Why doesn’t film counter work

It stays at “S” and the piece of the plastic that presses the button is still there

The plastic is still attached to the back but still isint counting, does it mean i broke it? How do i fix it?

open the compartment for the film… you will see that in the middle of the right there is a small silver piece of metal…. if you press it in, the numbers will count, if you do NOT, it will return to “S” So now look at the door is the piece of plastic that presses that button still there, did it chip off?

My Polaroid has 3 film left and it wasn’t taking pictures so I took out the film then it turn to s

My counter wet from 6 to “s”. Help me please.

That does’nt mean that your camera is broke it just simply means you need to replace the film.

No matter what I do, the counter stays at S. I even poked the plastic piece and the counter didn’t move. Maybe it’s jammed? But why?

This is just a guess since i have the same problem with my brand new camera, im guessing that if youre camera is new its still not going to work completly espescially if its the very first film pack you put in it

I know this is a little late to help anybody but I had the exact same issue. I ended up putting in brand new batteries and it worked for me. The new blank black sheet came through and my new film was good to go.

Hey can anyone help me . I just got my instax minni 9 and the black plastic is suppose to come out first but mine had gotten stuck and my lights started to flash . I added new batteries and i took out the black plastic thing from the film and still wont work? What do i do can it be fixed ?

I have an issue where the counter goes down too fast to tge point where it could be on 0 and I still have film in my camera. (As I can still take a few pictures). I’m guessing the counter is going down 2 at a time.

Hi all having the same problem with my mini 8, only i bought mine second hand, was showing working etc, I get my hands on it and can’t get it working. I tried it when I first had it, and a blank film came out.. So I Bought a new one, put that in and I’m getting the same, red light stays on, with S in the counter. I checked all above and everything is in tact.. Now what lol
