Polaroid One-Step 600: Displaced spring in film release button?

Tue, 28 Jan 2014 10:08:12 -0700

A spring fell out from the left side of the film cartidge loading bay and I can figure out where it goes. It is a large u-shaped with a hook at each end. I am surmising it works to activate the release button to load film. If I had a schematic or exploded view of the camera, it might help to relocate it. Any suggestions?

Polaroid Camera: Why are my Polaroid photos not developing?

Fri, 03 Feb 2017 13:14:22 -0700

Hello, I just got a Polaroid Pro Cam for my 18th birthday, I really love it but I've been having problems with the print outs?! The picture itself only half develops and the colours don't come through! The colours are just cream and there is no image! I don't know if it is the camera or film or if it's anything I'm doing wrong, but If anyone could help I would really appreciate it :)

Polaroid Cube: Polaroid cube battery type. Anyone knows it?

Mon, 01 Sep 2025 07:19:14 -0700

My Polaroid cube's battery is almost dead. The camera only works for a few short minutes before it beeps and turns off. I was thinking replacing the battery might revive the camera, but I couldn't find its exact type. Does anyone know what kind of batteries are used in these Polaroid cube cameras?

Thanks!

Well, it looks to me that no one seems to make these small batteries.

Polaroid i835: Corrosion in the Battery Port and Lid

Mon, 23 Mar 2026 16:00:11 -0700

Hello!

I found an old Polaroid i835 that I'm trying to fix up for an upcoming outing. Everything looks good upon inspection, until I looked inside the battery port.

It seems the old batteries inside it hadn't been taken out and so it corroded the metal bit on the lid and the end deep inside the camera.

As of now, I'm trying to clean most if not all of it off, but I'm wondering if there's a way to replace the metallic bits / battery port or is it better to replace the entire camera altogether?

Polaroid Camera: Does anyone have a teardown/service manual for a Polaroid 1500/Pronto?

Sat, 05 Apr 2025 09:23:00 -0700

I have a Polaroid 1500 (similar to a Pronto! I think) tried to take it apart to clean the viewfinder as some dust managed to get in, but it came apart at the wrong place and now the front shutter mechanism area is in pieces and I have no idea how to reassemble them.

I can't find ANY information online about the 1500 or the Pronto, and I'm at my wits end. If you have any information (teardown instructions, videos, photos, service manuals, technical documentation, literally anything), PLEASE help.

Polaroid OneStep 2: film won't eject after taking a picture

Thu, 01 Jul 2021 06:03:07 -0700

My camera is fully charged but won’t eject film once I try to take a picture. Now when I turn it on, not all 8 lights are on even though they all should be since it’s fully loaded with a new pack. Instead, from left to right only the 1st, 3rd, 6th, and 8th light is lit. What is going on?

Polaroid OneStep 2: Camera will not charge

Hello,

I recently acquired a one step 2 that I found at a thrift store for 3 bucks. But I knew it was too good to be true when it would not charge. Is there a specific charger I need for this. I tried a standard micro usb but it seems to not be working. I don’t get any indication it’s charging or working.

Polaroid Camera: Polaroid 635 ejects every photo in film

Fri, 17 Nov 2017 06:20:17 -0700

Hello

I've got a Polaroid 635 CL Camera. I have got fresh new films, now the issue. In the moment I insert a new cartridge, the black paper is ejected, but the camera does not stop here, it keeps making photos, sometimes even using the flash. Even when all the pictures are ejected, the camera still tries to do more photos. I can not stop it at all by pressing something, the only thing that works is to remove the battery.

Did someone experience something like this before?

Thank you in advance

Polaroid SNAP: Why do my pictures have lines on it?

Tue, 15 Mar 2016 19:38:13 -0700

I just got my Polaroid snap and it works great! Though, I guess I should have been more careful with it when I let a friend use it and he dropped in on my carpet floor. I'm not sure if this caused the problem but now, whenever I take a picture, when it prints out it has this pattern of lines on it. I tried charging the camera, cleaning the lens, or even adjusting the lighting of the room but the lines are still present. I just got this camera so I am not sure on how to fix this issue!
