Camera just stopped working (by 3 users)

Hi! I was using the camera one moment (with lens fully extended) and it just turned off. The lens is stuck out. I have not been able to turn it on since. I have tried charging the battery, changing the memory card, plugging into the computer. Nothing seems to work. The LCD screen is black - there is no sign of life at all! I have had this camera since December 2002. Can anyone help or suggest a solution? I have investigated costs of repair and GBP138 seems a lot to pay- probably more than the camera is worth now!

Thank you for your help!

I have the same problem.
