There is probably moisture in the lens assembly. This can prevent the mechanical gears, Iris and lens retractor from functioning. Store the camera in a dry environment for at least 24 hours and try again.

Sounds like your lens might be stuck. Do not force it closed or pull it out for that might further damage parts that are an integral part of its sliding mechanism. http://www.teleplancamerarepair.com/Sony_Cyber-Shot_DSC-W150 can repair this for you and they also clean your camera as part of the repair.
if there were any parts you were not able to put together after you opened it , make sure to very carefully put those back to go along with your camera.

I had the same problem with my Sony DSC-W150 camera. It turned out to have an easy fix. At the same time, press the power button and depress the shutter button halfway (the one you snap to take pics) as if you were trying to engage the autofocus without pressing the button down entirely. The lens will attempt to autofucus, which in my case was enough extra power to dislodge whatever debris/sand had clogged the lens. Hope this works for you!

how do you formate memory stick if the camera woke work at all. It keeps saying reinsert memory stick . Must be a w150 problem cause that's what mine is doing too! :(

allienment with the mother board and also failure of the sensors of the lens unit,so contact sony service
