Sony Cybershot DSC-W55 Stuck Lens Fix Repair 

Wow. I did the same (hitting it hard on my dining room table). My DSC-W5 now works perfectly again. Thank you!

I haven't used my cam for 9 months because the lens kept on coming in and out. Saw it in the shelf and tried this. Perfect! thanks!

Thanks. It really worked. Had to resort to a hard tap, but you saved me a repair bill.

THANKS!!! Your video really worked for my camera. The final step giving it a slam did the trick!!! Hope it keeps working!!!

Thank you so much! It worked with the vacuum cleaner! Now my camera is working again,and im happy for that!

taking the battery out and banging it on my desk worked!! i had no idea it would be so simple

tried a lot of things to avoid smacking it like suggested here. The gentle approach did not work. Smacked mine on my palm twice with power on and bingo! The lens retracted. This was on a dsc-w570. Thanks for the tip!

Thank you for taking the time to make the excellent help video. I have a Sony DSC-WX7 and fix number 6 cured my problem. Thanks again :-)

Advice worked like a champ! Thanks, dude. Had to tap it a couple times after cleaning but it's back to life.

Thanks for the video! Fixed my favorite camera that I thought was done in for good.

The banging on a hard surface worked! You are my hero. Thank you so much.

i thought my w80 that ive had for 10+ years was done for, thank you striker !!

Thanks you so much. I tried everything but your last advice to hit it on the botton worked for me.

DSC W110 .., had the same problem dude .., It worked man , It worked!! thank you

Wow! After 3 years of ot being able to use this camera it now works again!! I smacked it as you said :-D

Thanks for the tip. Though I didn't have the problem till now, but it is good to know. Cheers from Kolkata, India.

It worked after blowing the lens and banging the lower side of camera. Thanks 🙏 .

Had this problem with my dsc w55 - searched everywhere and tried numerous fixes but nothing worked. Was about to ditch the camera but found your vid. Hey sometimes the simple things work. Thanks it worked great for me!!

Thanks for that video, I have now repaired my camera ...without sending it away.

Dude you are genius, i just fixed my daughters camera she must have dropped and the lens got stuck.I took the wooden handle from my hammer and stared beating it until it got fixed WOW. Too good to be true but thanks for the tip.

LOL!! against all expectations hitting on the tripod hole worked. (SONY DX1) Thnx man. People at the store already gave me the advice to buy a new one.

Thank you very much my friend!!! You save my camera!!!!

Oh my god you deserve so many more subscribers! THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH I'm charging my camera and I'm gonna try this but you're getting plenty of positive comments!

Worked for me. Thanks a lot mate!

@striker1211. Hi striker, I have a Cyber-Shot HX10v and the Lens is stuck shut. The error message I get is, ''Turn Camera Off Then On Again'' I also have a Cyber-Shot HX50v, that whenever you opened up the Menu, the screen would giggle so much, you could never make any selections correctly. With that one I used ''Electronics Cleaner'' and sprayed around the Menu Wheel, while I pressed on the Wheel and Rotated it. After doing that twice, That fixed the problem with my HX50v & it works as it should, but the Stuck Lens on the HX10v has me stumped. I'm wondering if I can use the Cleaner on it. If it wasn't for the fact that these cameras are so easy to operate & also being a really great camera, I wouldn't bother with it but dang, the camera is over 13 years old & still runs for over $100-$120. With that said, I'd like to get it going so I at least I have something my grandson can use when he's over. He want's to learn about photography, so I want something for him to use until I give him one of the Canon EOS Rebel Cameras I own....

Canned air worked wonders. Thanks for the tip!

my lens is also stuck it wont come out fully any tips?

Thank you so much my camera is working now

@ 1:45 --- Thanksssss !!! That saved my brand new camera that fell and I had a black screen , black pictures.

thank you very helpful, Repaired my camera now.

Wow it works.Thank you for doing this video it is very useful 😊

My camera's lense is stuck and the camera keeps prompting me to turn on and off. Will this works too, mine is sony cybershotw220.

