As you may or may not know, vintage Polaroid cameras do not have batteries. Rather, the film cartridge itself has a tiny battery that has just enough juice to power the camera for ten shots. So if you stick in a pack of film and nothing happens, chances are the battery in the pack is dead, not the camera itself.
What kind of battery does a Polaroid need?
The mini 8 uses two AA batteries, whereas the mini 25 and mini 70 use CR2 batteries, and the mini 90 uses a rechargeable lithium-ion battery.

Why is my Polaroid not developing?
If the film is developing blank, we recommend that you check to make sure the shutter is functioning properly and the light/five-mode dial is set to proper lighting. If the photo turns out all black, or some photos turn out all black and others turn out just fine, then your camera has a defective shutter.
