Lens errors are fairly common. Usually it's sand or grit interfering with the lens extension mechanism. Or the camera's been dropped with the lens extended. Or the camera has been powered on, but the lens had been blocked preventing its extension. Or the battery ran down with the lens extended ... Here's some things that you can do to try to correct it. They only seem to work for less than 50% of the lens errors, but if the camera is out of warranty, they're worth a try: http://camerarepair.blogspot.com/2007/12/fixing-lens-error-on-digital-camera.html

Kindom Hearts II Freezing

Possibly the disk, you need to clean it with disk cleaner.
If the trouble still persist, it's the lens problem.

Open the case, then the mechanical case, after you see the lens, use a soft cotton buds, then put it in alcohol, then rub the lens firmly.
After that rub again with cotton buds without the alcohol, that should fix the problem.

I have a 2001 Ford ranger supercab that makes rattling noises. It has a 4.0L SOHC. It makes a very fast and loud metallic rattle wich softens anfter about a second or so when I first start it for the day....

4.0l's are notorious for valve rattle on cold start-up. There is really nothing you can do to make it go away short of completely replacing the valve train in the top end, and that isn't a permanent fix. It's is an top end oiling issue from the factory. Just don't race your engine on cold start-up until the rattle stops.

The rattle in the transmission sounds to me to be more of a loose dust shield/heat shield around the transmission or exhaust than a mechanical issue.

I have just bought a brand new top loader but it will not start

Probably too many clothes in the washer. Remove some and restart.

Rattles & won't play

If you only hear a rattle then it might be another case of locked lens. For some reason the lens on the phat psps have been known to lock, meaning that they will spin but won't read. This might be the problem and you might want to contact sony about it.