Thank you very, very much!!! My Sony now is working very good!!! ;)

Amazing :-P Hitting it realy hard on the tripod hole made it work. First few times I was to carefull Works now

how do you make the volume work when you want to see the video I recorded

It WORKS! thank you so much!!!!

thanks so much, im glad i helped someone

Hey thank you! somehow it worked for me. I dropped my sony dx9, hit right on the lens and then it's jammed. tried other video's pushing in suggestion and didn't work. I was determined to buy a used lens so I just tried whatever with it, and now it's coming out! but obviously my most front layer of lens is loose, but at least I can take pics with it again! thanks!

Whoa, indeed the slamming part helpt me out to! Thanks so much :D

Thank you! You saved my day! ^^ +1 subbed

Awesome mate !!!!! It worked perfectly well..thanks a lot

Thank you bro. This is the one I have

Thanks man ,, its working well right now

Hello, I am Tomi from Croatia, i was reading those coments and one guy said that it has to vacum the lens in order to repair the constant open-close loops on camera and he was right i vacumed it firstly with medium vacum force while coninuously pressing on/off button, lots of tiny peaces of dust, even peaces leafs came out, and then it worked, anyway i think its only temporary solution as for complete clean you need to dissassembly the camera completely.... vacum cleaner is the camera saviour and in the future keep your camera in a box or small camera bag... my camera was sony cybershot W530...

mine is stuck due to falling. I tried to put it on a camera stick but it fell of and one side got stuck into it. one side partially in and one side out.. the fear of mom finding it lead me to pushing the lens into the first position when its off. so now it shows lens error what to do? help me it had been hidden since like 1 year... help me

Its the hitting that works every time. I love technology.

Will this work for the H300

what i need use to clean the lens ?

Thanks a lot! used some compressed air to fix mine.

Thank you for your help.

are these cameras any good!

Thank you! Just saved me from buying a new camera. Worked like a charm.

Please help me I dropped my cyber shot from an ok distance and now the camera thingy won't go back in nor open I am so saf

It worked again after 3 tries of turning it on, grabbing the lens housing and hanging on firmly while it beeped and read "access". I turned it off, held on to the lens and used a soft watercolor brush to sweep all around the lens especially where the telescoping joints are. Works now! Thanks!

i turned it off so it could retract and i hit it hard on my knuckles on the lens side. it focuses perfectly now.

Thank u!works

woww it works! thanks for sharing

mounted mine on my dirtbike handlebar and i think it was all that vibration that stuck the lens. didnt bang it but opened it up and tapped the lens part a little, assembled and works now.

Thanks bro

My camera was just coming and going back and it says turn off camera but I have don't idea how to fix it!

Slamming worked for me

Thanks for the slaming tip,,

My memory card is stuck. How can I get it out

the slamdunk save my W30... thanks striker1211

Thanks for the advice! My camera wasn't focusing before, then I used pressurized air and blew on the camera as you indicated. Now it works great!

Not working on mine :(

mine wont close

Thank you thank you thank you I thought my camera Broke it was my sisters

Cleaning and blowing didn't work for me, but a hard tap did the trick!

My ksa thanks

i lovvee uuuuu

poderia ter legenda em Portugues neh, isso não esta me servido pra nada caramba

tried all of this. But the easiest thing that worked was to. Turn on camera, open up battery and remove, then the lens stays out. Then I took the vacuum cleaner nozzle and sucked out the areas around the lens. It worked! Yes, I got to it to work with no hitting. originally a slam made it work for just a bit,-but it didn't keep working. But I am not good at slamming a camera. For me I think it was just dust, but like all things there are different reasons they don't work. Had intermittent problems with focus problems, before the access issue arose. Don't follow my directions as the only thing in the world. I take no responsibility for what you do.

too many sexual references in this video

Fix computer in 30 seconds!

What?just slam it?no way I think that would break it even more

why the f is the video quality so bad i can take good pictures but the video quality sucks
