How do I repair a digital camera whose lens refuses to open?


I took my camera to the beach and I guess some sand got in it. I opened it and found barely any sand in it. is there any other way to fix it myself?

Point your camera downward and spray Dust-Off around the lens and you may get the obstruction out.

No, the sooner you get it to your repair store the better.

There is nothing on a camera, digital or other that can be owner repaired ... the one exception is what is called a "reset". The cameras manufacturer can walk you through that, step by step.

Here's some things that you can do to try to correct it. They only seem to work for less than 50% of the lens errors, but if the camera is out of warranty, they're worth a try:
