Hi. I've just solved similar problem. I don't know if it would help you too, but here it is: The problem was caused by a stall of one of motors, probably the one opening lens. Its transmission is very delicate - I had to open it very carefully, clean it and apply some silicon lubricant. I deattached transfocator ("zoom") motor and its transoptor too (taking care of small cap). I moved it by hand to check if it was stalled. It wasn't, but - who knows - maybe that helped. Then I assembled everything back and - to my surprise - camera started to work properly. Remember: BE VERY CAREFUL while opening camera- it's very easy to break "foil wires"!!!!! Always remember to open the connector before pulling wire out of it and DO NOT USE FORCE! I know this method and its description is kinda lame, but maybe it'll help you in some way - I hope. Greetz from Poland! Mono
