Zire72s Camera Won't work

[Joey G]

Just got this the other day worked O.K. initially.When I tried to view photo's I took, it said they were corrupted or too large,so I deleted them.
Now camera icon is there but no camera.
The install CD is useless.Is there a fix?
Is there a place to find a D/L to reinstall the camera software?

Joey :(

The best 'fix' is to get a Treo 650/Centro.That solution is cheaper than a repairand retains Palm type usage

I got it as a gift from someone who had upgraded.I have another Palm.I only use it for the great Pocket TV Manager. Phones with "apps" I don't need. I am a senior citizen just trying to get the gift working again.
Thanks for your reply.

Have you tried performing a hard reset?

A hard reset restores the device to factory settings but deletes all the data on your device so be sure you have performed a back up of the data first.

Here are the steps taken from the Zire 72 manual to perform a hard reset:

Doing a hard reset

Only do a hard reset if a soft reset doesn’t solve your problem, or if you want to clear all of your
information from your handheld.

A hard reset deletes all records and entries stored on your handheld, including
the username that identifies the handheld.

Before you do a hard reset, be sure to synchronize.

1 Press and hold the power button.
2 While holding the power button, use the tip of the stylus (or a similar object
without a sharp tip) to gently press and release the reset button inside the hole
on the back of your handheld.
3 Wait for the Palm Powered™ logo to appear, then release the power button.
4 When you see the message that warns you about erasing all of the info on your
handheld, do one of the following:
• Press Up on the navigator to finish the reset and show the Digitizer screen.
• Press any other button to do a soft reset.

Here is a link to (http://www.palm.com/us/support/handbooks/zire72/Zire72_UG_ENG.pdf) the Zire 72 manual in case you don't already have it.

Good luck!

I could mail you a palm z71 that also has a camera.
