Question about Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W50 Digital Camera

Black screen/error/turn off and on again

Hi, here's my problem. When I turn on my camera it says "Access" and then the "Turn off and on again" message. I have tried the solution that was posted to another person's question where you gently pull the lens out, but when I gently pull the lens out it doesn't go any farther than it already is. I was wondering if there is another solution to this problem that I can do myself or if I'm just not doing it right. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks!

When the camera turns on the screen stays black and the lens will not come out.

Hello, "turn off the power and on again" its a very comman problem and occurs when the lens block assembly start malfunctioning. Actually the slide motor not work properly and until the lens not come out completely the camera will not work, that's why the error message appears "Access" and then screen shows "turn off the power and on again". In this situation you have to replace lens block assembly.And the part No. is with description is given below: A-1512-913-A LSV-1250A Thanks for using fixya.

Hi,

Turn the power off and on again message is displayed when the Lens mechanism is stuck or when there is an internal malfunction. To resolve the issue, try turning off and on the power for few times. If the issue persists, try power resetting the Camera.
To power reset the Camera, remove the battery from the Camera. Press and hold the power button of the Camera for 30 seconds. Remain the Camera without power for 60 seconds and reinsert the battery to check the operation.
You can also try Initializing the Camera by selecting the INITIALIZE option from the SETUP1 Menu of the Camera.
If the issue persists, service may be required.
