Hello
The problem is that the lens has become stuck in the barrel
after dropping it. There are some DIY solutions you could try, but the
probability is that you will have to get it fixed by a professional.
Use
these at own risk as it may further damage the camera.
Firstly ,
try connecting your ac adapter or usb cable.
Try holding the
shutter button while switching on the camera.
Look at the lens ,
and if some of the lens 'circles' is misaligned or not concentric then
try wiggling it (while holding camera lens down).
Try gently
pushing or pulling the lens when it extends but this is risky as it may
cause the lens barrel to slip out of its guidance system.
Another
way to do this is to place the camera lens down on a hard surface and
then power it up. Be sure to use a soft cloth or something similar as to
not scratch your lens or casing. Let the lens push the camera up and
down a few times and sometimes the little resistance provided by the
camera is enough to get things going again.
Try hitting your
camera near the lens on the body with the soft tissue on the palm of
your hand.
Other than that , I would take the camera to a repair
center for a evaluation to see if it would cost more to repair than to
replace the camera.
If it is still under warranty I would suggest
you take it in before trying any of these steps and remove any
off-brand batteries or accessories as some stores are really fussy about
warranty repairs on camera's with non-brand accessories.
Hope
the advise is useful.
Regards
Andrea
DON'T SEND your camera to camerasandparts.com, it's a TOTAL SCAM. Google: camerasandparts review first. Almost all camera-problems in this website have a camerasandparts recommendation. They are done by the companies' employees. DON’T BE FOOL by their different profile pictures. They even take a step further to write positive reviews about the company in other websites. Who would be so free writing good thing of a company when they got their camera fixed. I won’t spend time writing bad things about them either if I’m not cheated by them. Judge it yourself, Good luck!
I would encourage anyone who has been defrauded by Camerasandparts.com to file a complaint with the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) a division of the FBI. They are opening up a case to investigate Camerasandparts.com and the more people who have been defrauded and can provide information to the IC3 about their situations, the more evidence they will have to pursue the company/site/proprietors and stop them from continuing to defraud people.
