this same thing
Mine does the same. Might just buy a new one
hey thanks for this it helped me fix my camera but i flashbanged myself testing it and went blind for 10 seconds, but it works thanks!

Funcionó para mí :)
Really really really thank you ! I'M SO GRATEFULL you are a genius 💛
Can I ask if it will work in Mini 90 Neo?
Did you try it? I have the same problem with mine. But I don't find the same parts
This worked exactly as you showed!!! The trick is definitely trying to move the pieces on the side to meet the prongs and not trying to move the prongs themselves. It’s like you have to move the two sides, in unison, in opposite directions, for it to work.

YOU JUST SAVED ME 80 DOLLARS OF MORE! THANKS SO MUCH!!!!!!
AWW, that's awesome! You are very welcome. :)

THANK YOU! This helped us!
Yay!!!! Thank you, you saved me. It would be easier if you start from pushing it down lol

Awwww, I'm sorry to hear that! I'm glad I could help. :)
KurioussLifeofB GOD, thank you sooo much with helping. Mine camera wasn’t working exactly the same as yours. I even thought of buying new camera, but with your help, my camera is alive!
Super helpful! We were about to return our camera because of this problem, but now we don't have to :-)
This was my exact problem. Thanks!! ...and only one photo was wasted. The rest of the pack was fine.
no lie this actually worked. i had to push the lense out i guess it was jammed hehe
You saved my whole lifeeeeeeeee. It really worked. Thanks so much!
Wow, this is exactly what was wrong with my camera, my first film was over exposed but the rest of the pack was still good and developed correctly. Thanks!
hi i just used your method and it is already in place , but my polaroid still shows the E sign. do you know if there is anything wrong?
Mine is too :( let me know if you found a way to fix yours!!!
Unfortunately, I'm not sure what else could possibly be wrong with yours. It happened to me twice and I was able to fix them using the same method. It worked fine both times.
i wish this had helped me but it seems my camera doesn’t even have the little side pieces that you lock the points into. i don’t understand why mine is different :/
This method of pushing the lens out also works for the 500af
hey can you do sq6? bcs mine is wildly blinking and the camera is open but when push it suddenly blinking
It did not fully work for me. Got the pin in the rails but it still won't open. I'm puzzled.

Does it work with sq6?
So many thanks to you. Great tuto ! you saved my camera.
This worked for me!! Thank you!!!!
This helped me and saved me from the long wait of searching for a technician or a Fujifilm customer service. Deep thanks from Chile! :)
Omgggggg you just saved my camera!!!!!!!! I have been using my instal wide 210 for years and it’s amazing to see it back on working on again 😢😢😢😢 THANK YOU SO MUCH.
I am having a similar issue with my 90 Neo Classic. any suggestions?
Same here
THAT ENERGY1!1!1! there you go gurl
Had almost the same problem but my lens was stuck out, gently pushed it back in while off and then did exactly what you did in your video realigning the pins and it works perfectly!! Thank you for the video!!
Do you need film in the camera before it will turn on?
This worked!! Thank you for sharing!
Yassss thank you I fixed mine twice because of this video!
I’m scared to push it
AHHH GUUURL YOU ARE A GEM!! YOU MADE IT WORK!!
Mine is completely off track and i cant click it in
So thats good!! Glad it worked! But about the film! it would have worked if u removed it while having it in a real dark place! leave the film there and just put it back without letting any light in!
not alls the film is wasted only the first sheet....
Tried this, and it didn’t work for me :(
Omg this saved me 150 bucks
Wow I was about to buy a new one for my trip thank god I found this video . Thank you xoxo
You saved me some $$ girl. Good job
It works !!! And you don’t have to throw the whole film , just the first one ! Thank you so much for this video
