On a Polaroid, what does a red light mean? The red light indicates that the battery is low. Only use new, fresh, top quality alkaline batteries when replacing them. Regular flashlight batteries are insufficient.
Why is my Polaroid flashing red and not taking pictures?
Paper Jam. If you have taken a photo and the light is flashing red, you may have a paper jam. Possible reasons why there is a jam could be: more than ten sheets of paper, bent paper, and backwards paper.
How do I know if my Polaroid is broken?

Why are the lights on my Instax flashing?
The orange lights flashing on the front of your mini 11 or mini 9 is your cameras way of telling you it is ready for a battery change! We recommend using alkaline batteries and changing them whilst your camera is in the on position.
Why is my Polaroid flash not working?
The camera won’t produce an image if the flash is not completely charged. If the red light on the viewfinder is off and it is still not producing a flash then it is likely that the battery that is inside the film pack is dead. In this case you will need to replace the film pack.
What can I do with ruined Polaroid pictures?
It’s perfectly safe if adhesive foil instead of scotch tape is used for the whole thing. I had a couple of faded Polaroids, and because they were so old, the chemicals were completely dried out. I simply filled it with acrylic paint and a little bit of confetti.
