How can I fix my digimax s600 lens error?

My batteries died while the lens was out and now the lens will not retract and he camera will not come on. Is this the end if my camera?

it needs repaired

The general approach is a follows.
When the batteries die on digital cameras, the small motor that retracts the lens will not be able to do its job. First thing, DO NOT in any way try to force the lens closed, this will screw up the mechanism. Best bet is to replace or recharge the batteries to a full charge and switch on. Good luck.
