Have the same problem, went to Sony Service Center but the price they ask for the repair is almost the price of a brand new digicam. I went back home extremely dissapointed.
Then I borrowed one contact cleaner (electronic spray cleaner) from a friend and tried spraying the the lens while it is drawing back and forth, kept it warm a for a while. At first, got scared when the lens totally jammed when i tried to turn it on, then i tried throwing it on the carpet floor (2 feet height) several times. And wallah it works...
Be extra careful when throwing and make sure that the LCD face is NOT the one hitting the floor to avoid damage on the LCD (Technique: throw it in a circular horizontal motion, like throwing a freezebee). The camera should be OFF when you throw it. Be extra careful not to spray excessive amount or it may give stain on the inner side of the LCD.
It seems that a tiny (dirt) particle has got inside its mechanism which cause the malfunction. I got this throwing thing advice from some of the user on the web which are having the same problem. Unfortunately, in my case we need a little help from a Contact Cleaner. This throwing things really work in this type of problem...

The same exact thing happened to me... I gently tapped the front of the camera just below the lens on a countertop while powering on. The lens was stuck closed. It opened right up and came on!!
