InstaX mini 8 won't take pictures and all orange lights are on

InstaX mini 8 won't take pictures and all orange lights are on Hi. I have the instax mini 8 Polaroid camera. I went to use it for the 4th time and all of a sudden it doesn't work. When turned on all the orange lights are on the dial not just one, there's a red light by the screen viewer and it won't take any pics. How do I fix this? I emailed Fuji film and they didn't answer

So my film cartridge was stuck and I has to use a knife to push it out by the edges. You're going to need to force it out and wiggle it. Once the cartridge is out, the black sheet is going to be kinda hanging out so I just pulled it out because it was the source of the problem. Be sure to place the cartridge back in its slot AS SOON AS POSSIBLE !! Next I replaced the batteries and TA-DA !! The camera is fixed !! Though the first picture was a Dud, the next came out just fine ! I hope this helps !

Hi! The films got stuck one day a several times and I tried to pull it out, but it didn't come out. After a few tries, my friends and I managed to pull it out. But that's not the problem anymore. The problem is that the orange lights are blinking, but the red light isn't... What should I do?

Changing the batteries worked for me.

Mine did the same thing… I checked my batteries and they were put in incorrectly. It did work before this but idk. I changed the batteries, (looking at the positive and negative signs on the Polaroid) and it worked perfectly….
