When i turn it on the lens will come out but the cover that is over the glass part of the lens wont open
If debris like sand or dirt get into the mechanism which closes that cover it will jam shut. Try gently placing something pointy in the gap between the two blades of the cover. Do not force them apart, if this is going to work they should free with very little pressure. Be very careful not to touch the lens especially if you are using something metal to separate the cover.

the lense cover does not retract at all. This has never occurred before. We've tried gently brushing out the covers with a soft paint brush.
Have the same problem and the lens covers will open easily when using a manual device to open them but will not retract on their own when you turn the camera on.
