Sony Cybercam DSC-w120 stopped working completely for 1 week.

My Sony cybercam DSC-120 camera stopped working completely for 1 week when I went near the ocean. The power light cam on but the lens would not open and pop out. Today I turned the on button and after about 3 minutes it just opened. It makes all the noise for the buttons working but the screen is light and grey without a picture or anything, it just lights up. Its only 4 months old.I thought it may have gotten wet but it didnt appear to be wet when it stopped working.

Please try to reset the DSCT10 camera and check if it helps. To reset the Camera, please remove the Battery and press and hold the button for one minute. Then, leave the power button and reinsert the Battery. This should help to access the menu options

Hi,

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. If the camera is still under warranty, before trying any of these, please please first contact your camera's maker to see if they'll cover the repair, or to determine how much they'll charge for the repair. Who knows, you might get lucky. But if they quote you a number that's higher than the value of your camera, you may want to consider the following methods.

Place the camera flat on its back on a table, pointed at the ceiling. Press and hold the shutter button down, and at the same time press the power-on button. The idea is that the camera will try to autofocus while the lens is extending, hopefully seating the lens barrel guide pins in their slots.
Blow compressed air in the gaps around the lens barrels with the idea of blowing out any sand or grit that may be in there jamming the lens. Other variations include blowing with a hair dryer in “no heat” setting, or sucking the gaps with a vacuum (careful with this one).


Thank you!

I have the same problem, but when I remove the MS Pro Duo card (1GB) from the camera it works fine again. The memory card works fine in a pc memory card reader. Is there a problem with the Sony camera built-in card reader?

How can i use my sony dsc w-120 digital camera as a web cam?

You can't. The W120 was designed as a camera, storing images and videos to memory. It was not designed to stream live images to another device.
