I dropped my Sanyo pink camera and the lens is now stuck in, any way to fix it myself? Help !

Question

I brought my camera figure skating w/ me to make a video and dropped it while it was open .I tried pushing it back in and now it's stuck. Other than taking to the camera place. the model is VPC-E760. Thanks

Answer 1

You probably broke the sensor that opens and closes the lens.  I had the same problem and it cost more to repair then to buy a new one.

Answer 2

Pink cameras tend to do that a lot.  The prevailing theory is that it's camera suicide.  Sorry, time to get a new camera.

Answer 3

OK this has happen to multiple of my friend's and my camera's, if nothing broke, and it's just stuck, don't just try to push it in, try to "bend/tilt" the lens from side to side in order to get it unstock, and press the power button, it should try to retract the lens. keep trying until it's unstuck.
