We had the same problem with my sister's i832. After searching all over, I finally contacted Polaroid directly. For $20, they sent me a brand new battery cover to replace myself. It came with pretty clear instructions, and it was very easy to replace. The price definitely seemed a bit excessive, being a tiny piece of plastic and all. But it was worth it, as opposed to trashing a pretty nice camera.
Now if only we can figure out how to get the flash fixed, since it no longer wants to work anymore.....
Yes u buy new one and fix the repair center...............The battery door on mine broke in half! Will not close anymore. I contacted every repair company and they all said I had to contact Polaroid. I did, and they said they no longer make the model, so they don't have any spare parts in their warehouse. They said if I have my receipt (after 2 years) they might be able to do a used camera exchange. Now I'm worried that if I am able to find it, they will give me one that is in worse shape than mine Argh!
