I went to turn my camera off and when I did, it shut off with the lens still out. i left it alone for a few minutes and nothing happened, a few days later, still nothing. I think I tried to force it in but then the lens got jammed, it still turns on though but I can't view pictures or anything. It still charges, takes pictures. Just can't view anything and the lens won't go back in.

Lense and body connection problem...Try removing and replacing he lens. Also you can try to gentley turn the lens on the body to make the contacts touch better...
shut the tower off or unplug it form the back for a few minutes
plug in back in and then try to turn it on
you may have a power supply failure
let me know what happens
i have the same problem with these camera. to get it fixed just take out the battery wait for a few sec and put the battery back on, then switch the camera on. for the lens just gently move/force the lens to open, then turn off the camera wait for a few seconds then turn on the camera back on see what happens. and if still persist keep doing it till gets back to normal.
this sometimes happens to my camera from time to time i think it just its wear and tear.
one more problem with this camera is that it'll go blurr, just do the basic turn off or take out the battery wait a few sec and then turn it back on.
hope this will help u.
the battery is not holding charge anylonger.need to buy new one (aprox $9 on ebay) or try to have it rplaced atthe store you bought the camera from (it should last more than 1 year for sure)
Defective mechanism, a stucked mechanism is present. camcorder are smart it can detects error and shuts down itself for safety. earlier models dominoes the defect if the user is not quick enough to react when something goes wrong with the camera. You need professional service to fix it.
A temporary fix to power up is to press the menu and power button at
the same time. When the lens is extended and it beeps, on my camera ,
the lens is *stuck* Give it a gentle tug , then try the power button
again
