I receive ''access'' error

I receive "access" error when I turn on my camera. The lens continually tries to open and close. This repeats until I get a message: to power off and restart again. I tried that many times with no success. I change my battery with no success. I changed my memory stick also without any success. 

I have tried to do a reset, however I cannot get access to any function keys to begin the reset function

The "Access" will stay there until your camera passes it's self lens test. The test runs 3 times, then gives up with an error message. The cause of this problem is most likely a grain of sand somewhere in the lens. Only a camera tech could possibly ever hope to find it. Replace the camera lens.

How to disassemble lens on a casio exilim ex-z75
Jim, I really wouldn't recommend this. It requires extreme patience and meticulous parts tracking. Note that junctions stated: "It's really hard to take apart,", and he ain't kidding.
Really recommend that you return to the remedies that you had been trying. Sometimes it requires many repeated tries to free the gunk from the shutter. I've found that for the smaller pocket cameras that the most effective solution seems to be extending the lens and tapping around the lens barrel with a pen/pencil. Then alternately opening the battery door with the camera turned on (no need to play with shutter modes). Then just alternate with tapping, battery door, tapping, battery door, and keep doing this until the shutter opens/closes. Once this happens, set the camera to continuous shutter mode and snap off about 100 pictures to final lubricate the shutter.Good Luck,t00nz aka CR

Turn on but not working
Most all cameras have a "FORMAT" mode that is accessable through your MENU options. Find It and try RE FORMATING YOUR CAMERA. You may lose stored images but it will reset the Camera back to Factory settings. Good Luck

I need to replace the lens of w-180.what is I number of part?
I'm guessing that you're experiencing an "access error" (on Sony's) or a "lens error" (on Canon's and others). Unfortunately the replacement part runs about $30 on ebay (here's one example, just search there for: sony w180 lens), and runs close to the value of your camera (going rate for a used w180 is about $40). If you purchased such a lens, there's no guarantee that you'd be able to fix your camera, as it really is not easy to access the lens.
You might want to instead consider that fix techniques have been developed for lens/access errors that do not involve opening up the camera. See this link. Give these fixes repeated tries. But if unsuccessful, consider purchasing one of those used w180's, or better yet, a brand new model camera.

This soluction not working
Hi REYPERLA

I`m afraid resetting the camera will not work. The camera has a lens problem and is therefore giving the error.

Contacting your nearest Sony service centre is your only solution.

Sorry about the bad news : (

Lens Stuck
Same problem guys!!! LENS HAD GOT STUCK - ABOUT ONE THIRD OUT after a knock. After lots of playing, and tapping and batteries in and out tried the whole twisting and pulling thing whilst turning off and on.

After a few minutes it came free and whole lens popped out. I then had to twist the outer part of the lens to straighten that up and allow it to fully retract. Works a treat now!

PS Tried the Sony online chat support - useless!!!!

Access problem with DSC-W50
It's a problem with the lens. Usually, the internal focus lens jams up, or is out of alignment. It has to be opened up to be fixed, and the lens might have to be replaced. Occasionally, you can give the camera a good whack in your hand while it's powering up. Just be very careful not to hit the lens, or the LCD; as they can be permanantly damaged. Hit it with your palm on the corner, or edge. Also be sure the camera doesn't fly out of your hand...then it, or something will break, obviously.
