Hi every one i have Sony CyberShot DSC-P41 and it was display the same Message i read that this message means the lens mecanism get stock so i shake the camera but nothing happens but when i getting prepared to un-assembly the camera it fall down out of my hands and wen i take it again it was fix, so you just have to hit or shake the camera a little bit hard.
So 2 weeks ago my Sony DSC-W80 stopped working. Our friends dog ran
into the camera (in my girlfriends hand) full speed. It started opening
and closing a few times, and then giving the "turn the camera off and
back on" message. I read about tapping around the lens, etc. None of
this worked.
I took off the camera body and carefully examined
the interior of the camera. Turning in on and watching closely, I
discovered the problem. Looking at the camera from the front, I saw a
slider on the top right side of the lens that appeared to be jammed. I
then saw a spring that was attached to the slider and free on the other
end. Apparently when the dog rammed the camera, the other mount for the
spring broke off (they are very fragile). The purpose of the slider is
to adjust the viewfinder based on the zoom range of the lens. I simply
removed the slider which had jammed when the spring came loose. Camera
works flawlessly now. The only issue is that the viewfinder doesn't
zoom, but who uses the viewfinder anymore anyway? Oh, and I have a
screw leftover. What project isn't complete without having extra parts
when you are done?
Hope this can help someone else!
I read some of the above reccommendations and instead of hitting or shaking I grabbed the lens and manipulated it firmly like I was trying to twist it in and out as I powered on and off, in a few seconds it started working again.
Hi rs, this is mechanical lens stuckup this is repairable.
I am shocked and so happy to report that I took the advice of the posting and HIT and SHOOK the camera --- and it worked !! The lens was just stuck and buy pulling it and shaking it -- it's working again. Thank you to the previous posters.
I also put a bit of wd-40 on a q-tip and rubbed it around the lens, when it was extended. This seems to have solved my problem.
Knocking the camera sounds like it works but may create another problem. I have had this problem with p-100 , p-200 and now the w50, I have found a small drop, of wd40 placed on both sides ,two opposing sides,of the lens ring where it extends from the body will work also. Don't spray, its a bit too hard to control amount deposited. Use a toothpick or a stick to dip and then drop the oil.
This happened to me when I was on a cruise last November. After I hit the camera, it worked, but eventually it happened again. When I hit it again, it didn't work. I ended up returning it.

I am having DSC W80. Suddenly it started showing "turn the power off and on again" and the lens is coming out and gonig for 3-4 times when ever I switched it on. But i can able to see the pics already stored... Help plsss...
I cant get this thing off the screen.. "Turn the power off and on again"
Same problems but with an DSC P93A, I do not what to do
Mine started doing the same thing today. I am on vacation and very upset that I can't continue to take pictures.
Yes, we are having the same exact problem. We have taken no steps at this time to solve the problem.
My Sony Cybershot DSC-W80 has been treated very well. No problems. Took pics on Easter and the next day....lens extended/retracted several times and then the display went black and said "turn camera on and off again". So I did and nothing changed. Banged it on my palm and that worked once but never again. I don't see any uneven gaps around the lens. I took the battery out and reset as well, as suggested on Sony website. No luck. Suggestions?
I have the same problem. The battery is fully charged and there's plenty of space on my 2GB memory stick, but it just keeps doing it when I try to take pictures. Any luck on an answer as to why it is doing this or how it can be fixed?
Turn power on and off. Lens will extend and retract, then ask me to turn off the camera. My camera was only 87 days old, but Sony would not honor the warranty. They said it was impact damage. They wanted me to pay $187 to fix, but the camera only cost $149. I asked for the camera to be sent back to me. Once I received my camera, I fixed it by shaking it gently. The lens re-engaged and the camera now works.Â
Same problem upon turning the camera on and powering up, the lens goes in and out 3 times and then promts to shut the power down and on again. It does not correct the problem by doing this.
I HAVE DCS-W70 WITH SAME PROBLEM AS WELL.WHEN YOU TURNED ITON IT SAY'S " TURN THE THE POWER OFF AND ON AGAIN" AND TRIED IT SEVERAL TIMES AND ITS WORK..AS WELL THE LENS KEPT LOCKED AND IT WONT COME BAK WHEN TURNED IT OFF..PLS HELP
Getting the same error message, "turn the power off and on again". I bought the DSC-W90 on December 24th, 2007. I suspect the same issue. It is under warranty so I am going to try to send it back to the manufacturer as a first step resolution. I would take it apart but feel tampering with it prior to sending it back to the manufacturer would not be wise.
Will keep you posted!
When turning on the camera, it tries to open the shutters on the lens 3 times, only partially opening and closing, then says "access, turn power on and off again". It also sounds like it may have something loose inside, as it rattles.
I have purched 2 cybershots and both have had issues with the lens not wanting to retract. saying to turn off power then turn back on? is this not a good camera? It's to bad because I really like them!
I recharged my NP-BG-1 lithium battery and reinserted it into camera....it did
not fix the problem....what else can I do
Im having this same problem my camara showing turn you camara off and on i did that for about 20 min need help!

I had the same problem with my sony DSC-W80, and it happens to be the lens as you said. I've tried with twisting the lens a bit while i was turning the camera on, and it worked just find!!! The problem was that I went to the beach and some sand get in it, so I took them out just by zooming in and out and blowing a bit while doing it, and they suddenly went off.
Thanks to you all! You've just saved me $150!
I had this problem too. All the sudden it told me to turn the power off and on again after working perfectly fine. I went to where I bought it and he reccomended I get a new battery or buy a whole new camera? After hearing this I am going to try turning the lense or shaking it, as it may have been sand from my trip. Thanks for your comments! I really like this camera and didn't want to have to buy a new one.
AMAZING!!! JUST WORKED FINE!! THAT SOUNDED CRAZY!
