My son pushed the lens closed on my sony cybershot camera and not it will not open when the power is turned on. I started to take it apart to look at it but it gets pretty intricate. A community camera shop wants at least $ 160 to take a look, maybe more for repair. does anyone have any thought if this is something i can fix by for myself, and if there are parts available online? Or am i out of luck and just need to buy a new camera?

I dropped my precious cybershot at a concert and the same business happened – the lens jammed. I took it to Wolf Camera and the said the same business – $ 160 to just see what was incorrect – then parts etc. I went to Bestbuy and looked at what a new camera cost and finished up buying it instead because my camera was 3 years ancient. it kills me that this is such plotted obsolesce. It really depends on how much you want to save – for me the $ 75 saved on fixing didn’t match getting a groundbreaking new one with improved features. You can also call Sony and they can help you directly. They are not so nice, but you may maybe try.

Sony do not sell parts for do-it-yourself repairs.

WARNING – If you carry out this repair, you are doing so entirely at your own risk. Even if it worked OK with my camera, remember that things can get BETTER as much as WORSE. Just be aware. Someone from Canada tried it and it did not work for him (no more info). If the camera is under warranty, it will become void if you mess about with it; so please do not attempt this if you don’t feel confident to do so. My Sony PC110 camcorder has been showing the error C:31:22 and C:31:23 on and off from time to time for the past 6 months. Sometimes after inserting another tape it will work for a while, but the tape was not at fault. I read the comments on this forum www.camerahacker.com and smacked the camcorder 2 to 3 times as Debbie suggested. No luck. If anything, things got worse, or did they? After I removed the tape I noticed the small black tape roller (see cylinder in black rubber) had fallen off its pin and was baggy inside the camera. Refer to Ahmed Jasim’s comment with pictures at the above link on 9 Jan 2007. I also suggest looking inside the camera’s mechanisms to see if the plastic locking piece is lodged somewhere inside it. In this case you can assemble it back on the roller and all should work. I may maybe not find my locking piece, so I carried on as follows: I took the baggy roller out and inserted the tape again. The error changed to C:31:11 and some times to C:31:42. I opened the tape’s compartment door but the tape did not eject (I assume because roller was missing …
