The lens stays out. sometimes when you press the on button the lens goes in then comes out again. the screen is not going on but is not cracked or damaged.

Try these procedures.

It needs either service or repair

Checkout your poota power setup configs, just could a malfuction or wrong data entry

If you are talking "New" with a year, take back to point of purchsed with proof of purchase and give them the problem, you want to be online?

try rebuilding the database and the file system in recovery consol

to get to the recovery consol press and hold the power button when ps3 is in standby mode(red light) till you hear a double beep. sometimes the ps3 does a beep then another beep and goes back into standby thsi is fine just release the power and quikly press and hold it again till you get double beep.

like on my 80g system it goes like this

ps3 standby...press hold power.......beep .........beep........stanby again....release and hold power again.......beep .........double beep...release power now you should be in recovery menu.

Very common problem, you have a bad lens. Unless under warranty the camera may be history.

maybe this works: turn your camera on in play mode (if you have play button press it to turn on camera) and if your camera hase a shoot-play switch select play mode and then turn your camera on.) repeat this until lens goes back. I hope this works...

how about give us our money back!

Maybe the battery is low OR your press the button the turns the camera into the on you have to manual look through. The button should be at th e top left it looks like a screen, when pressed like 4 times the screen goes black. I'm not a expert but maybe this will help

i am having the exact problem as you are having have you figured anything out? Thanks!

Try another battery, it's possible current battery no longer viable or needs a deep discharge recharging.
