Camera on, screen blank, lens cover stays open-What to do?
Used the camera at the beach yesterday, and initially worked fine. Lens cover quite retracting, and I can't find anything stuck in it. The camera will turn on with a blank screen for 2-3 seconds, then turn off. I can review the pictures on the card, but nothing else. This is messing with my vacation big time, and any suggestions will be welcomed. I replaced the battery with a newly charged one, but didn't make any difference. I don't have any tools with me, but if needed,there is a Lowe's not too far away & I'm sure I should be able to find what I need. THANKS!!

I noticed you never got an answer to this. Are you still having this problem?'

Never rec'd any comments. Had a friend take it about but no salt/sand anywhere, still doesn't work. Checked out a couple of other sites and the general description is the lens assembly had gone bad. Either replace the lens assembly or replace the entire camera. Really like this camera & would be willing to try to fix it

Try to do a reset by removing the batteries & leave it for 12 to 24 hrs.
Another thing is that it could be the support. (firmware)
Might need to flash back.
