E18 ERROR SNAPPED RIBBON CABLE ON REPAIR ATTEMPT CAMERA WONT RUN NOW

I understand that hedge trimmers in particular Bosch have safety cut off housed inside the machine ,,so even if you repair a cut cable the trimmer will not restart unless returned to bosch for repair ,,,,fortunately i took out insurance when purchasing and simply took back to store for replacement ...

either try to restore device or the camera may have been un-plugged from the mainboard in this case you would just take it apart and snap it back on.. try a 3rd party camera app 1st

E18 is lens error. When the lens will not retract and camera is not functional (no picture on display, and does not shoot) , and you already tried replacing batteries with a new fresh set (ensure please) , and then restarting camera with no memory card inside, then camera is faulty.

Try an easy fix by pushing gently the lens (do not force them, just help them) while you turn off camera at same time. Try also switching the mode selector.

If still no luck , then the camera must be disassembled to fix the problem.

Possible reasons are :

• Faulty lens mechanism or jammed lens (camera usually turns off by itself in this case)
• Main board faulty.
• Ribbon cable to main board broken or connector defective.
• If there is no power at all it is the connector from batteries to main board, this is also a ribbon cable.

If the camera is less than one year old will be replaced by manufacturer.

If your warranty is expired you can get an estimate for repair from manufacturer, or from a third party like Advance Camera here :Advance Camera Repair you can book the repair online.

good luck my friend!
Hope you will save 150$ for the repair..

My sister's camera was having the same trouble and after trying a few different things, i came across a solution that fixed her camera. Her error said "lense error, restart camera."

I held down the shutter button for a few seconds, then i held down the power button as well. I tried it once or twice and then it worked. I hope this helps!
