Basically, the thing stopped working. DMC-FZ1 It was dropped from a tripod it landed Lens DOWN. So it kind of smashed into it maybe? But nothing on the outside seems to be actually broken. The lens is crooked, but thats all that seems to be wrong. Yet it won't turn on at all. Maybe if someone could suggest something? Perhaps maybe something needs to be fidgeted around inside? Or is it a better idea if I pay a professional? But whatever the case. Anyone who has any suggestions it would be highly appreciated. I am not all that determined to buy a new camera.. I am highly attached to this one at the moment.
The lens motor mechanism is very fragile and will stoppworkin even if you look at it too hard let alone drop it. The cost of repair will be high - best bet is to write it off[are you insured against accidental damage?]Check out the manufacturer off course.

I'm having trouble getting my grandfather's Panasonic DMC-FZ1 to communicate with his Vista laptop. The cable/camera aren't defective-- it worked properly with my Macbook. But he needs it on his computer. Any suggestions? I'm a little unfamiliar with the operating system, but I can't get it to register.
