Hi I have exactly the same problem as you. the lens is stuck in the extended position & when I switch the camera on I get as series of bleeps and Canon appears on the screen but no lens movement did you find a fix for this issue or is it just a throwaway job?
Lens is stuck extended. When I power on the lens retracts and the extends again. Canon blue screen appears, 6 beeps and camera shuts off.

Hi there
I got some extremely fine “Namib Desert” sand in my lens and
now it’s jammed partially open, anyway ideas? Is it possible to open the camera
up from the back and remove the lens . . . Any feedback would be greatly
appreciated.
