Bad telescoping lense on Casio Exilim EX-Z700?

I have a Casio Exilim EX-Z700, and lately, I haven't been able to take pictures with it. When I turn it on, the lense comes out, there's two mechanical clicks, and the lenses goes back into the camera and it turns off. I've charged the battery and there doesn't seem to be a problem with it or the charger. I can turn the camera on and view the images that are on the SD card without problems, it's only when I try to take pictures that the camera turns itself off. Is there anything I can do to remedy the problem?

As far as I know, it's not due to any kind of external damage, and I have in fact heard of this same problem before (with the same brand).

Has it fallen? My Fugi Finepix went to fall, and my cousin tried to catch it, an caught it by the lense, the same thing happened to mine. When I went to fix it, it completely broke. =/ You might want to contact Casio and see if the can help, especially if it's still under warranty? I just purchased a Casio Exilim, so this bothers me, hope it's not a defect!
