Hi, my camera seems to be completly dead. The

The Canon G9 has a design defect, two screws fall out inside the camera and short out the fuse. If you've never had it fixed for no power before this is most likely what has happened to your camera.

Do a Google search for "canon g9 no power repair" and you will see a full repair service including return shipping of your camera for just $85.

There is not way to reset it if you get “lens error”. The lens stuck, you need to send it for repair.
