Camera won't stay turned on and she's sentimental pls help <3!
I know this is a long shot at getting a response but I absolutely adore this camera and don't have anywhere close to have it looked at so I may as well try !!
The camera can turn on, but the lens cover doesn't open, and it makes strange error/malfunction noises, then the lens cover flicks open and closed clickly before the camera shuts itself off.
If I bump the lens cover open a bit while it's turned on for a short period I can see out of it which is why I don't think the lens itself is an issue,
It's also interesting that the camera seems to work as normal (no weird noises) when it's on charge (the cover stays up but i think that's normal for when it's charging)- I can turn it on and it doesn't shut itself off
Any information on troubleshooting would be so so helpful, thankyou <33
Ist dies eine gute Frage?

let me guess...she used the internal storage instead of a stand alone sd card? Just wondering.
I would first try...buying some electrical cleaner (spray can) at walmart . Take the battery out....grab an old tooth brush...spray inside the battery compartment....& the battery leads on the lithium battery- scrub a dub dub the battery leads on both cam & battery.. Blow out the whole camera with a can of Air. Put it back together recharge the battery. Turn on again....if it continues to to act up then I would buy a replacement battery. If a battery is damaged or weak, it will cause the camera to make funny noises as it struggles to do its job. My 2 cents.
