    This worked for me. It was scary, but got all the stuff inside in the right place.

    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!!!! 🥹

    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!

    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!!!

    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 😂

  • @o0sakitin0o
    @o0sakitin0o 4 года назад +6

    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.

    Still not working... it's making strange loud noises... I don't know what happened

  • @MadelieMartinez
    @MadelieMartinez 3 года назад

    Edit: IMPORTANT, when you take out the film and put it back in to test if it still takes photos, the FIRST photo will come out blank. But the REST of them (depending on how many you had left in the film pack inside) DO COME OUT. I wasted 4 photos that I took at the wall just to not throw out the film packet as it was.
    That is what happened for mine when I fixed it using the demonstration of this video, can't say it will be the same for everyone else in terms of the film.
    YOU are a hero without a cape. It worked for me, THANK YOU!!!!!!

    I have the Instax sq6 square camera. I was out taking pictures of a waterfall and tripped on a stomp while walking to another spot to get another angle and hit my camera on the ground. It looked like the lense was crooked and the lights in the back were blinking and the lense would not do it to close up when I turned the camera off. I was devastated as this was just a Christmas gift this year and 2 days after getting it, it seemed to be ruined. I came online and found this video and fixed the problem. All I had to do was take the film out and go into where the lenses was crooked and pushed on the side that looked like it was not even and wahla it popped into place and it was fixed. Thank you so much for your help!!

      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!

    IT WORKED FOR ME TOO!!!! I didn’t get the error code in the video. My camera just wouldn’t turn on at all. So I went to a dark room, removed the film and put it in a bag, then I went out of the room and I opened the camera.
    I didn’t have anything wrong with my grooves like in the video. So I just moved the grooves around gently, up and down to open and close the lens.
    Then I put back the batteries to try it AND IT WORKED!!!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!
    p.s. the numbers are counting down a little oddly now (it’s supposed to show 8 but it shows 9) so I’ll probably try to move the grooves gently again but it takes pictures perfectly so that’s all I care about.
    Hope this comment helps someone else!!!

    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

    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.

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.

    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.
