Andrew Law Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 I recently got a Beaulieu s2008. I haven’t got the new battery in the mail, but when I look through the viewfinder everything is black. When I press the switch on the top of the camera I can see the very bottom portion of the frame. Is this an easy fix? If not, are there any recommendations for a repair shop that works on Beaulieus?

Dom Jaeger Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Probably just the shutter stopped in front of the viewfinder. Once you power the camera it should move into viewing position. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bjorn Andersson Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 (edited) Beaulieu 2008S cameras shall ONLY have 4,8 V. To fit 7,2V or more in camera will only make problems. Be aware about this. To many have tried to use too high Voltage and get different problems. Edited May 12, 2021 by Bjorn Andersson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Law Posted May 12, 2021 Author Share Posted May 12, 2021 Bjorn, thank you for letting me know that. I have two original batteries that need to be recelled. I ordered a Lithium Ion battery kit off of ebay for the camera because I thought it would be easier. It was advertised to be used for the 2008, but the seller just got back to me and said it is 7.4V. Would you recommend to just recell the old batteries or change out the LI batteries in the kit I bought? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bjorn Andersson Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 You can't use the Li batteries with 7,4V in your 2008. Arrange with your original batteries and you will have a working camera, not a fried one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Thomas Faehrenkemper Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 (edited) Achten Sie darauf, dass die Kamera nur 4,8 V Batterien benötigt! Edited May 19, 2021 by Dr. Thomas Faehrenkemper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
