I see that alot in my days of working with cameras... my friend... the
only advice i can give you is that its cheaper to buy a new camera than
getting it fixed.. ...unless you purchased the camera with the service plan
(i.e. your local best buy retail usually offers service plans
on their products) or its under the manufacture warranty, but usually
the manufactures doesn't covered drops... you can always take it to
your local best buy retail and have geek squad look at it, but they are
going to tell you its cheaper to purchases a new camera.......
thanks.

Hello
The problem is that the lens has become stuck in the barrel. There are some DIY solutions you could try, but the
probability is that you will have to get it fixed by a professional.
Use
these at own risk as it may further damage the camera.
Firstly ,
try connecting your ac adapter or usb cable.
Try holding the
shutter button while switching on the camera.
Look at the lens ,
and if some of the lens 'circles' is misaligned or not concentric then
try wiggling it (while holding camera lens down).
Try gently
pushing or pulling the lens when it extends but this is risky as it may
cause the lens barrel to slip out of its guidance system.
Another
way to do this is to place the camera lens down on a hard surface and
then power it up. Be sure to use a soft cloth or something similar as to
not scratch your lens or casing. Let the lens push the camera up and
down a few times and sometimes the little resistance provided by the
camera is enough to get things going again.
Try hitting your
camera near the lens on the body with the soft tissue on the palm of
your hand.
Other than that , I would take the camera to a repair centre for a evaluation to see if it would cost more to repair than to
replace the camera.
If it is still under warranty I would suggest
you take it in before trying any of these steps and remove any
off-brand batteries or accessories as some stores are really fussy about
warranty repairs on camera's with non-brand accessories.
You can also have a look at THIS link.
Hope
the advise is useful. please do not hesitate to let me know if you need
any further assistance. Also, please be so kind to let me know if you
found this helpful.
Regards
Andrea

This is a known defect in this camera. It has happened twice to me in less than two years. If your warranty is valid then you can send it to Canon and they will fix it in about 6 weeks. However you will end up paying to renew your warranty every year because it will happen to you again. A total waste of money in my opinion. This has been such an awesome camera but after this happening to me again I am going to junk it and buy a Nikon.
