Hello daver307 - Welcome to the Sony Forums

It sounds like there is an internal fault within the camera itself - how long have you had your DSC W170? I ask this question as it will affect the warranty.

Thanks,

Simon

Hi, I am getting exactly the same problem and it's nothing to do with the batteries. I have used many different types of 1.2v rechargeables but this keeps happening.

Mines was bought in early 2006 but has had hardly any use and started around the 2 year mark.

any help would be useful as I'm holidaying this summer and don't really want to buy another camera.

Thanks folks

Hello rocker55 - Welcome to the Sony Forums

It sounds like your camera also has an internal fault within it and a repair may be required. If you have already tried to reset the camera and have tried various batteries, you will be able to find out the process to get a repair and also the cost by getting in touch with Sony Customer Services using the details in this forum thread:
