If the camera lens is not moving, damaged, or producing blurry images, use this guide to safely remove and replace the camera lens in your Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W570.
Before starting the replacement process, use compressed air to clean out any dirt and remove the SD card to clean that compartment as well.
An alternative solution may be to press and hold the shutter button down and at the same time press the power-on button. If the lens still doesn't open, retract, or extend, reset your device and follow the instructions carefully to ensure a successful replacement and restore your camera's functionality.
Before you begin this repair, make sure to power off your camera, unplug it from the charger, and remove the battery.
This guide involves removing a capacitor. While camera capacitors are relatively small, they can still store enough charge to give you a shock. To stay safe, the capacitor must be properly discharged.
This guide will show you how to create a simple, resistor-based tool to safely discharge the capacitor.
