Awwww, there was a good chance that you could have fixed that. Not now though. But for others, just Google the term lens error. The first result has troubleshooting steps for this problem.
can anyone help me? i bought an used canon S3 a few month ago the camera was working fine until a month ago i wanted to take pictures but accidentally i pushed the wrong button and my camera went crazy and the lense got stock and it doesn't go back in, on the screen i get a message "LENSE ERROR RESTART CAMERA"
@miloqui I read just an hour ago the following: "Fix #4: Place the camera flat on its back on a table, pointed at the ceiling. Press and hold the shutter button down, and at the same time press the power-on button. The idea is that the camera will try to autofocus while the lens is extending, hopefully seating the lens barrel guide pins in their slots." my cam actually worked for a few seconds after it was broken for nearly 2 years.
I used this technique to solve the error on my canon A400 and it worked!!! In fact, It works better with a bigger hammer. Thanks for sharing this instructive video.
YEA! I have had the same conclusion with my $400.00 Canon bomb SD900 poor excuse of a camera. I carefully saved the battery and the memory card though I don't know why canon still sells these when they are aware of the problem. Canon even has web sites banned that report this problem.....PIRATES. Thanks for the vid
I have had my Caonon A80 for about 5 years. It has always worked great and use it in the outdoors most of the time. I just started to get this E18 error so I thought I'd look into it. Thank you so must for your video, I now believe I too can repair my camera as you have demonstrated! This is a very educational and hilarious video!!!
Would you please show me how to put it back together after the tear down...
