My Olympus Stylus tough 6000 will not turn on when in any picture or movie taking mode, however, it will turn on in the picture review mode so that I can browse through the pictures I have already taken, which also indicates that the battery is fully charged??? Any idea what the problem might be??
My wife's 6000 tough sat in a box for two years following her deployment to Iraq. Completely dead and unresponsive. Bought and charged a new battery... No improvement. While trying to get the photos Off the sd card, plugged the USB cable in the phone and the computer... Nothing. Out of frustration, pulled the battery and put it back in while USB was connected. The camera came back to life. Been working for the past two hours, all modes, all functions. Seems totally dead Toughs need a bit of a jump start. Hope this helps someone else.
I am also having this same problem. Screen freezes on start up showing only the screen saver for whatever mode the camera is in, or screen saver does not come up at all and screen remains grey. I have tried both xD and micro SD card with same results for both. Camera worked fine prior to last downloading pictures on laptop, and problem has existed since.
Same thing happens to me. It just beeps and shows my screensaver when in the other modes. Review mode is fine.Same thing happens to me. It just beeps and shows my screensaver when in the other modes. Review mode is fine.
