Answer 1

Do you have warente on your camera?

    Some cameras have like one year warente, this means you can send your camera in to the factory place, and they will send you a different new one.

Answer 2

theres nothing u can do... its gone. buy a new camera. get an olympus that is sand/dustproof or get a camera with a protection  plan. sorry for the bad news :(

edit: not all olympus cameras are dustproof/sandproof. only the ones that dont have the lens that retracts. the olympus   750sw for example.

Answer 3

That happened to my sister's camera last year. She tried taking it apart and it didn't help. She had to buy a new camera..

Answer 4

Then you will have to wait until you can afford repairing it or buy a new camera ... that is it.

Forcing the lens out with sand in its mechanism, may only further damage your camera.
