3 Beeps on your Norcent X1A5 Camera Solution

Posted by Scotsman on March 4, 2009 in Geek Stuff |

I bought my son a Norcent X1A5 Digital Camera a few months back.  In January, it wouldn’t work.  The lens was open a bit, and when I turned the power on it would give me three beeps, the light would come on, then the camera would turn back off.  I googled around for a solution, however all I saw were people with the same troubleshooting issue.

I wasn’t able to return it to the store, and Norcent have went bankrupt, so I was unable to get it repaired under the manufacturer warranty.  However I recently discovered what the problem was and how to fix it.

Basically – the lens is jammed.  It’s because of the piece that goes around the lens glass which states what type of lens it is etc.  It’s a little bit too big, and jams it.  So what i did was take it off – this was very easy, I put pliers around the base, yanked at it a few times and boom, the plastic piece comes off, and it is now working again.

So if you’re having the same problem try that, and it should fix it.  Here’s a picture of what it looks like after the fact:

I think I am going insane.

I really do.  This past week especially, work wise, has just been crazy and very frustrating.  I thought March was going to be the “take it easy” month but I am doing anything but that.  E-mails keep coming in, items keep getting added to my to do list, stuff with Cellsino poker bunch of issues with bonuses, rakeback etc(growing pains for new poker room/network), lots of coding changes etc to Rakeback Resource, trying to add more stuff to it etc bla bla, and a zillion other things.

I just seem to be all over the fucking place right now.  Really I just to relax, work out, watch The Shield and play video games this month, doing minimal work.  I really need it considering how crazy I have worked the last – god – the last many many years.  Yet here I am past midnight, working away looking at my to do list etc and just stressing.

I’m going to work 6am-5pm every day Wednesday to Friday.  I think if I manage to do that, I can really get my important items to do list completely done.  Then I can relax on the weekend, just handle e-mail etc, and set up a nice more relaxed schedule beginning next week.

In theory anyway that sounds good.  Whether it will work out or not is another thing entirely.

UGH.
