Canon Powershot s70 not working at all! :(

My Canon S70 just died. It wont turn on. I tried new batteries, took out and replaced the card. It wasn't dropped, or bashed; it just stopped. Now I have a decision to make - pay over £100 for a 'service and minor repair' from a Canon authorised service centre.... not really worth it. Certainly won't replace it with another Canon! Any suggestions as to how to fix it/get it fixed? My Canon S70 just died. It wont turn on. I tried new batteries, took out and replaced the card. It wasn't dropped, or bashed; it just stopped.

Hi there, had my S70 for about 3 1/2 years and I was prety happy, as this really is a great camera that produces great results, but, it just died on me, no warning, from one day to the other, so I don't know, what to do really, the repair probably cost an arm and a leg, but I haven't really used it that much and always treated it carefully, so any ideas for self repair perhaps?

Sad to say I am experiencing the same issue. S70 just up and died took a few pics outside while it was in my hand between shots the LCD powered off and the lens stayed out. Its been that way even since. At the time the battery was recently charged. Sad to say I am experiencing the same issue.

My Camera was working great one minute went to use it the next and there was a buzzing noise and the lens will not go back in will not work at all now. I did not get wet or get dropped.

Same problem, similar to previous posters.
Couple of hours ago I turned it on for a snapshot.
However, got stuck with the lens zoomed all the way out.
Can't get the lens to retract
All I hear is a buzzing sound, the display shows "E18" and shots off Same problem, similar to previous posters. Couple of hours ago I turned it on for a snapshot.
