Camera worked fine and then yesterday, went to take a pic. THe lens extended and the whole thing stopped, just a flashing green light on the camera/playback switch. Changed batteries, no help. Cannot get the lens to move in, or get the camera to do anything.

SOURCE: Lens won't open and retract.
It sound like a problem with the zooming mechanism (lens would not retract or extended) Press the power button on and hold it down while extending and twisting the telescopic zoom lens. It might fix your problem. In any case it could not make it worse Good luck!

There is a very very easy way to fix this problem..
This can happen if...
1.) If the battery dies when the camera lens is open (and you close it manually, or sometimes, even if you dont.)
2.)
If you used a AC adapter with too much voltage or not enough. (this can
happen even if you used the correct voltage, refrain from using AC
adapters at all)
... all together its ethier a voltage or camera lens problem...
TIPS:
1.)NEVER PUSH THE LENS IN AFTER CAMERA DIES, BUY A NEW BATTERY IMMEDIATLY AND TURN IT BACK ON, CLOSING THE LENS!
2.)NEVER USE AN AC ADAPTER, USE A RECHARGEABLE BATTERY OR A REGULAR BATTERY!
..to fix this...
Do as i say..
1.) Remove battery
2.) Remove front plate (screw driver may be needed)
3.) Check all gears, make sure they are correctly fitted in place)
4.) Move the gear manually to make the lens come out.
5.) keep it out, put the front plate back together.
6.) reinsert the battery, turn it on.
or...
1.) Remove the battery.
2.) Wait about 6-8 hours.
3.) Reinsert the battery.
or...
1.) Remove the battery.
2.) Try hooking it up through AC adapter, put correct voltage.
3.) Try turning it on.
4.) Remove AC adapter, reinsert battery.
5.) Turn it on.
Hopefully all this information helped,

My camera was showing lens error 12&25 and then shutting off. I tried gently trying to twist and pull the furthest out part of the lens and it popped back into place easily. It made a noise when it did this, and then i turned the camera off, and the lens went back in!! Completely fixed now!!
SOURCE: Problem at switch on
The problem was caused by fine particles getting trapped between the sections of the lens. I tore off a thin strip of paper and wrapped it around the inner barrel of the lens. By rotating the paper, I dislodged the particles, switched on and the camera functioned normally.
