I recently received an x530 from a neighbor, and it didnt work
I recently received an x530 from a neighbor who was moving out, he showed it to me, and it was working perfectly fine. i get it home, plug it in, and let it charge for a while, and it wont do anything. the green light comes on, flashes, the lens moves a little, then the green light shuts off. i decided to plug it into my lappy to see what would happen, and this time when i turn it on, it says polaroid, then goes black, buttons are unresponsive. then i turn it off, and it says goodbye. what could be the problem thats causing it to not work correctly?

I had the same problem with my camera it came on, it clicked, it said goodbye and that was it. what i did and it has worked since is apply gentle pressure to the lens and it's parameters. it took a few times of doing this between attempts at getting it to stay on, but it worked great. i do not remember, but i may also have applied scant pressure to the lens while powering it on.
You say that the lens moves a little, this is the case when required power is not sufficient,.
Remove the battery, clean the battery connecting terminals, recharge the battery and try it.
