So I have my instax in 2013. And I forgot to change the batteries so it kinda melt but I clean it and battery socket all fine and no rust and so whatever. So I placed new battery and it works well. After I know it works well, I took out the batteries. So today 16 Sept 2017, I try to switch on again, but light won’t appear, and it doesn’t produce sounds anymore. I put brand new alkaline battery. However I noticed, my instax feel hot at right top corner. So I took the battery out and the hot cool down. Can you help me fix my instax please . Thank you.
Hi @izzajuhari, to check more on this, you need to dismantle the camera to the internals. here now, you need some skills to check, else if you are not confident, you can ask your electronics friends to assist you. take caution of the film capacitor as it can contain some charge… do discharge them before any repair attempts. with the battery on, try to identify which electronic components heat up…. would be great if you have a infrared thermometer to check on this, else by left sometimes i check with my fingers, but note, it can be very hot and cause burn.
