I just got my camcorder out for the first time in years, and the LCD will not turn on and the lens cover is stuck open. When I flip open the LCD, the lens makes some clicks until the camera automatically shuts off. i have charged the camera for about 10 minutes, so I know it has enough charge to open.

Had same issue. Appeared to solve it by turning off USB Streaming when not connected to pc.

Take the battery out and turn selection switch to camera and then turn it off. Put the battery back in and its working again.
if that doesn't work try
Try smacking the side of the camera relatively hard with the palm of your hand. Eject the tape and reinsert. You may need to do this a couple of times.
