My camera prompts me to turn camera off and then on but repeats the prompt with no success.

SOURCE: Error message 5555AAAA-4489-163-062

check if the little metal lens cover is stuck open.  Mine was stuck open, so I just smacked the camera against my hand and the cover popped closed.  Then the camera turned on normally...

Hopefully, you have already resolved this, but if not...

What you will need is to replace the date/time battery for your camera. It is a 3V battery that you can purchase anywhere for $1-$5 and it slides into a small compartment located in your main battery compartment. If you look into the battery area on your camera, you will see a little tab that has CR1220 or something like that. Slide this out and you will see what I am referring to. These batteries should not have to be replaced more than once a decade, however sometimes in rare occurrences, they will die prematurely. It's an inconvenience, but an easy one to remedy.

Hope this helps!

Here's some things that you can do to try to correct it. They only seem to work for less than 50% of the lens errors, but if the camera is out of warranty, they're worth a try:

You may have the card locked so that the format isn't taking. Verify that there isn't something that is physically preventing the format. If the slide is in the locked position move it to the opposite side.
