Quick Fix for Compact Camera Stuck Lens and Lens Curtain: Coolpix 

You have a very interesting accent that sounded like from the 1940s. That transatlantic accent sounds beautiful.

Someone may be willing to do what I did to remedy an identical problem I had with my camera. I just bought a camera today at a flea market and had the curtain problem. I simply opened the lens the same as you and took a q-tip lightly damp, not soaking and swireled around under the curtain. It took several tries but I didn't want to saturate that area so I kept the q-tip only damp. It worked, I don't know how long it will last though. I did touch the lens the whole time and it didn't damage it any. This was a $10 camera so keep that in mind. Your method is much better and more thorough but I still thought it was worth the comment. Thanks for your video. It came up while I was looking for a review of my new camera.

A very interesting and helpful video thank you Sir 😊

you put a plate and lock it from tripod socket, smart! you solve my problem for many broken battery door camera. thank you!

Thank you, Sir!

amazing job, i have an identical problem with a nikon s3000, i am half way in the job of fixing it.

Thank U....i will try a careful operation myself...

Do you happen to know how to fix a lens curtain that is manually controlled with a switch. The problem I have with my camcorder is that part of the lens curtain came off somehow and I am wondering if there is any way to reattach it. I have a Canon Vixia camcorder btw.

Very interesting video, i tried the method you did but my camera still didnt work. Do you have any idea how to fix mine? The camera lens are stuck and it keeps moving themselves in and out. It just keeps doing that very fast. Its like its clapping. I have Exilim Casio camera btw, will be very helpful if you know how! 😊

i have a diff kind of problem. there was a lose black thing frame on my nikon s3700. Should I try to open the cam like this? Will it work?

Sir what should i do my minolta camere inner lens is stucking to another

2 13 23 this vid has opened the door for the possibiiity of repairing my drawer of 7 dsc-w90 cyber shots. they all last maybe a year then the lens starts to stick tele-scoping open or closing. of course i suspect that Sony maintains its sub-optimal design. after all they sell for $300. based on that belief a smarter aproach is to find how to open one up. and locate and ID the fault. plus look for any parts that are worn out . then open the other ones .l get them all sized up . and decide what to do. possibly one or more can serve as a source of parts to re-use. does Sony have a parts dept. for replacement parts for these cameras ? good of you to have made this and posted it

Hi, what if my lense won’t come out in the first place like yours? When I turn my camera on i hear the mechanism trying to open but nothing happens unfortunately

You probably won’t know how to fix my issue but I own a Nikon Coolpix s4100 and it keeps telling me I have a lens error the camera is blurry and it shuts off closing the camera with it I’m not sure what else I can do 😪

Hallo Friend...I have a question for you, and you would be a person far more experienced, so I humbly ask for a simple answer, to a long question... It is regarding 2 hikers found dead in the jungles of Panama, 2014. Their camera was recovered, it was cracked and had water damage. Professionals extracted the images from the memory card or something like that. The last 90 fotos, all were nonsensical and mostly facing the sky, dark of night, heavy rain, 90 consecutive fotos, the final two fotos had 48 minute gap. I contend that the camera and the girls fell off an 8' ledge seen in the fotos, the camera going haywire, jammed into a cycle of snapping pics. The fotos show camera movement/change of views... Which is the vibrating camera on a rounded rock/boulder. Tell me please... Is it POSSIBLE for a dropped camera to react in this way?? There are thousands of people SPECULATING about this mysterious case of two Dutch girls who tragically lost their lives... Thanks!!

My camera is ES80 and it does turn on, but, the camera lens doesn't even come off. I tried to open it but the screws are stuck. Plzzzzzzzzz help me

I just wanna ask sir if you know how to fix the flash problem with the nikon coolpix, the flash is not working

These old cameras are giveaways. Don't waste your time fixing these.
