I dropped my PDX10, camera still works, but the lens won't focus its blurry. If I zoom in-,the focus works fine on high zoom,- but it won't focus if I slightly zoom or if there is no zoom. I tried manual focus but that doesn't work either, and no matter how many times I turn the focus (on manual) it doesn't look clear- it's off slightly. Can I remove the lens or adjust it, if so how?

Sorry to say but the lens needs to be sent in for repair. To repair or replace the AF motor is usually around the $200.00 range. Do not try to fix it yourself.
You did not say which lens or lenses you are using, but most auto-focus lenses have a switch for selecting manual or auto-focus. First, check your camera's menu settings to make sure auto-focus is enabled and then your lens to make sure you did not accidently leave it in the manual focus position? If it is in the auto-focus position and still not taking sharp pictures, switch it to manual and see if you can get it to focus correctly. It is also possible that your auto-focus alignment is out because your camera was bumped, jolted or dropped. If realignment is necessary, you can send the camera and lens to Nikon for repair or find a knowledgeable camera repairman.
The most likely cause for this is a zoom or focus lens out of place or impaired in some way andcan be repaired fairly inexpensively. However, it's not a user serviceable problem and will need to be repairedby a qualified service technician.

The fix is to contact the repair shop and explain that they may have "unstuck" the lens but they messed up the focussing. Let them fix it on their dime, not yours.
You could have cracked the lens, damage the focus or a number of other things but the lens and focus are most likely. check your lens for scratches if there is none and no cracks take it to your nearest camera store or buy new good luck!
