Lens cover stuck

If you're careful this problem is a relatively easy fix for many digital cameras. The design of the lens cover mechanism is usually simple and very similar throughout camera brands. Here's an example fix for a Canon A400 with similar problems:

Yeah it happens on the A series canons also. They are a very thin plastick and they pivot on a plastic post they use a very low tension spring so after a while the pivot points swell up and bind. Since the covers are so thing they can sometimes waro also

Only thing you can do is try a WD40 pen, its like a marker but has the WD40 lube in it. Mark around the shutters with the wd40 mabe it will free them up. If you try and mess with it they can pop out and the parts will go flying.
