This problem could have several sources. It could be a low battery status. Another cause could be that the lens is jammed, so it won't work (safety system). You should bring the camera to a repair centre if the battery is fully charged and this problem persists.

Sometimes the camera needs to be rebooted to work properly again (i.e. when it has been in sleep mode for a long time)

This camera didn't get an update for Windows 10 compatibility. You can however put the memory card of your camera in a card reader and transfer the pictures that way. You can read more info on the FujiFilm website: Announcement of support for Microsoft Windows 10 Digital camera

You dismantle the camera.

Do you have any filter or lens protection on? is there any plastic film like those that come with new phone to protect the glass? if so that could be the reason.

Save away all photos you can and erase/format the memory card. If the error still continues, try replace the card with another and test again. Clean the card connector and the one in the camera with a cotton bud and some alcohol. Memory cards are rarely make problems, but sometimes happen.

Memory cards a are pretty generic these days. My best guess would be try best buy, Fuji makes a micro card, but seriously, just depends on how many gigs are required for your needs. I've been using Amazon more and more for just about everything

Not sure where you're seeing "P", but this abbreviation is often used to designate "Program", and contains auto settings for various lighting conditions. I don't see this on the Fuji site or in reference to their camera's at all, though it is used on Sony digital cameras.

Oops. Modern cameras are not made to disassemble and reassemble them. Worse, most modern cameras, can't be reassembled, because lots of things are not screwed, but glued. Opening a glued part can damage it and it is almost impossible to reassemble it without replacing some parts and glue. Better let it dry en try to blow out (NOT IN) the sand. Almost impossible to, because when you use a bellow, it most likely will blow things in. perhaps with a soft brush you manage to get things out. sorry I can't make it easier for you.

That is known as 'purple fringing' and is usually the result of the sensors and/or the lenses in your camera not being able to handle higher contrasts or over-exposure. Scientifically it has more to do with the how the camera sensor responds to the available light spectrum. (see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purple_fringing) Have you notice it is generally more pronounced where a very bright (white) area meets a high contrast (black) edge (like a bright sky behind a dark or shadowed object)? Best way to avoid is to be careful about the relative light levels exposures when framing the shot---or using a UV filter. There are many photo editing programs which can help eliminate purple fringing in post production.
