Not quite sure what you mean by "open," but you can find the manual for this camera at: Product Support

First, remove all visible screws. Then use a magnifier to closely examine the hot shoe. You will see that there is a spring clip which can be slid rearward and removed. Under this clip are 4 screws. Remove these and the rear cover is free.

On top of the monitor is the monitor / viewfinder button. Little right from the centre, you can press that one to switch between picture in the viewfinder or on the monitor.It also can be your batteries are old and can't be charged to the required charge. Or even when one is not ok, the camera can't work as it should. Try new batteries. And Olympus wants you to use only NiMH batteries. Alkeline batteries may have a much shorter service time. AA manganese batteries are not allowed in the camera and NiCD won't work at all.When using new batteries, don't forget to charge them before use. As a last option, it could be something is defect in your camera. (I hope not) When something is broke in your camera, or something is blocking, the current could become to high and damage the camera. Or if a gear is defect, it could cause extra damage in the camera. In all that kind of occasions the camera could play safe and not switch on to full operation.If nothing will bring back the light on your monitor, the only thing to do is contact your dealer, and if repair should be to expensive, start saving for a new one. Sorry.

What do you mean with I want to film on the memory card?The camera only can make stills. Make sure the card is inserted correct and not write protected.

My Olympus SP-570uz also has a broken flash spring. I found that small a coil spring approximately 3/16" max diameter and approximately 7/8" to 1" long can be inserted in the flash cavity when it is open - place on the right side (looking at the front of the camera) in the area that does not interfere with the small latch that locks the flash in the down position. The coil spring will need to compress enough to allow the flash to close completely.

No. This camera works with xD Picture Cards up to 2GB in size.

Press cursor-down (marked with a one-handed clock) and then select the desired self-timer delay. Start the self-timer by pressing the shutter release button as usual. Full details are in the "Self-timer shooting" section of the manual (page 28 in my copy). If you need a manual, you may download a copy here.If you're asking about the RM-UC1 remote release, simply plug it into the camera's USB port and then use the button on it instead of the shutter release button on the camera.
