OK you are probably going to think I am loony giving you this advise But No I am completely sane!
Get a can of compressed air OR acces to a compressor at your local garage Get them to fit the triggered air blower tool to it.
Blow around the lens in all the extension joins the firmly slap it in the palm of you hand with the side of the camera making contact with you palm. Do the procedure two or 3 times and inbetween the slaps turn it on to activate the lens mechanism. I have now fixed about 80 of these cameras with this method. I obtained the fix from Sony who charge $90 to do exactly the same. Keep at it as it will eventually work. One tip, make sure the battery is charged before you do this.

my cannon powershotA560's flash will not work. it still takes pictures but not unless the flash is turned off. If I go to take a picture with the flash on- I hold down the button and the red light comes on like its going to take the picture but as long as i hold the button down it does not take a picture. I just want to be able to take pictures in the dark but there is no flash :(

Everything on the screen is blurry/out of focus. I dropped it and slightly separated the front/back sections of the camera, but slight enough that I could close it back together. Was going to try and take it apart and reclose it, but figured I would try you first. :o) Thanks!
