the lens will not retract and camera is not functional (no picture ondisplay, and does not shoot) , and you already tried replacingbatteries with a new fresh set (ensure please) , and then restartingcamera with no memory card inside, then camera is faulty.
Try aneasy fix by pushing gently the lens (do not force them, just help them)while you turn off camera at same time. Try also switching the modeselector.
If still no luck , then the camera must be disassembled to fix the problem.
Possible reasons are :
- Faulty lens mechanism or jammed lens (camera usually turns off by itself in this case)
- Main board faulty.
- Ribbon cable to main board broken or connector defective.
- If there is no power at all it is the connector from batteries to main board, this is also a ribbon cable.
The pound 50 repair is not too bad , there is need to work at the camera a good number of hours to disassemble it and fix it. About the 30 pounds I do not know , I should inspect the camera to say.
