Any camera repair guy can repair these. A store that specifically sells digital camera can repair these cameras easily. This is actually a common problem for this camera and its cousin, the m525.
I have been tinkering with theses cameras. The lens for the m425 (and m525 )
can be removed and repaired manually. Since I am a amateur, my success
rate is about 50%. It all depends on how jammed the lens. If anyone has
good technique in manually repair these, I would like to know.
The one good thing is that lens can be removed and swapped out with another from a m425/m525 camera. I would look for broken cameras on eBay, ones with workings lens to replace your non-working lens
This is the lens focus gears. They are either knocked out of alignment, or debris has jammed them. The good news is it can be fixed....Casio most likely won't help. Hint...google my user name.
Take a close look at the lens barrels. Are they bent, out of round or (gasp) cracked?
A jammed lens is the most common cause of the problems you are discribing. The only solution is to replace the lens unit and the cost of the part alone is more then the camera is worth.
Sorry.
