I tried the paper method, to no avail.<br />I tried Jeff's vacuum hose trick. The end of the vacuum hose fitted nicely over the cover. I tried several times, a few seconds each time, getting the cover to half close. I was wondering whether to perservere - was the suction distorting the flatness of the plates? I tried a last time, and eureka, the cover suddenly worked perfectly once again. <br />There must have been a tiny piece of grit in the cover, and the vacuum eventually sucked it out.<br />Many thanks for this site, and the contributors.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-438678654059813712.post-13818685324843086592016-07-02T02:48:46.412-07:002016-07-02T02:48:46.412-07:00Thank you so much for taking the time in making th...Thank you so much for taking the time in making this video and written instructions. I have an old trusty Canon Powershot SD870 IS and my granddaughter played about with the lens and managed to stop the lens retracting and the lens was also not sitting square (meaning that when looking straight at the camera from the front the rectangular box shape around the lens was at an angle). I looked at all your options for fixing the lens jamming problem and the last on your list worked for me. I can hardly believe my luck. I am so pleased that you showed us this simple technique. Can't thank you enough.

This article helped me realize I had a shutter that was stuck open. Removed lens, set to fireworks mode, took picture while tapping on camera body, pulled battery and repeated. After several attempts the shutter freed. Did some continuous shooting to loosen it up. So far so good. Saved me $100.

Such a stupid stupid mistake and I cannot believe that I did that but now I am getting a message that the battery is drained even though the batteries are freshly charged. At first I was able to take a photo and a short video before the battery message popped up but not so much now. Did I ruin my camera or is there anything that I can do to correct this. Never will I make this mistake again. So stupid. Thankfully I bought this camera used knowing that I was going to convert it to full spectrum myself but I still hope that it is salvageable.
