During a St. Patts party i droped my camera on the ground. Then it would not close or take pictures. I had a little to drink and thought that it would be a good thing to forcefully close it, and prob striped the gears inside. Now it will not do anything....does anyone have any advice to help me out? or am I out of luck. Thanks
Call repairs. Sounds like you may have stripped the gears. That is what we call a "lens error". 800-706-2534 and keep choosing option 2 and they will tell you where to send it.

Your lens might have been damaged, or the mounting was deformed. The best thing to do is to send your camera to the nearest authorized repair service center. Much better if you still have your receipt and claim the warranty.
Powershot A640 Could Not Be Powered On, Burnt Smell
My Powershot A640 died during a picture shot, lens remaining open. I thought it may be due to the dead batteries. But after putting new batteries and pushing the on/off button, the on/off indicator blinked once then shut off by itself. After a while, a strange smell came from camera batteries area, and I could feel warm there too. Immediately I took out all the batteries from camera.
When checking the posts here the other day, I tried one solution and got the lens back to close: first took out the memory card from camera, then put the new batteries in; push the on/off button with no memory card. I found the lens retracted a little before camera shut off by itself. I pushed on/off button three times to get the lens fully close. However, the burnt smell came out again. I immediately took out the batteries.
Did I get a short circuit inside? Is there any ways to fix it?
at first blush i would say water in the gas... buy a couple bottles of gas line antifreeze. put them in the tank and let it set overnite if you can tho sometimes it works faster then that. gas line antifreeze is alcohol (NOT the kind you would drink).
if that solution doesn't work the next alternative is that the coil pack is going.
I would try resetting the camera. Worth a shot.
In REC mode press menu
go to setup tab
go up to reset
press right arrow & highlight reset
press set.
If that doesn't work you might have to send it in.
