The camera fell on a ledge at the airport, crashing to the ground. The lens was stuck in the out position and the camera said lens error. I was able to get the lens back in, but the little cover never closed and now it gives a system error and the lens won't extend out. It just says system error.

I have successfully fixed the same error on a Nikon 2100 by dissasembling the camera and removing grit from the gears that drive the lens. However, if the camera has been dropped, I suspect that something has got dented or bent. It may be worth taking the camera apart to see if a gear has got dislodged.
I would warn you to be very careful not to get a shock off the flash capacitor inside the camera though. Also, it took me quite a while to put it all back together. It's not the easiest device to work on, a result of the very compact body (for its time!)

The lens got stuck in the out position and won't go back in...The screens displays "ERROR 3" which we have no idea what that means.
The lens has just stayed in the extended out position. It hasn't been droped or mishandled. The screen says 'lens error!' I've re-charged battery it worked for a bit then the same happened again. I tried re-charging it again but this tinme no luck. Any solutions anyone?
