A. honestly it would be better to buy a new one... they don't really cost that much anymore. but... try to open it up and clean the lens some moisture or dust might of gotten it is all.. but if that don't work I'd recommend getting a new one because the inside of an inter lens is so small its really hard to work on

I just dropped my camera and the lens is Jammed help?
Q. Yes I just dropped my Nikon Coolpix L10 and the lens is jammed and I need a way to fix it. Please Help. Thank you in advance. How much would it cost to get it fixed? My warranty is up and what could best buy do that would fix it? Thats where my camera is from but that was like a year or so ago.

A. The warranty won't cover abuse anyway (such as dropping it.) The cost to fix would probably be as much as a new camera. I think the L10 is still available, or you can shop for a different model. Call Best Buy and wee what they say. I doubt they will give you an estimate over the phone without the repair facility actually seeing the camera. There are some websites that offer self "fix" ideas. Google and see what you find. At this point I suppose it won't matter if you are unsuccessful. And who knows, it might actually work.

A. You cannot fix it. Frequently on these pages I see people saying the lens mechanism is stuck and the answers from the experts are always to take it in for service. This seems to happen a lot. The question you need to ask yourself is if you want to upgrade or not. Your camera is only a 4mP sensor with only 3x zoom. This is okay but new cameras are offering a lot more. Go to the Olympus website and send a message to their customer service. Maybe they can give you some idea of the cost to fix it. Good luck.

How to repair a Jammed Camera Lens?
Q. I was turning off my Samsung camera, and as the lens were going in like normal, the camera just stopped halfway. It was uneven, so I couldnt turn it on. But i evened the lens by hitting the other side on the table, so now it turns on, but is obviously blurry. How do I fix it, i want a DIY. I dont want to take it to the repair shop.
Asked by Tiffanyy - Mon Jan 5 06:34:29 2009 - - 5 Answers - 1 Comments
A. Impossible to "DIY" repair. You likely ruined the camera by hitting it on the table. It has to be returned to Samsung for a repair estimate, which will likely be more costly than just buying a new camera. Disclosure: I am the owner of in Canada.

A. The only suggestion I can give you is to use a safety pin or something small and strong that can go between the lens and the camera. Use it to pry it open as you turn on the camera to on. Gently do it, though. If it doesn't work, you can use it as display or something.

A. If after you have tried the three suggestions ahead and still failed, it would be best to buy a new one. Personally, I'm guessing a low power scenario here so I would go for a freshly fully charged battery. If this uses AAs, get some new alkalines to test it out otherwise, discharge then fully recharge to about 5 hours or whatever the manual says.

How can I fix a Jammed camera lens?
Q. I have a SLR (film) Cannon EOS Rebel. My lens is Vivitar and NOT cheap. But I made the mistake of letting my boyfriend borrow it for a class and I got it back jammed. I can zoom in and out (although it seems like its having a tough time sliding from 70mm to 210mm) but its the focus that won't move during limit nor full. Manually, it doesn't move at all, but in automatic I can hear it trying. I would like to try to fix it at home, but I'm free to any tips or links. If I'm out of luck, just let me know if my lens is done for. Thanks.
