Tip: The max point reward for answering a question is 15.
Lens covers are delicate things. A bit of dust or dirt inside and the the springs can't do their job. When cleaning doesn't work, to repair this I remove the lens cover and shorten the springs by cutting off a bit and then reattaching them. A small bit of mollyd to lubricate helps too. never use oil or silicone.
The pilot flame must touch (burn) the tip
oqef the t-couple to hold the magnet in the gas value open.make sure the pilot orifice (hole) is clear.the pilot pressure (in the tube) is factory set full open & can only be adjusted down (less). Also check the gas **** didn't get closed or turned half way.? Assuming its not the t-couple. If all is good & it still won't stay on. Replace the gas value.!
I have done this job. taking that think apart can be a pain.
There is probably a switch, that is pressed, and senses the closing or status of the tray, and it keeps resetting. It could be a leaf switch, that would be lucky. It could be an encased switch. You would need an exact replacement in that case.
The leaf switch could just need to be cleaned with a folded dollar bill. Its perfect for cleaning a couple of contacts, and its not destructive.
Its a shame to throw something like that away, for such a small problem.
Maybe you could sell it at a garage sale to some kid after you tell 'em what the problem is.
Point being, taking that kind of thing apart, and putting it back together again, might not be worth the stress that goes with it. I've done it because I am POOR, and if I had money, I wouldn't go through that aggravation.
Perhaps you have bad batteries? Connect it to another power source such as an AC wall outlet and use your power adapter and see if this helps. If it does not or you have already tried this then your camera may need to be serviced.
It has a misaligned loading mechanism. I have dealt with this kind of problem before. What is happening is that before the tray have a chance to open all the way it gets stuck and gets pulled back in.
