Answer 4

If it comes down to it and you're just going to throw it out anyways you can try to open it up and fix it yourself. I did this with my old HP camera and managed to fix it. It was a little larger than cameras these days though and so left more room for error. If you do open it up I suggest you write down all the steps of taking it apart so you can put it back together again.

Sorry to hear about your camera.  I did the same thing to a Nikon a while back and tried several repair places.  Most said it was not repairable but a couple said it COULD be repaired but that the repair would cost more than a new camera.  The replacement camera I bought cost less than the excess on my insurance (so I didn't claim), had more functionality than the old one, and cost about a seventh of the price of the old one.  It seems criminal to throw away a camera that is 90% still good but the economics just don't justify repair.  Sorry.
