Hi, I'm pretty sure the camera is a goner because lens' aren't meant to be shoved back in. More then likely the motor and some optics have become jammed, if not broken. Repairing that usually isn't possible and if it is it tends to cost more then the camera did.

Hi, my 16" Ryobi seems to have suddenly gone

When you are cutting you want to keep the chain out of the dirt...dirt will dull a chain so fast it will make your head spin. sound like you need to have the chain sharpened..there are mini grinders available for about 20 bucks that will allow you to sharpen your own chain...if you don't want to go that route then you can take the chain to your local hardware store or possibly a tree cutting service to get it sharpened
