@lydiak27 "the lens was slightly lopsided but now it has been pulled back into place" definitely sounds like a damaged lens. Do make sure that the Lens Holder Block on the camera chassis is not damage and that it is still properly seated. Of course, you can try and disassemble the lens and check it for any damage. If you can identify the lens for us, we might find the proper teardown for it. Otherwise it may be time for a new lens.

@lydiak27 that is the standard lens for this camera. As always, give it a try and see if you can determine what happened to the internals of the lens. Use this [document|35433]to work on it. At this time you really don't have anything to lose. It does not work to begin with, so all you can do is make it better :-)
