So according to this, the connection should be like this.

@ Jesus:

Nice work there!  Just a suggestion as far as the camera circuits go.  The board you show looks like a Kodak board and I would strongly recommend the Fuji board.  But, some of the folks have purchased the "exact same" camera as I did and got different Fuji boards with different transformers.  I bought a second one today and I will open it up later to see what I got.  We figured out it is sort of like a grab bag deal.  Whatever they rebuilt and sent out to the stores that week is what you get.  I am just really impressed at what this board is able to do and, hopefully, it might help put you over the top.

I have been trying to get a fuji camera circuit, but I have not been able to find it on the shoping centers here. The only ones are Kodak or another one with the name of the drug store that sells it.

I made measurements on the voltage of the camera and the voltage of the joule thief and used a potentiometer on the joule thief to divide the voltage coming from the battery and the output voltage is the same even though the LED is dimmed. Meaning that I am doing something wrong on the connections.

Happy holidays!

I was making tests with a potentiometer and the joule thief again.
When I turn the potentiometer all the way to the right the LED glows very bright and the meter shows 2.55v dc.
When I turn the knob left to the minimum current to light the LED the meter shows 2.46. I need to find the right spot to connect the potentiometer so I can get an output of 1.5v.

By the way the potentiometer is 50k.
