Hello Sammy, The lens assembly is a very delicate part of any camera. It contains small servo-motors and inductance coils along with the actual lens. Even service centers are having trouble managing to fix this and these problems lead in most of the cases in the replacing of the camera's lens assembly. I recomand you to go to a service center, present them the problem and then ask them for a cost estimate before they do something with it. I'm sorry this is not what you wanted to hear. Back some time in our history sultans killed the messangers who delivered bad news. :)

Jammed Lense)

Make sure the lense is not bent. If so, gently straighten it. This worked with mine.

Trying to transfer images

The best solution is to obtain a card reader. Apart from anything else it will save a fortune on battery power. Are you connecting the camersa direct to computer or via a hub? and how many other USB devices are hooked up and running? All relevant- reduce these and see what hapens
