Hi I found this info on the Nikon Australia website:
"
System Error" or "Lens
Error" message in LCD monitor
Question
My COOLPIX camera displays a "
System Error" or "Lens
Error" message. What should I do?
Answer
Having a "
System Error" or "Lens
Error" message displayed on the camera's LCD monitor would generally indicate that your camera needs servicing.
A
System Error is a general
error which can be caused by many things: lens problem, CF Card problem, general camera failure, etc. To troubleshoot, please try the following:
- Use the memory card that originally came with your camera (or a Nikon approved card).
- Remove and replace the battery.
On the other hand, a
Lens Error generally means that an
error has occured during the lens operation. To troubleshoot, please try the following:
- Turn off the camera.
- Remove and replace the battery.
- Turn on the camera.
If the above tips do not help, your camera
must be sent to our Nikon Authorised Service Centres, there are no user serviceable parts in our Nikon COOLPIX cameras.
We apologize for any inconvenience caused and we will do everything to repair your Nikon camera as quickly as possible.

Seems you may just have to remove and replace the battery - sort of like a Windows Restart to fix a computer problem! - this would reset your camera's memory.
Hope this helps.
My battery door broke also on my Nikon coolpix 4600 and tape will not hold it shut. It is hard taking a picture and trying to hold the battery door shut at the same time.
