I've had a Canon TZ7 for probably around 18 months or so, just before it was a year old I got the lcd replaced under warranty as it had a few dead pixels appear. When I got it back I noticed that the lens was a bit rough when extending out and also that the zoom controller wasnt as free as it used to be, now I know I should have done something about it straight away but being the lazy git I can be I didnt as it was working ok. Yesterday I took a couple of pics of my little boy before going out for a walk with him and then last night when I tried it I got an error "system error - focus" or similar on screen, turned it off and the lens wont go in, now its probably not worth me getting fixed but was wondering if anyones had anything similar and knows what the problem is and if there is some magical fix???

Cheers
 
Ignore, saw a guide on youtube that showed bashing it off the desk whilst starting it up now its working again, time to get the compressed air in and clean it out :)
