My digital Sony DSC-P10 fell down while taking pictures and lens has got stuck in half way.. Lens doesn't go in when I switch off and when i switch on then it can open well and gives error on the screen. ..... can any body help on this my kodak digital camara fell but the lens is stuck i could actually see the pictures but the lens is stuck wat can i do??
if ur very sure that the battery is fully charged...
first we would advice you to change the batteries and see ...... if
that doesnt work... the battery contacts may be corroded or bent and
hence not making correct contact with the battery
....
sometimes there cud be dust or sand particles in the lens retraction
passage... blow out air in those places..... this cud help a great
deal.... I was able to fix a similar problem by wiggling the outermost
part of the lens.as its trying to go in....
also try Place the
camera flat on its back on a table, pointed at the ceiling. Press and
hold the shutter button down, and at the same time press the power-on
button. The idea is that the camera will try to autofocus while the
lens is extending, hopefully seating the lens barrel guide pins in
their slots.
if that doest help
Remove the batteries, then
remove the memory card. Then install the new batteries, when you turn
it on it should come back to life. turn it off, slip in the memory card
and turn it on one last time.
if that doesnt help
Insert
the cameras Audio/Video (AV) cable, and turn the camera on. Inserting
this cable ensures that the camera's LCD screen remains off during the
start process. Thus extra battery power is available to the camera's
lens motor during startup. This extra power can be useful in overcoming
grit or sand particals that may be jamming the lens. If the AV cable
doesn't fix the lens error by itself, consider keeping this cable
installed while trying the above fixes and 7 as a means to provide
extra help to these fixes. But note that I DON'T recommend keeping the
cable installed during Fix 6 as you may damage the AV port while
tapping the camera. Reinsert the cable only AFTER tapping the camera.
Now
we're entering into the realm of potentially damaging your camera in
conducting the fix. There is definitely some risk here, so take care
when conducting the following two fixes.
Fix #6:
Repeatedly tap the padded/rubber usb cover on a hard surface with the
intent of dislodging any particles that may be jamming the lens. Other
variations include hitting a side of the camera against the palm of
your hand. A lot of people have reported success with this method.
HOWEVER, there is also some potential for damaging or dislodging
internal components with this method, such as unseating ribbon cables,
or cracking LCD screens.
Fix #7: Try forcing the lens.
More people have reported success with this method than with any of the
other methods. HOWEVER, there's obviously some potential for damaging
your camera by using this method. Variations include gently pulling,
rotating, and/or twisting the lens barrel while hitting the power
button. Attempt to gently straighten or align the barrel if it's
crooked or twisted. Another variation includes looking for uneven gaps
around the lens barrel, and then pushing on the side of the lens barrel
that has the largest gap (note pushing the lens barrel all the way in
is NOT recommended as it may become stuck there). While doing any of
the above, listen for a click that indicates that the lens barrel guide
pins may have reseated in their guide slots. If you hear this click,
immediately stop and try the camera.
