Im getting error 1114 because the lens is crooked, how could i fix it?

for me when i was getting the lens error 111, the lens shutters were set crooked and was able to move them slightly and the error went away and the camera works fine now.

This is probably THE most common failure among digital cameras. There's a halfway chance of fixing it yourself, described here: http://camerarepair.blogspot.com/2007/12/fixing-lens-error-on-digital-camera.html

replace lens unit

my father has this same camera and the same lens error. while my father and his fiance were on vacation they wanted their picture taken so they asked this sweet old lady to take it for them. after she took the picture when she went to hand it back to his fiance and say thank u. the old lady was a little short when handing it back to my fathers fiance and it fell to the ground. the lens that comes out is crooked and when u turn on the camera the lens tries to move and the screen says lens error 122 etc then shuts off. this feature is great cuz the camera knows something is wrong and shuts the camera back off to avoid further damage. i googled a repair manual when i came across ur post. we want to send it to kodak and get it repaired but were wondering if the cost to repair and shipping back to my father --- if its about the price of a new camera he'll probably just get a new camera. i suggested since im so good with fixing stuff could i take a shot at trying to fix it? he said its worth a shot. so i just took out all the screws on the outside of the camera and i have an old guitar pick to pry it open without mangling the plastic cover. if i can fix several desktop computers and i personally built the laptop im using right now, im sure i can fix the camera back to working order. the scuffs might still be there, but if i can get this to work again, i know i succeeded. this camera is about $100-$150. not sure of the exact price or where the many places u would find it. which is practically everywhere cameras are sold. ill bookmark this post and if i succeed and what i do to succeed, ill come back and post some tips. but please be aware this fix u might do, will be completely ur risk at fixing ur camera. my fathers camera is less than a year old so im charting into new territories. i hope i can do this. take care and talk to you soon. melissa locust grove, ga ps: if u succeed, please post any tips on how u fixed ur camera.

This is what the Sanyo Customer Service team responded with for me, and it worked:

Take a look at the lens to see if it is crooked or mis-aligned. If it is, with the camera turned off, try to straighten the lens to see if it will click back into place. If it does, turn the camera on and off a couple of times to see if the lens will open and close as normal and then try using the camera as normal.
If the lens is not crooked or straightening does not solve the problem, the camera will need to be serviced.
The warranty coverage period is 90 days for parts and labor.
For non-warranty service, check your yellow pages for camera repair to have a local service technician take a look at the camera for you.
Please consider that the normal out of warranty labor cost can be around $ 75.00, this does not include the cost of parts and return freight upon completion of repairs.
