The problem is possibly the lens has become stuck in the barrel. There are some basic solutions you could try, but the
probability is that you will have to get it fixed by a professional. I would take the camera to a repair
center for a evaluation to see if it would cost more to repair than to
replace the camera..However if it is still under warranty I would suggest
you take it in before trying any of these steps given below . Use
the following DIY solution at own risk as it may further damage the camera.
Firstly ,
try connecting your ac adapter or usb cable to the Camera.
Try holding the
shutter button while switching on the camera.
Look at the lens ,
and if some of the lens 'circles' is misaligned or not concentric then
try wiggling it (while holding camera lens down).
Try gently
pushing or pulling the lens when it extends but this is risky as it may
cause the lens barrel to slip out of its guidance system.
It looks like you've knocked the lens barrel out of alignment. Its all supported by some very delicate cogs and gears. It's probably slipped a tooth somewhere.
To be honest, I'd come clean with your Dad and try and get it repaired under warranty.
This is probably THE single most common failure among digital cameras. There's a halfway chance of fixing it yourself, described here: http://camerarepair.blogspot.com/2007/12/fixing-lens-error-on-digital-camera.html
