How to fix my Canon - Ivy CLIQ+2 Instant Film Camera

[Elchoi]

Hi there 

I have a Canon - Ivy CLIQ+2 Instant Film Camera.

It has been "broken" for years, and ever since I've found it, I want to know how to fix it. Usually, it flashes red, green, or rainbow when it's dead, fully charged, or when I'm turning it on.

The color it only flashes now is blue, I did press the restart button since I was told to in a video. After that, my camera only flashes blue and it seems to be broken. 

PLEASE help me! This camera was gifted by my dad and I'm unable to use it due to being broken.

Hello, Elchoi.

Sorry for the late response (I just bought this camera a few days ago). According to the manual, the flashing blue light indicates a blue sheet problem. Maybe you didn't leave the blue sheet that came with the ZInk paper in position or you used one from another pack, as they are pack specific.
