Hp camera LENS ERROR`

Hi,

Here is a tip that I wrote about How toget a Digital Camera Lens to work again

Steps toRepair a Digital Camera Lens

Could be that the lens cover doesn't open fully or that perhaps there is a smudge on the bottom part of the lens. Maybe a water drop. IF the front optics are dirty, use an optical-quality lens cleaning solution and cloth (if you have glasses, the lens cloth that came with your glasses). Apply a very small amount of cleaner to the cloth and gently clean the lens.

If the lens cover doesn't open, could be a grain of sand. The only thing to do is to gently move the lens cover in and out & hope the sand works its way out.

oh you silly boy,,,,,we have all done that in our time,,,what you have done is knock the lens gearing out of wack,,,well its busted for good,, as it may well be,,, but if you genteelly push on the lens when you turn off the carera it may help it to "jump" back into gear,,,but it may not!!!!
it may also help it if you stand the camera on its lens and turn it on and off a fuw times as well, once its back in the right place on its gearing it should be ok,,,,however you may need to have a camera shop try to fix it,,but thats very price and it could be cheaper to just buy a new camera,
just dont drop that one as well,,,,they brake easly?

The following blog outlines some repair options for a lens error. They won't work for all cases, but they're worth a try if the camera's no longer under warranty:

Make sure the batteries are fresh alkaline batteries. If this doesn't work and the lens is clean i would be 90% sure that the focusing motor is gone. Has it gotten any knock or drop resently? It only takes a little one!

Hi

You should never hit or bang your camera on something to try and fix it. Anybody that tells you to do it is wrong; you'll be lucky if you don't damage your camera further... as it seems as you have done here.

Your lens was stuck, probably had a speck of dirt in the gears and now it turns on but it can't focus. You've either damaged the fine focus gears, or dislodged them, or managed to disconnect a cable by banging the camera.

You need to open up the lens, clean out the gears and rebuild the lens assembly; this is what you should have done in the first place.

If you don't want to do it yourself you can find a shop that will do it for a reasonable price if you look hard enough. DONT pay somebody $100 or more to do it for you!!

I own an AFFORDABLE digital camera repair business, we can clean and repair your camera lens for you for $45 if you don't need the lens replaced.

If you would like to use our services we would be happy to help.

Good luck from Darntoothysam com

i had the same problem with lens is blurry and lens error message comes up. My solution might sound sillys but it works. tapping on the side of the camera, put some force to it.(with hands only).

check if the little metal lens cover is stuck open.  Mine was stuck open, so I just smacked the camera against my hand and the cover popped closed.  Then the camera turned on normally...

Turn on camera. Blurry pic. Wirly grinding noises. Blue screen.
Codes on blue screen:

5 f 0 8
5 e 0 2
5 f 0 8
5 e 0 2

Sometimes smacking the **** out of it fixes it. Today it doesn't seem to do the trick any more.

Suggestions?

have u ever send the camera to repair??, that cameras had a faulty lens, and need to be replaced our be repaired. good luck
